Chief of Adansi Kwapia and elder brother of the late Samuel Aboagye, a former Deputy Director of NADMO, Nana Kwabena Gyamera Oyiakwan II, has revealed that his brother doubted the paternity of his 3-year-old child.
According to Nana Kwabena Gyamera Oyiakwan II, his brother had always doubted whether he was the father of his three-year-old child.
Speaking to the media after court proceedings on November 11, 2025, Nana Oyiakwan said, “When the helicopter crash happened, our younger brother Samuel Aboagye was among the victims. When the bodies were taken to Accra, the families were asked to identify them through DNA tests. I went there and called his wife, who was in America, to bring the child for the DNA, and she agreed, but she never did.
“They later took my DNA sample, as well as samples from my mother and another child Samuel had with a different woman, to help identify the bodies. But when Samuel was alive, he doubted the paternity of this particular child, and our mother is aware of that. So, when his wife refused to bring the child for the DNA test, we were not convinced.
“After the funeral, she asked that we perform all the traditional rites and let her return to her family house, but when we requested to conduct the DNA test, she refused.”
Meanwhile, the family of the late Samuel Aboagye has dragged his widow, Mrs Abigail Aboagye, to the Obuasi District Court.
The family of Samuel Aboagye is requesting a DNA test to confirm the paternity of a child he shared with his wife, Abigail Aboagye.
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.
