00:00My name is Deja Adelike. You are all welcome to our home. I'm the father of our five children,
00:16three boys and two girls. Deja Adelike, that you all know as Deja Adelike,
00:26he's the baby of my family, he's the last one. And I'm calling this press conference,
00:32this is my ever first time of addressing the press. And for just one single reason,
00:39I'm not on the social media, but I'm sure those of you in the social media
00:45will have been undated with all kinds of talks about. Almost every year this thing, you know,
00:53keeps coming up regarding one little girl called Anulupo that lives in Ibada.
01:05That Kemi has continually alleged that, Kemi Ulu lawyer has continually alleged that
01:14David is the father of the little girl. To start with, let me put it on record that
01:23I have 14 grandchildren. And I'll tell you the story about Anulupo and what has happened since
01:36I received a letter in 2014 from a lawyer in Ibada, alleging that my son David
01:45saw somebody pregnant and abandoned the person with the child. And I'll tell you what the actions
01:54that I took immediately and what, for the reason why I call this conference, press conferences,
02:00for us to address. I'm not even sure if it's legal for someone to impersonate a minor.
02:12This Kemi Ulu lawyer has been after my son David for many years. Everything she says about David is
02:23always negative and negative, trying to put him in bad light, you know, with the public.
02:30This that I'm about to read to you is what I received from the sister to Anul's mom
02:38that lives in Abuja. I'm not going to mention her name, but she's in communication with me.
02:48When this happened, she was the first, because I'm not in the social media, she saw the thing that was
02:57supposedly written by her niece. And then she sent this to me. Good afternoon, sir.
03:06I hope your day is going well. I just saw this on a blog post. I just wanted to clarify that the account
03:14account is not run by me, Ayo or my mom. The account is run by Kemi Ulu lawyer, whom we have
03:24caught ties with years ago. I really do not know why she keeps posting these things, knowing fully well
03:33that we are no longer in communication. We have reached out to her several times to stop posting anything
03:41about Anu. I'm sorry if this embarrasses your family in any way.
03:48And as you believe that I saw this, I called David. David, have you seen anything in the social media?
04:00He said a lot of things that this woman has started again. And I've always told David to ignore this woman,
04:07because someone, her own son, her own biological son, you know, has come out to the general public to say
04:18that he disowns her. She's no more her mom. She's crazy. She's that. So if her own son can say that about her,
04:23why should we bother about what she says about David? That was right. I've always told you, just please, just ignore her.
04:29You know, and move on with your life. So when I received this, and I'm on YouTube, I've seen all kinds of things.
04:41People have been saying, and I just said, look, this might be a good time for me, as head of my family, to say our own side of this story.
04:54Like I said, I have 14 grandchildren. So what will one more do? Is it that I will not be able to afford to do things for her,
05:04or, you know, bring her to my family? For their signs. DNA. If you say you are my granddaughter,
05:19and the sign has proven that you are my granddaughter, I will gladly accept her. So let me tell you the story of how I got to know about Anu.
05:35I received it. I received it. This is the document. I received this in the mail.
05:46Through it, through the letter to my office. This is the DHL.
05:53It was sent to me by Bandele A. Aiku & Co. from Ibaga. In 2014. By DHL. And in the, in the package,
06:10there are pictures of a little girl. And pictures of David. I mean, they put David picture, you know, with the little girl.
06:23This was, maybe, they took a, I don't know where the crop baby's picture, and put it. And this is the mother of the girl.
06:32So I received this in the mail, 2014. And in that mail, also,
06:42curiously, there was the birth certificate of the child. And what caught my attention was that,
06:55in the record of the birth certificate, in the record of the birth certificate,
06:57they said, full name of father, Adelike, David. Full name of mother, Adelike, Ayotomibe. How can she be Adelike?
07:08So that is, see that caught my attention. And then also in that DHL package,
07:24was this letter from the grandmother, grandmother of Anu, which had telephone number. I'm going to show everybody up close,
07:42so you can see everything. And he wrote, Diasa, I know you and your family are in good health,
07:51and your work is striving well, because the Lord has been good to you. So I do not expect otherwise.
07:56Sir, I am a widow with two daughters. I lost my husband 13 years ago, and I have single-handedly raised both of them,
08:06with the help of God, but still haven't been, but has been very challenging. Early last year, my eldest daughter, Ayotomibe,
08:18Ayotomibe informed me that your son, David Adelike, was responsible for her pregnancy.
08:24Their meeting occurred when your son came to Ibadan, for a show. I started with her as a mother to ask her about the father of the child,
08:31and she has confided in me so many times that your son is indeed the father of her child. She put to bed on November 19, 2013,
08:41and gave back to a baby girl. So I am not trying in any way to distort you, but to ask that your son steps up for paternity tests,
08:52to confirm and take full responsibility of his daughter. I am also not asking your son to marry her at all.
09:00Contained in this envelope are pictures of the baby and my daughter. Sir, I know you are a God-fearing man,
09:07and I plead with you for the sake of the pain that the widow goes through to raise her children,
09:15that you give me a quick and favorable response. Thank you and God bless you.
09:20Immediately I saw this letter, even before calling David, before telling David about this,
09:28that I called this woman, and I said, look, I have not spoken to my son yet,
09:36but I am going to speak to him. But I will suggest to you to give me your address in Ibama.
09:43I will send my driver to come and know where you live. But I can assure you that if this girl is my granddaughter,
09:52you have no problems with me. I will welcome her into my family happily.
10:01She was happy. She gave me her address. I gave the address to my driver.
10:07My driver went to the next day to know exactly where they live. And I told her that, look,
10:14the hospital that I use in Lekki, here, is an Indian hospital.
10:19Vardik Hospital. That's where I do my check-ups and everything. And that, I can ask the hospital to arrange for a DNA test.
10:30So when I went to the hospital and went there myself, the hospital told me that they don't actually do the DNA test in-house.
10:43For there is a clinic that they partner with. They will invite to take samples of both the child and the father.
10:55For these samples to be sent to South Africa for analysis.
11:02A laboratory in South Africa because it's not done in Nigeria. I don't think they have a lab in Nigeria that can do the DNA analysis.
11:12And I said, okay. And I called out, gave out the information.
11:16Now, anytime they are ready, I'll send my driver to pick you up from Ibadan.
11:21So on the appointed day, I sent my driver to Ibadan. Very early.
11:27And my driver brought the mother of the child, the grandmother, and the baby.
11:34The three of them came. And my driver knows Vardik Hospital. They came in hours.
11:44They were already there before I came in. I asked them to come here. And Lassie, his aide.
11:50So David, myself and Lassie went and we met them at Vardik Hospital.
11:58We went upstairs and the Indian doctor said, you know, you allow only David, myself, the grandma, the mother of the baby and the child, Lassie can't wait.
12:11So we're all in the same room. And he told us the procedure. It was not, I've read in social media that they were drawing blood.
12:20It's not, it was not done by blood. It was from their saliva in their mouth.
12:26So they brought it in and swapped babies and put it in the container and sealed it.
12:33Swapped the babies' own and sealed it. And he told us that these samples will be sent to South Africa for analysis.
12:40And then when it's ready, myself and the mom and the grandmother signed, the grandmother of the baby,
12:48signed that both of us will be the ones to receive the result.
12:52So on the, when the result was ready, I called her, Madame, they said that the result is out.
13:00I'll send my grandma to pick you up, so that both of us, because they will not give it to one person.
13:05We've already signed that both of us will see the result.
13:09So we went and they opened the result before Buddha first.
13:19And, you know, I'll read, I'll read to you what, and I'm still going to show it to you.
13:24I'll show you all the, the other ones that we did also.
13:29But I can only show you to, but I will not allow you to copy it because of one reason.
13:34Number one is very dangerous for someone's DNA profile to be in the public.
13:44Dangerous for David for one reason.
13:47Somebody can use it to frame him.
13:50If somebody commits a crime tomorrow and they say, you know, they've taken sample of saliva or blood or whatever,
13:59or, you know, or a spam or what, you know, in case of rape.
14:04And the police comes out to say, this is the DNA profile of the person.
14:09The person will go to jail.
14:11So I cannot share, I'll let you see it, but I'll not allow you to copy his DNA.
14:17The person that says, shows the result without the DNA profile.
14:21I'll show you, you can copy that.
14:23And at the same time also, I cannot legally share with you the DNA profile of that innocent little girl.
14:30I know, because she's a minor and I don't have the permission of her parents to share her DNA.
14:38So we have to be very careful.
14:40But anyway, but I'll show you the result for you to just see.
14:43And so they opened the, this was the, this was the,
14:59the first DNA, this is the original copy that I was given one and the grandma was given another one.
15:11And at the end of the whole story, they wrote here that probability of paternity, 0.00%.
15:25And the mom asked the lab guy that, what does this mean?
15:30It means that David is not the father of this child.
15:35And she was really disappointed.
15:39She broke down.
15:40She was crying, the grandmother.
15:43And then, okay, I skipped a point.
15:47When, when I, when we first got to the, to Barney Cosme with David,
15:53and David saw the girl, David said, Daddy, I've never seen this girl before.
15:58And what I told David, I said, look, I don't want to listen to you.
16:02Whether you've seen her before or not, all I want is this DNA test.
16:08I don't want to know the story.
16:10I don't know what happened.
16:11I don't want to know.
16:12Ask if this girl is our child.
16:15I'm taking her.
16:17I was settled.
16:22And then it was, you know, as you get, have you seen it?
16:25I said, stop.
16:26Don't talk to her.
16:27So now, you know, it's like you're harassing her.
16:30Don't.
16:31So the girl was very quiet.
16:33The girl, she didn't say anything.
16:35She kept quiet.
16:38So we went.
16:40So the mom was disappointed, was crying that the result was not what she expected.
16:46And I told her, I said, look, you can make mistakes.
16:51Maybe they made a mistake in the lab.
16:54Maybe there's something.
16:56What I would suggest to you is let us do two more tests.
17:00I'll advise that you please stay in Lagos for one week.
17:06I'll pay for your hotel.
17:08The baby is here.
17:09The mom is here.
17:10The three of you should stay.
17:12Find two more reputable places.
17:15I don't know where else.
17:16This is the only place I come.
17:18That can do this DNA test in Nigeria.
17:21So that I can go there and do it before.
17:26So I give some money to my driver.
17:28Go and get the hotel.
17:30Make sure they are comfortable.
17:32Give them some money to keep.
17:34If you want a driver to drive around?
17:41Find me more.
17:44I'll find you for your 번ies.
17:46After more.
17:47I can add the ticket to the n-person as I received.
17:50Save us.
17:53Email us.
17:55We'll find you over.
17:58Okay.
17:59If you want your driver to drive around.
