A Nigerian man has dragged his wife to the Akwa Ibom State High Court over the paternity of their third child. According to Akwa Ibom journalist and judiciary reporter, Harrison Essien, the petitioner is seeking to establish the paternity of the 2-year-old girl because he suspects his wife's pastor is the biological father of the child. He further claimed that his wife, a nurse at a top hospital in Uyo, would often leave home under the pretext of night duty, but was allegedly traced to a hotel with the cleric. FROM THE COURTROOM THIS MORNING. While many are preparing for their traditional marriage today, an engineer is dragging his wife, a nurse at a top hospital in Uyo, before the Akwa Ibom State High Court, seeking to establish the paternity of their third child, whom he suspects belongs to her pastor, Harrison wrote. "He told the court that the relationship allegedly began when his wife became the pastors family nurse, adding that he only recently discovered he may not be the biological father of the child. "The petitioner said he had cared for the two-year-old girl since birth, noting that she was the gender he desired for a third child. "He further claimed that his wife would often leave home under the pretext of night duty, but was allegedly traced to a hotel with the cleric. The petitioner alleged that the pastor, who resides in Uyo, is aware of the child and has been involved in a series of WhatsApp conversations with his wife, expressing concern that the child may one day identify him as her father.
