"My name is Goodluck but my friends in Ghana call me Burly. The
incident actually happened when I was younger and in Ghana and the lady
involved is a Ghanaian. I met this lady at a gold shop in Accra, Ghana
in early January 2016 and we exchanged numbers. Weeks later, we got
intimate and then in February 2016, she called me that she was pregnant
for me.
In Ghana, they take issues of men getting their girls pregnant
seriously. The lady's eldest sister, a nurse, called me and told me that
I have gotten her sister pregnant and that they only need me to take
responsibility for the child. The sister told me they do not need my
money. I said if it is my child, I cannot deny it. I am a man and I can
take care of it. They started collecting money from me when she was 2
months into the pregnancy. In a week I was been charged 1,200 cedis that
is like N120,000. I asked for a pregnancy test to confirm if she was
really pregnant.
We went to the hospital and they confirmed that she was
pregnant. I wasn't allowed in when she was running the test. Normally
I was paying for child support. Then one day I said to her, you are
just two months down and I have been spending so much already. At
a time she said she was going to go for an abortion. On that good day,
she called me and said Goodluck I have terminated the pregnancy, you can
go your way now and I don't want to have anything to do with you.
We
lost communication for like five months and then suddenly, she
contacted me again when I was in Dubai and sent me pictures of the baby,
complaining that I was in Dubai chilling while she was in Ghana
suffering with my baby. She sent me photo of the baby. I
had to come down to Nigeria to show my mom the pictures and she was
like this was how you looked when you were a baby.
I said oh really,
then it's my baby. I went to Ghana
to take responsibility of the child but before she allowed me to see
the child, I had to buy two iPhone 6+ for her and her big sister before I
could get access to the child. Before I could come around, I have to call her, that I'm coming to see the baby. So
when all these things were happening, I kept insisting that we go for
DNA so I can be sure. But the girl ignored and kept playing around, she
even told me that if I confirm and the baby is mine, am going to lose
custody of the child"
Asked
why he was insisting on having a DNA, Goodluck replied "How can you
just pop up from nowhere and say this baby belongs to me when we lost
communication for like 5 months? She saw
my pictures that I posted when I was in Dubai and then contacted me. I
was like can we go for DNA test so I can be sure that this baby belongs
to me. She said DNA test is expensive. I said she should not worry abut
the money. She came up with the threat that if I continue asking for a
DAN test and if we then confirm that the baby belongs to me, I am not
going to have access to the baby again. So that was when I went cold. I
didn't complain again. So one day, my brother came down to Ghana from
Nigeria and asked to see Najib, my son. I didn't call the lady that I
was coming because normally I must call before coming to see Najib. So
that day, I just took her by surprise. I gave her an unannounced visit.
My dear, that baby wasn't her's. She was never pregnant. She taking a
neighbors child to run the scam.That day, I drove there with my brother.
There is a store before her apartment and I saw a woman carrying this
baby. My brother was like who is this woman carrying Najib? I was like
that is my girl's neighbor and by right, she has access to carry Najib. I
went to the girl's house first and I didn't meet her. I met her sister
who was shocked that I didn't call her that I was coming. I was like can
I see my son, I am here to see my son. She was like which son? Do you
have a son? I was shocked. I was like, don't you know me? I have been
giving you guys money.
I went
downstairs to meet the woman carrying my son and I was like please give
me my son. The woman was like what are you saying? Which baby belongs to
you? I brought out pictures. I opened the trunk of my car to show her
things I bought for the baby. The woman was like what am I even saying.
The woman now brought out her breast and started breastfeeding Najib.
That was when it dawned on me that I had been defrauded. There was an
elderly man there who called me and told me that the baby in question is
his grandson, his son's son.
I arrested her and jailed her at Accra
police station. After a while, I was like I found out the baby wasn't
mine and there was no need prosecuting her. I just stopped the case. I
came back to Nigeria from Ghana two months ago and I have said whenever I
go back, I would still go and see Najib because I still have that
feeling of that I have a child somewhere. When she told me she was
pregnant, I was so happy that I have a child and then waking up to find
out the baby isn't yours. The feeling is bad. Najib's mother did not
know her son was been used to carry out fraud".
On why he did not expose her on social media, Goodluck said " I
don't want to implicate her because where ever she is now, I don't know
if she's happily married. I don't want a situation whereby the person
dating her will get to see this and want to break up with her. That was
why I published on social media without details".
