A fresh controversy has erupted in the ongoing paternity dispute involving Nigerian music superstar Davido, as the mother of his alleged oldest daughter challenges recent statements made by his former attorney. The case, which has captured public attention for years, took a new turn following claims about DNA test results.
The dispute centers around 11-year-old Anu Adeleke, who recently celebrated academic success as Head Girl at her school. The celebration prompted Davido’s former lawyer, Bobo Ajudua, to publicly assert that two separate DNA tests had previously confirmed the singer was not the child’s father. However, Anu’s mother has now come forward with explosive allegations that cast doubt on the legitimacy of the testing process.
In a detailed statement, Anu’s mother directly contradicted Ajudua’s version of events, asserting that only one test was conducted, and under questionable circumstances. She described a scenario that raises serious concerns about the testing protocol, claiming the procedure took place at “a small clinic” rather than an accredited medical facility. Most notably, she alleged witnessing a suspicious transaction involving a brown envelope between Davido and an individual who identified himself as “Dr. Alex,” later revealed to be Mr. Wale Sobola.
The mother’s account specifically challenges the credibility of Ajudua’s statements, pointing out that he wasn’t even employed by Davido when the testing occurred in 2014. She emphasized that the blood sample was taken in a private room rather than a clinical laboratory setting, further questioning the test’s validity.
The controversy has gained additional momentum with revelations that Dr. Kemi Olunloyo, a controversial journalist who has been following the case, has repeatedly requested a second DNA test. According to Anu’s mother, these requests were made as recently as 2019 but were declined by Ajudua on Davido’s behalf.
This situation highlights broader issues surrounding paternity testing protocols and the importance of proper medical oversight in such sensitive matters. While DNA testing is generally considered highly reliable when conducted under appropriate clinical conditions, the circumstances described by Anu’s mother raise significant questions about the integrity of the process in this case.
The mother has been clear about her motivations, stating she seeks neither validation nor support from the Adeleke family, but simply wishes to establish her daughter’s paternity conclusively. Her public statement emphasizes that she and her daughter have “moved on and doing well with their lives,” suggesting the primary goal is truth rather than financial gain.
This controversy adds to a series of similar allegations that have surrounded the music star, particularly during a difficult period in 2023 when he and his wife were still grieving the loss of their son. During that time, multiple women came forward with claims about relationships with the artist, including Anita Brown, who gained significant media attention with her allegations of pregnancy.
The situation became more complex when Paris entrepreneur Ivana Bay made similar claims, presenting what she alleged were screenshots of conversations with the artist. Additionally, Kenyan socialite Pendo Stacy and another individual named Chisom came forward with their own allegations about romantic involvement with the singer.
These accumulated controversies have sparked broader discussions about celebrity, responsibility, and the importance of transparent and proper medical procedures in paternity cases. The situation also highlights the challenges faced by all parties involved in such disputes, including the impact on the children at the center of these controversies.
As this story continues to develop, the focus remains on the well-being of the 11-year-old Anu, who has reportedly been excelling in her academic pursuits despite the public nature of these disputes. The case underscores the complex intersection of celebrity culture, legal proceedings, and family matters in the digital age.
