Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as LilWin, a Ghanaian actor, has revealed that he has been fathering a child for ten years, who is not his.
According to Lilwin, a recent DNA test shows he is not the biological father of that child.
Lilwin, speaking during a TikTok Live session, revealed this, adding that he did not react with anger, urging other parents not to react angrily if a DNA test reveals that a child they have been raising is not theirs.
Lilwin stated, “There is one child among my children whom I have fathered for about 10 years, but the child is not mine. I have many children, but one of them isn’t mine. Recently, when we went to check and I realised the child wasn’t mine, I didn’t get angry or anything”.
“The DNA issue is a true story that happened to me, and I want to tell everyone that if the same thing happens to you, don’t get angry about it because, at the end of the day, in one way or another, we still take care of other people’s children,” he noted.
“The truth is that from the beginning, I suspected the child wasn’t mine, but I took it normally. I even run a school where I take care of other people’s children and support widows as well. The only issue I have is when a woman knows a child is not for a particular man, that man is taking care of the child, and she still wants to disturb him,” he added.
In related news, Gomoa Central MP Kwame Asare Obeng, commonly known as Kwame A Plus, has announced plans to lay a Private Member’s Bill in Parliament to criminalise paternity fraud.
The Private Member’s Bill is proposing jail terms for women who knowingly mislead men into raising children who are not biologically theirs, and possibly introducing mandatory DNA testing after birth.
Kwame A Plus, speaking on United Showbiz, explained what he sought to achieve with the bill, saying, “Any child that is born needs to know his father and mother. I know of a man who has birthed 5 children. He is now 70 years just recently learned that four of the children are not his, just one was his.
I know of someone also, who was taking his children abroad, when they went for a DNA test, the woman went to the lawyers and said she was not going to do any DNA test, and she disclosed that the children are not the man’s. The man was abroad, thinking he had four children here and was spending on them”.
He added, “Yesterday I heard Kofi Bentil say when the law is passed, it means we are going to crimalised adultry as a crime, we are not trying to prevent anyone from cheating in their marriage or in a relationship.
The bill we are taking to parliament, we are not thinking about it now; it is already drafted, and we are going to present it”.
Also, a netizen identified as Abena Manokekame, who shared the news, stated, “A Plus (MP for Gomoa Central) is planning to bring a new law to Parliament to make paternity fraud a crime.
In simple terms, he wants women who knowingly lie about who a child’s real father is and make a man raise a child that isn’t his to face jail time.
He’s also suggesting that DNA tests could become mandatory after birth, so the real father is always known from the start.
Let me go and dust my markers and papers. It’s time to start making some noise”.
The Gomoa Central MP’s proposed legislation to Parliament has sparked public debate over whether such a law would be healthy for Ghanaian society.
