SP Bright Edafe raises debate on mandatory DNA testing at birth

Public Relations Officer of the Delta State Police Command, Bright Edafe, has sparked conversation online after questioning whether DNA testing should be made compulsory at childbirth in Nigeria.

In a post shared on social media, Edafe referenced an alleged incident in Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State.

According to the account, a man reportedly discovered suspicious messages on his wife’s phone, prompting him to conduct DNA tests on their three children. The results allegedly showed that none of the children were biologically his.

Edafe noted that while the matter caused significant personal distress, it does not constitute a criminal case for the police to prosecute, thereby limiting law enforcement involvement.

SP Bright Edafe shared: “Should DNA test be made compulsory at child birth?
There is a serious issue in Uvwie LGA Delta State, where a man (name withheld) asked to use his wife’s phone, while he was at it, a message poped up from a mistery man saying “how are my two kids” the man out of shock decided to check further, he discovered that his wife had more than twenty male sexual partners. To cut the long story short, the man who is now 50+ years old carried out a DNA test for their three children, hmmm, guess what? Non of the three children belongs to him. I ask again. They attempted to make it a police case, unfortunately, its not a police case.”
