Tensions have reportedly escalated between a young man, popularly described as a “galamseyer,” and his girlfriend’s family following a paternity dispute that has sparked public debate.
According to accounts circulating locally, the woman gave birth to a child with distinctly Asian features and maintained that her boyfriend was the father.
Her family allegedly supported the claim and pressured him to accept responsibility, despite visible doubts.
Reports suggest the situation intensified, with threats and demands that he take custody of the child.
Unconvinced, the man opted for a DNA test to establish biological paternity. The results, he claims, confirmed that he was not the child’s father.
Following the outcome, he reportedly requested reimbursement for the cost of the test, estimated at about GH¢3,000.
Sources indicate that the woman’s family has since appealed for leniency, stating they are unable to repay the amount and seeking reconciliation.
The incident has ignited conversations around paternity fraud, family pressure, and the role of scientific evidence in resolving sensitive disputes.
Legal experts note that DNA testing remains the most reliable method of determining biological parentage and can prevent long-term emotional and financial consequences.
While the matter appears to be shifting toward a private resolution, it underscores the importance of due process, responsible claims, and open communication in addressing paternity concerns.
