21-year Old Student Insists Ex -Lawmaker Is His Father Despite Negative DNA Test.

Shola Olusola Warah, 21, a student of Federal College of Technology, Akure, in company of his mother Sarah and other members of the family was looking psychologically distraught when they visited Saturday Vanguardoffice in Ilorin last week to narrate their dilemma.They insist Honourable Sulyman Warah is his father. But Honourable Sulyman Warah,immediate past member of Kwara state house of assembly ,now married to another woman with four girls still denied that Sola is his biological son even though he admitted that he dated her mother several years ago. The pressure being mounted on him at critical moment of his political life,according to him, prompted him to accept to do a DNA test so as to put the case behind him once and for all. Confusion followed when the result did not confirm him as Shola’s father. Hon Sulyman Warah also said he was ready to follow them to carry out another DNA test elsewhere.Shola suspected a strong foul play that his father had used his political influence against them and therefore brought a petition over DNA test carried out by one diagnostic centre in Ilorin which stated that Warah was not his father. During clarification with Saturday Vanguard,with nostalgia, Sola said he could have possibly poisoned himself among other nasty things he thought about if not for the strong faith he had in God which has been keeping him going in life. According to him,”Many times when I’m among my friends in school,and they begin to tell stories of what their fathers did for them I always feel terrible that I don’t have such stories to tell,” he said, his eyes heavy with tears. “Many times I’m frustrated but my faith in God and the knowledge about life have kept me alive because I have a very strong hope that I will make it in life”.he says. “At 23, I don’t want anything from him,just for him to accept me as his son. I know that my God that had kept me till now will see me to the top. I want to know my biological father so that I can be psychologically balanced for life. I won’t be an outcast whenever I’m in the midst of people discussing their fathers. For all I know, I did not drop from heaven, I have never heard or read anything like that across the globe. Somebody must have been responsible for the pregnancy that led to my birth.” On how he knew that, Honourable Warah is his father,he quipped, ”Its only a woman that can tell the real father of a child,so when my mother told me about the whole scenario, I believed her” The mother now in tears being consoled by relations who accompanied them recalled her love life with the former member of kwara state House of Assembly some twenty nine years ago which later culminated into the birth of Sola. Ishola’s mother, Afusat is a businesswoman in Ilorin who has also married another man with children. Madam Afusat told Saturday Vanguard that she had a love relationship with Honourable Sulyman Warah, when she was in Ilorin Grammar School, (IGS), Ilorin, while Alhaji Warah was in a university some 29 years ago. She said that Warah’s people and friends knew about their relationship and her pregnancy, adding that later Warah denied responsibility till date, “because of the fear that his parents could stop financing his education”. Recently, when the agitation from the young man becmae unbearable to the mother, Afusat said she met with Warah on the need to have a DNA test conducted to finally resolve the age-long and lingering argument. Thus, they collectively agreed to approach the Diagnostic Centre in Ilorin, where sample was collected and test conducted to decide the matter once and for all. Interestingly, the result allegedly showed that Warah is not the biological father. However, Shola, his mother and the people from his side smelt a rat and suspected foul play in the manner the test was conducted
