Grace Moses, a 47-year-old woman, has urged Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to recognize her 27-year-old son, Emmanuel Sanwo-Olu.
Grace made the request on Tuesday, January 17, 2023, at the Delta State High Court 2 in Effurun, Uvwie Local Government Area of the State, according to WITHIN NIGERIA.
According to a senior lawyer, John Aikpokpo, in suit number: EHC/148/2022, filed on behalf of Emmanuel, his client claimed that while working at a private company in Delta State from 1994 to 1995, the current governor dated and impregnated his mother, Grace Moses, and then disappeared.
He claimed that he began questioning his mother about his father when someone pointed out that the defendant bears the surname Sanwo-Olu.
He saw similarities between himself and the governor and showed videos to his mother, who confirmed he was his father, him.
He also said on his Facebook page that the governor has filed an objection to the DNA test.
Grace, The Alleged Babymama, Speaks Out
According to the DAILY POST, Grace called on Governor Sanwo-Olu to come and collect his child after a series of threats from the boy during an interview with journalists after the Court adjourned the case.
She said:
My message to Sanwo-Olu is that he should come and collect his child. The baby is grown up. He is troubling me. If not for God, I would have been dead by now.
The baby is now grown and he’s threatening to kill me if I do not show him his father.
According to her, the pregnancy hampered her education due to her mother’s pressure, and she was kicked out of their home after Sawo-Olu failed to appear to accept the pregnancy.
Grace stated that she drank lime to end the pregnancy, but the baby refused to be aborted.
The alleged baby mama also revealed that she sold pigs for people and received 150 Naira, which she used to support herself and the child.
Grace spoke about her relationship with Sanwo-Olu, saying they met in 1995 when she was 19 years old and the Lagos State Governor was working with a construction firm at the time in Ubogo Community in Udu Local Government Area.
Grace Moses claimed that the governor also took her to a hospital in Agbarho Community, Ughelli North Local Government Area, where she terminated the first pregnancy and had sex a few days later, resulting in another pregnancy.
Sanwo-Olu has since abandoned her and left the state, claiming that he was transferred to work in Maiduguri, Borno State.
