Alleged Infidelity: Court Orders Paternity Test For Nollywood Actress, Ronke Odusanya’s Daughter
Magistrates Court in Lagos State has ordered that a paternity test be conducted on the daughter of Yoruba actress, Ronke Odusanya following separation from her estranged partner, Olanrewaju Saheed.
According to Premium Times, the magistrate, M. O. Tanimola, gave the order on Wednesday, February 10, 2021, when the case was brought before her at Court 8, Samuel Ilori Court House, Ogba, Ikeja magisterial district, Lagos state.
The actress and her estranged partner, Olanrewaju Saheed, popularly known as Jago welcomed their daughter in 2019.
The pair are currently in court for several reasons including the welfare of their daughter, Oluwafifehanmi.
Odusanya’s baby daddy, through his lawyer, requested the court to order a DNA test to ascertain the paternity of the child, on the ground of suspicion of infidelity.
The actress and her lawyer agreed to Saheed’s request on the condition that he would foot the bills.
Odusanya’ lawyer however pleaded with the court to ensure it is a court-supervised DNA test.
The Magistrate then ruled that the DNA test be done at an undisclosed hospital and that the result will be sent directly to the court.
The case was adjourned till March 31, for further hearing.
In December 2020, both parties were enmeshed in a messy separation scandal that was broken by a popular Instagram blog.
Among other things, the blog alleged that the famous actress ‘‘ruined the father of her child, financially by making him sell off his assets to fulfill her luxurious desires.”
She however debunked the allegations in an Instagram post, saying the rumours were ‘irritating and fact-less information.”
Odusanya also slammed the report that she ruined the father of her child, financially, saying “bank statements can reveal who has been receiving money from who and for what.”
