Sanwo-Olu’s alleged son has dragged him to court.
EKO HOT BLOG reports that one Emmanuel Sanwu-Olu, who claimed that the Governor of Lagos state, Babajide Sanwo- Olu, is his biological father, has taken the case to court following the refusal of the governor to undergo a DNA.
A senior lawyer, John Aikpokpo, in suit number: EHC/148/2022, filed on behalf of the young man, said his client had claimed that the current governor, while working at a private company operating in Delta State from 1994 to 1995, dated and impregnated his mother, Grace Moses and disappeared.
He claimed that he began questioning his mother about his father when someone drew his attention to the fact that the defendant bears Sanwo-Olu.
According to him, he saw similarities between him and the governor and showed videos to his mother, who confirmed he was his father.
His lawyer said, through his application, that the governor has refused to give his client attention, The Whistler reports.
He, therefore, urged the court for the following reliefs: “A declaration that the Defendant is the biological father of the Claimant begotten from Madam Grace Moses of Oleri, Delta State.
“An order directing and compelling the Defendant to acknowledge and accord the claimant all the rights of a son in accordance with all the laws applicable whether customarily, statutorily or constitutionally.
“An Order of perpetual injunction restraining the defendant from further denying the parenthood of the claimant.”
On Tuesday, Martins stated via his Facebook page that the governor has filed an objection refusing to undergo a DNA test.
