Yakubu Gowon accepts 48 year old son after DNA test confirms he's the biolagical father

The 48 year legal tussle over the paternity of Jack Musa Gowon, the love child of former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, has ended with Gowon accepting that he is Musa’s father after a DNA test confirmed this.

Musa who recently returned to Nigeria after spending 20 years in an American prison, is the love child born from a secret affair Gowon had with late Edith Ike-Okongwu.

 In a statement he personally signed and released yesterday March 9th, General Gowon said,
“Following years of doubts and speculation, a DNA test was recently conducted to ascertain the paternity of Musa Gowon who recently returned to the country. The results of the tests were conclusive and they confirm his paternity. We, the family, are working to assist in his rehabilitation following a very difficult period in his life. As we look forward to the future with faith in God, we request that our privacy be respected. Thank you"
Musa and his late mother have been in a long legal battle with Gowon who refused to accept him as his son. He was born to Miss Edith Ike during the Nigeria Civil War in 1968, when Gowon was Head of the Federal Military Government and Commander-in-Chief of the federal forces.

Edith who later remarried, died of cancer several years ago.

20years in a prison? Jeez,that must have set him back in life. Anyways,thank God Gowon has accepted him. He will make things right. His will,of course,will be rewritten soon.
God bless Musa. Thank you Gowon.

A military personnel denying the paternity of his son is almost unprecedented. Gowon is a cocktail of arrogance and naivety.

So he can accept now

kulikuli said...

And this man was Nigeria's leader?!
He abandoned his responsibility to his son for 48 years, even used the front pages of major newspapers to deny ever knowing the woman how much more her son. This was many years after the war ended. Everybody who knew them before the war, knew they were about to get married, but for that war.
And now after so much has gone wrong and he even has no so called 'legitimate son' to boast of, he claims a virtual 'stranger' as his son?

This man Gowon has been blessed with long life for one big reason;because he has a lot to publicly apologise for. I hope that he is even wise enough to realize that everything he lived and worked for, depends on it.

He shouldn't have even bothered with the DNA test. The young man looks like him.

OMG. What shall we say to these things? And to think that Gowon allegedly got Princess Edith to apologise to him before her death... shame on any man who will willingly sleep with a woman without protection and vehemently deny her if a pregnancy results.

I'm sad because if this test was done earlier Musa's life would have turned out better. Being rejected by one's father must be a terrible experience and then his mum died early, no one to stand in the gap and say I'm there for you. I truly wonder why Gen Gowon hesitated for so long knowing full well he had an affair with the late Edith. Now 20 very crucial years have been wasted. Well I hope he will be well rehabilitated and his life will be a success. He is almost 50, that is a lot. Gowon didn't do well at all. I'm of the opinion that he has always known the truth, even the facial resemblance and complexion; he was selfish. Strength is demonstrated in the ability to accept one's wrong,make amends and move on.
I do wish his life turned out better and he never bothered with Gowon. Now how will they build a relationship at their ages and after rejection.

General Gowon no doubt that this guy is your son he resembles you very well thanks for DNA.

Those are the stupid kind of presidents we have in Nigeria. So greedy to even accept their own seed after knowing they went in there without protection. How could such a person have helped strangers who he ruled? Nonsense

Biological! I get it - you're tired.

What an iressponsible father Gowon was to the poor son

TheRealAkon said...

Please God , can you imagine the psychological trauma and low self esteem this Musa has suffered in prison ( though his fault 4 making bad choices ) and years of fighting with his late mother for Gowon to accept him as his biological son? Musa & Gowon - like two peas from same pod with so much similarity in physical features didn't warrant any DNA test for God sake! 48 yrs it's taken to make him whole and accepted ! Or shall I say - where's Allah!

SMH

Anonymous said...

So during the civil war when gowon was busy killing igbos, he allso found time to fuck igbo girls abi? No wonder he denied the boy was his, cos accepting the boy would mean accepting sleeping with helpless igbo girls during the war.

Unknown said...

I don't blame his action at all. Truth is scarce nowadays.

Lol.that was a twist.

Musa was set up and jailed because he is black! You jobless haters should check the story and read through before saying Igbo blood means crime! As you say what you don't know without finding out the truth, may what you don't know kill you! Judgemental idiots!
