Married Kwara State Politician In Paternity Mess (Photos)

The past has come calling for Honourable Sulyman Warah, the immediate past member of Kwara state house of assembly.

21-year-old Shola Olusola Warah has petitioned one diagnostic centre in Kwara, copying the medical and dental council of Nigeria, Abuja, Correspondents Chapel of the NUJ in the state and Legal Aid Council, Kwara state chapter on the alleged unethical practice/breach of agreement of the Centre and its staff.

The young man who is a student of Federal College of Technology, Akure, had cried out after years of the absence of ‘fatherly care’. According to him, he did not pay too much attention to the fact that he has never been close to his father until he recently gained admission in the higher institution and he saw the way his colleagues talk about their fathers. He however decided to take the bull by the horn by getting in contact with his alleged father, Honourable Sulyman Warah.

Vanguard reports Honourable Warah who is now married to another woman with four girls, denied that Sola is his biological son although he admitted that he dated her mother 2 to 3 decades ago.  In a bid to try to prove his innocence and by also clearing himself from the stains which might affect his political life, the politician agreed to a DNA test suggested by Shola. But when the test result came out, it did not confirm the Honorable as his father. The young boy however said he suspected a rat as his father might have influenced the test result.

The young man, alongside his mother and some other family members approached Vanguard office in the state, with their petition.

”Many times when I’m among my friends in school, and they begin to tell stories of what their fathers did for them I always feel terrible that I don’t have such stories to tell. “Many times I’m frustrated but my faith in God and the knowledge about life have kept me alive because I have a very strong hope that I will make it in life”.he says.

“At 23, I don’t want anything from him,just for him to accept me as his son. I know that my God that had kept me till now will see me to the top. I want to know my biological father so that I can be psychologically balanced for life. I won’t be an outcast whenever I’m in the midst of people discussing their fathers. For all I know, I did not drop from heaven, I have never heard or read anything like that across the globe. Somebody must have been responsible for the pregnancy that led to my birth. It’s only a woman that can tell the real father of a child,s o when my mother told me about the whole scenario, I believed her,” the young man said with teary eyes.

Shola’s mum

Shola’s mum, Afusat, who is a businesswoman in Ilorin has also married another man with children. She told Vanguard how she had a love relationship with Honourable Sulyman Warah, when she was in Ilorin Grammar School, (IGS), Ilorin, while Honourable Warah was in a university some 29 years ago. She recalled how Warah’s people and friends knew about their relationship and her pregnancy, adding that later Warah denied responsibility till date, “because of the fear that his parents could stop financing his education”.

However, when the politician was called for his own side of story, he said:

”To put the record straight, fine, I knew this girl some 24 years ago or there about. I was in the university then. Shortly after, I didn’t hear anything from her until about two years later. I was even away. I was not in Ilorin then. She took a kid to my family house. A two-year old kid. And of course, my parents protested, saying how could they accept that when their son was not even around. Anytime he’s in town they would look for her and that two of us would see eye to eye to straighten things between two of us. And we never saw her again until years later. When she came around again, I said it’s okay, let’s go for a test. And that was all. When I was preparing to contest for an election then in 2007, she came briefly. I was not around. She was asked where she had been all along since we’ve agreed to run a test. So, that was it until, I think, early this year. That was the first time I was seeing the son in question.

“We now agreed,thank God we now have a reputable diagnostic centre where we can have that test done. Appointment was fixed, we went there. I paid the fee of N75, 000 for the test. Sincerely speaking, the first time I entered that place was the first time I met the guy that conducted the test. And the second time I was meeting him was when we went for the result. We went there and the man asked us salient questions; are we conducting the test for peace of mind or judicial purposes? And the two parties agreed that it was just to clear our conscience. I didn’t know there were different types of tests for different purposes. The test was done and some few days later, I was called by the man that the result was ready. The other party was called too. We attended.

“And the guy opened his e-mail, having made us to realise that they have a partner in the US and that they don’t run the test in their own lab there. He said the specimen would be taken and through courier to their partner in the US. Which was what the guy did. He said that the result would be sent to his e-mail.

“ In our presence, he opened his e-mail and read the result out to us all. I have a copy here. I am not a medical doctor. The result said that the alleged father is not the biological father of the tested child. The conclusion is based on the non-matching of the specimen etc. When the aunt of the mother of the boy said she suspected foul play, sincerely speaking, what I said was that, if you are not comfortable with this result, I am available. Let’s go somewhere else and re-do it. If the son is mime, I will accept him. But I can’t take whats not mine. Since then, you have not come back to me to say we should do it somewhere else.

“The next thing I was seeing was social media attack as if there’s something sinister or they were being sent by some political opponents. I have started to think of probably there are some other matters behind all this. Because, if not having given you my words, why all this? They were just cooking up story for people to attract pity. If they want to go anywhere else, I am ready. ”
