Stephen Amoah, the Member of Parliament for Nhyieso, has debunked the allegation linking him to the child of the former NADMO Deputy Director, Samuel Aboagye, one of the 8 victims of the helicopter crash.
According to Stephen Amoah, he met Abigail Aboagye seven years ago, but had not seen her for the past seven years until he was invited to her husband’s funeral.
He argued that he only met her again during the funeral of her husband, which makes it impossible for him to be the father of the three-year-old daughter of the widow.
The Nhyieso MP further argued that he is not crazy to father a child with someone’s wife.
Speaking during an interview, Stephen Amoah stated, “I have no issues with anyone in the family. I don’t know any of them, not even the young man (Samuel Aboagye)… I knew the lady seven years ago, but I had not seen her for the past seven years, till recently, when I was invited to her husband’s funeral, which I attended.
“I don’t know her husband anywhere… For over seven years, the only time I saw her was at the funeral, where I asked how she was doing,” he added.
The MP further detailed, “Do you know that when I went to the funeral, her sister, who looked like her, tried to hug me? But thinking it was her, Abigail Aboagye, I rejected the hug and told her that widows are not supposed to be doing this. And the sister said that, ‘Honourable, you are mistaking me for AB, I’m not AB ooo.’ This is now serious; it is”.
“Do I look like someone who will father a child with someone’s wife? Why am I crazy?” he quizzed.
He reiterated, “For the past six to seven years, I have never seen her. The last time I met and exchanged pleasantries with her was at the funeral.”
The rumpus follows: the family of Samuel Aboagye, who is requesting a DNA test to confirm the paternity of a child he shared with his wife, Abigail Aboagye.
The family has sued her for obstructing the investigation, but she’s also asking the court to stop the DNA test mission.
However, Abigail Aboagye has refused to consent to the test and has filed a petition in court to stop the family from proceeding with it.
Rumours suggest, Abigail Aboagye was allegedly having an affair with one Ashanti Region MP (name withheld), even before he passed away.
In court, Mrs Aboagye’s legal representatives have reportedly filed a motion asking the court to reject the family’s request.
The Obuasi District Court has adjourned the case to December 23, 2025.
Angel FM Kumasi (ABN) reporter, Chuku Joseph, detailing the matter on Angel FM Kumasi, stated, “Ali (Host), what is happening is that among the helicopter crash victims was Samuel Aboagye, the Deputy NADMO Director. We were called by Nana Kwabena Gyamara Oyiakwan II, the Chief of Adansi Kwapia and elder brother of Samuel, to witness the court proceedings.
“The issue is that after Samuel’s death, his wife, Abigail, was contacted for a DNA test requested by the government to confirm the identities of the crash victims.
He added, “At the time, she was in the United States. She initially agreed to provide their child for the test, but when the date arrived, several calls to her went unanswered. When the family visited her residence, they discovered she had left with the child.”
“According to the family, while Samuel was alive, he allegedly expressed doubts about the paternity of the child, claiming the boy resembled a child of a certain politician, who is a Member of Parliament in the Ashanti Region,” Chuku noted.
The Angel FM reporter added, “The chief mentioned the politician’s name, but since there is no concrete evidence so for now, we cannot disclose it publicly”.
“It appears that she was allegedly dating the said politician before marrying Samuel, and the family claims the child resembles the politician. Because of these suspicions, the family wants a DNA test conducted by MediLab in Kumasi. But Abigail refused, left for the United States, and the family has now brought the issue before the Obuasi District Court,” Chuku explained.
