Dora Kayode, the wife of Super Eagles player Olanrewaju Kayode, has firmly refuted the allegations questioning the paternity of their children, Soccernet.ng reports.
Earlier this year, the football star made headlines when he threatened to commit suicide after reportedly discovering his wife's alleged infidelity with popular UK-based pastor Tobi Adegboyega.
Dora Kayode has now addressed recent claims suggesting that the Nigerian forward is not the biological father of their three children.
Reports circulating the Nigerian media indicated that Kayode had conducted a DNA test, which purportedly revealed that the children were a result of his wife’s alleged extramarital affair.
Responding to these reports, Dora, through an official letter written by her lawyers and addressed to her husband, dismissed the allegations as “baseless and humiliating”, asserting that they were made with the intent to damage her reputation and harm the children.
In the letter, Dora stated, “no DNA test has ever been carried out on any of the children, as you well know. However, our client is willing and ready for such a test to be immediately conducted by a reputable and neutral instituition or facility if you so desire”.
She also accused Kayode of orchestrating the smear campaign, citing his silence since the rumors emerged as evidence of his involvement.
The mother of three demanded that the footballer issue a public disclaimer with 24 hours of receiving the letter. Failing this, she would seek full custody of their children in the ongoing divorce proceedings.
I have always this media hype as some form of sensationalism which doesn’t consider the damage it does to victims. I should also include that even when it is conducted there should be scrutinised review to determine transparency and truth not compromise or subjective errors.
