In the midst of the ongoing societal debate surrounding DNA testing and paternity fraud, former Big Brother Naija contestant Doyinsola Anuoluwapo David, popularly known as Doyin, has stepped forward to voice her perspective.
In a statement shared on her Instagram page, Doyin acknowledged the divisive nature of the issue, recognizing the emotional turmoil it can evoke for both partners involved.
However, she emphasized the necessity of approaching the matter with rationality and understanding.
“It’s not a bad thing for your partner to request a DNA test,” Doyin wrote, laying out her viewpoint with clarity. “If he wants to take care of a child that isn’t his, let it be his decision to do that intentionally, not because he thinks he’s the father.”
Doyin’s perspective stems from a recognition of the alarming prevalence of paternity fraud, a phenomenon that has increasingly come to light in recent years.
With advancements in DNA technology and heightened awareness, more cases of misattributed paternity have been uncovered, shaking the foundations of trust within relationships and families.
“The rate of paternity fraud is too high for you to think emotionally if your partner asks for a DNA test,” Doyin remarked, highlighting the gravity of the issue. “It’s a painful request, but it’s understandable.”
