The family of billionaire businessman, Tunde Ayeni has confirmed that the lingering paternity controversy involving one Adaobi Alagwu and her daughter, Omarosa, has been put to rest.

According to the family, all evidence presented has exonerated Ayeni from any paternal connection to the child, marking a definitive end to the saga.

“This matter is now closed. Tunde Ayeni has moved on, focusing on his family, business, and other productive engagements. There is no relationship whatsoever between him, Adaobi Alagwu, or her daughter,” the family said in a statement.

DAILY POST recalls that the controversy surrounding the paternity of Omarosa came to public attention after Alagwu claimed that Ayeni was the biological father of her child.

Ayeni recently swore an affidavit before the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), stating categorically that he has no paternal ties to the child.

In the affidavit, Ayeni alleged that Alagwu manipulated him into believing he was the father, going as far as tampering with a DNA test to support her claims. The businessman emphasized that he has withdrawn any consent previously given for the child to bear his family name.

“Ms Alagwu manipulated me into believing that I was the biological father of her daughter, Omarosa Abimbola Ayeni,” the affidavit read.
