US-Based Couple Fail DNA Test For Twins At
Embassy
Controversy currently trails the parenthood
of five-month-old twins who were presented
at the United States of America’s embassy by
their supposed parents for the procurement
of visa.
Consequently, the couple have been arrested and
are being interrogated at the Special Fraud Unit,
SFU Milverton, for alleged child-trafficking.This
follows result of a DNA test ordered by the
embassy which reports showed that the couple
were not the biological parents of the twins as
claimed.
Although investigation, according to the unit, had
not been concluded, there were indication that the
children could have been bought for N1.8 million
somewhere in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
Following the discovery, the passport of the
supposed father, Mr Adenuga Shoyibo, a Nigerian
based in America has been seized pending the
outcome of the investigation.
But Soyibo, who claimed to be a USA citizen,
maintained that the children were theirs,
disclosing that the twins came at a traditional
home in Port Harcourt, 15 years after they got
married.
He further revealed that he paid N1.8 million to the
trado-medical practitioner for the herbs
administered to his wife which eventually led to
her conception.
But in the course of investigation, Commissioner of
Police in charge of the unit, Mr Tunde Ogunsaki,
was said to have detailed some policemen to
accompany Elizabeth to the trado medical home
where she claimed the babies were delivered,with
a view to ascertaining her claim.
The CP said: “During investigation, detectives
travelled to Port-Harcourt, Rivers State where the
woman claimed she gave birth to the twins in a
private small house. But on reaching Port-Harcourt,
the woman claimed she could no longer locate the
place, she also stated that she had no antenatal
record anywhere as she did not attend any.
“Adenuga Soyibo, who claimed to be the father of
the twins, on his own part, said he was also given
local herbs that boosted his sperm count that
produced the babies.
Both suspects claimed they could no longer trace
the woman whom they paid the N1.8 million for
the local herbs for the babies delivery. They also
could not produce anyone who knew about the
conception and the subsequent delivery of the
babies.”
Mr Soyibo, however, said he met the woman, one
Mrs Okoro, last year, adding that when the delivery
date was near, he arrived the country November
19, 2012 and four days later his wife travelled to
Port Harcourt where she was delivered same day
and returned to their Ikorodu abode the following
day.
He further stated that he did not go to Port
Harcourt with his wife, saying he was too tired
because of the journey.
Currently, Soyibo’s travelling documents have
been seized pending the outcome of investigation.
But the couple were released on bail, yesterday,
and advised to be visiting for further interrogation.
