Here's What Happened After Comedian Nedu Discovered He's Not the Father of His Wife's First Son

The State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, Yaba, Lagos, have seized two children from Uzoamaka Ohiri, the ex-wife of comedian Chinedu Ani, a.k.a Nedu, and handed them over to the comedian.

A senior police woman, CSP Margate Ighodalo reportedly asked Ohiri to bring two of her three children to the SCID, where they were handed over to their father, Nedu.

One of Ohiri’s relatives who spoke to The Punch, said, “Can you imagine the Police are interfering in a civil matter because Nedu is influential?

“This is nothing but oppression. Why should children be brought to SCID? Now, they have been handed over to Nedu. This is sad.”

Ohiri and Nedu have been engaged in a messy feud in the last one month.

She had called out her ex-husband, accusing him of domestic violence, and alleged refusal to take care of his two children.

Nedu responded by posting a DNA test result of their first child and only son, which showed that he was not the boy’s biological father.

Defending his latest action, Nedu stated: 
“I am sad that once again, I need to clear the air on what I consider a private matter. But for the sake of all the parties involved, it is pertinent that I do so.

“Please let the following be clear to all journalists, blogs, news platforms, etc;

“1. Contrary to the rumours being peddled around, I do take care of my children and will continue to as it is my duty.

“2. Neither I nor the police forcefully took my kids away from my ex-wife. It was a unanimous agreement. Please feel free to read her handwritten statement and also see the bag with which she brought their clothes.

“3. The children in question were taken to Owerri to live for over a month without my consent or permission. My ex-wife took that decision without consulting me… I paid for the flight for her to go and bring them back to Lagos after it was agreed by all parties that it was better they were returned to Lagos especially as they school in Lagos.

"4. I am a person who believes in doing things the right way and so far on this matter, I have stayed within the provisions of the law. A case was filed against my ex-wife for cyber-bullying and other grievances. She was invited to respond and the matter is ongoing alongside custody resolution.

“I am tired of the sensational manner in which this news is being dispersed. I do not grant interviews or speak on the matter to the press. I would advise my ex-wife and her cousins/sister to follow suit.

"We are not dealing with inanimate objects here but living and breathing beings who will one day deal with the consequences of this fall-out.

“I truly want to continue to focus on my career, my family and my life as I am not the first or the last man to have a failed marriage.”
