At the very moment when actress Laide Bakare is celebrating
her new born baby boy, that arrived on Friday May 31 in New York, her estranged
first husband, Olumide Okunfulure has cut the joyful twinkling claiming short,
as he claims to be the father of baby. The thing; Laide Bakare has re-married
to another man, Tunde Oriowo.
The first husband, Olumide, is claiming he was still
married to Laide when she fell pregnant and quit their marriage controversially
without hinting him. Speaking from his base in Washington DC, the Ile-Oluji, Ondo
State born businessman said:
"I heard that my wife delivered a baby boy
barely two months after she made a release that we were divorced, and she's
saying that the baby belongs to one Mr. Tunde Oriowo. That's a lie, wicked lie.
I'm the biological father. I have pictures to show that we were always
together, but she deliberately kept the pregnancy out of my knowledge."
He however said, "in other words, it might be
the result of her extra-marital affair without my knowledge, because there were
cases that she would leave me and our daughter in the US, come to Nigeria all
in the name of promoting her movies but staying with married men in Lagos. I
couldn't monitor her because I was not always in Nigeria."
Olu Mighty as Olumide is fondly called by friends
vowed to take legal action, as well do DNA test to ascertain the child's
paternity. According to him;
"I don't want to put laws into my hands. So, I
have already notified my lawyers in the US and already contacted my lawyers in
Nigeria about the matter, because she has many questions to answer. If she
wants to prove herself right, I challenge her to go for DNA test because that
would unveil the true father of the baby."
Olumide, the father of Laide Bakare's first
daughter, Similoluwa equally noted that he's still legally married to the
actress, saying that:
"She's still my wife. We're legally married.
She came to the States to deliver using my surname and my green card. It's just
unfortunate she's using all the things I did for her to favour another man. So,
our marriage is intact, legally. And if she wants to quit, legal action must be
taken."
