Former national youth star, Nii Odartey Lamptey has disclosed that he felt unbearable pain after a DNA test confirmed rumors that three children he raised with his ex-wife for 21 years were not his biological children.
Recounting the harrowing experience that put an end to his 21-year marriage to his now ex-wife Gloria Lamptey, the former Aston Villa starlet said he had to come up with a ruse to obtain a DNA sample from the three children without raising suspicion.
“I thought I was the father but upon rumors that they are not my kids, they said I have to do DNA,” he said in an interview with TV3. He added:”My lawyer showed me where they do the DNA, I got to know that yes, the kids are not mine.”
He revealed that before performing the DNA tests, he visited a medical facility and informed them about his concerns without the knowledge of his ex-wife.
“I know, It was a difficult situation, I was very close with the children and for me to be able to do this, I told them I have an infection in my throat and upon doctors advise, I should be able to cure theirs now otherwise when they grow, they will have problems.”
He said he visited the school of the three girls with a doctor who collected the samples.
The former Anderlecht man said the test for himself and the three children cost him over GH¢ 4,000.00.
“At that short period, you finding out that, they are not yours anymore… I don’t know the kind of pain any human being can go through more than that,” he said.
However, Lamptey said he has found happiness after remarrying and fathering two girls.
