BBNaija’ star Rachel Edwards reveals reasons for Paternity Fraud.
Rachel, former BBN housemate has recently discussed her opinions on paternity fraud in an interview.
In Nigeria, the problem of paternity fraud is at an all- time high.
When a man is accidentally or purposely named as the biological father of a child when he is not, this is what is termed Paternity Fraud.
Six out of ten paternity tests are negative, according to the DNA Centre for Paternity Test in Ikeja, Lagos State.
According to Rachel, a person could commit paternity fraud for personal motives.
She stated that woman can pin her pregnancy on a guy for a variety of reasons, including fear, shame and ignorance.
“Personally I am not in anybody’s life who has committed paternity fraud. But if we are looking at society; shame could be one thing. It could be fear, it could be anything.”
Elvis said, “If I was a woman and my man came to me saying ‘I want a paternity test,’ I would be heartbroken because if he wants to test if it’s his child. He’s setting a lack of trust. If you feel I’m able to pin another man’s child on you, I would be very hurt. But if it was me, I would do that DNA test if I feel I’m innocent, and after I will file for a divorce.”
Rachel added, “There should be a reason why you wake up and ask for a paternity test, because if you don’t trust me why would you marry me?”
