“Stop Doing DNA Tests, It’s Against Igbo Culture” — Odumeje

Image
Controversial Nigerian Pastor, Chukwuemeka Cyril Ohanaemere, popularly known as Odumeje or Indaboski Bahose has sparked widespread reactions online after sharing his views on DNA testing and paternity verification. In a recent statement, Odumeje argued that conducting DNA tests goes against traditional Igbo cultural beliefs. He emphasized that any child born within a marriage should automatically be recognized as the husband’s, framing such acceptance as a key aspect of marital and cultural integrity. The cleric further questioned the reliability of DNA testing in Nigeria, claiming that local laboratories cannot always be fully trusted to provide accurate results. According to him, this uncertainty raises doubts about the validity of paternity tests conducted in the country. Odumeje’s comments have reignited debates on social media, with some supporting his stance on cultural norms, while others argue that modern science should take precedence when questions of paternity arise.
