It was like a drama at Thinkers Corner, Enugu as the family of Professor Mike Okwudili made a shocking discovery about what happened 20 years ago.
The Okwudili family had a son 20 years ago but unknown to them, the family had a twins on that fateful day.
Twenty years ago, the wife of Professor Okwudili delivered at a hospital in Enugu, and happily they went home. Fast forward, and it’s 20 years this 2022, and what has been hidden was exposed.
How it happened
Dr. Okwudili a rector of one of the private Polytechnics in Enugu has shops attached to his house somewhere in Thinkers Corner, Enugu.
And this girl Chika (not her real name) who was a student at Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ebonyi, decided to learn sewing to keep herself busy due to the protracted ASUU strike. That was how she found herself in one of the shops rented out by Dr. Okwudili.
Reports say that neighbours started pointing out resemblance between Chika and Dr. Okwudili’s wife. Some even confronted her to query that she never told anyone she had a daughter, but she maintained her story.
As stories continued to make the rounds, Chika herself would reportedly go to the house when she is hungry and demand for food.
Over time Mrs Okwudili discovered that the girl has eye problems and decided to take her to an eye clinic.
The doctor was said to have also pointed out the resemblance between the duo. He further noted that the eye problem is exactly the same as that of her son. That Chika’s prescription for glasses is exactly that of her son.
He advised that she probe into the paternity of Chika.
Meanwhile, it was discovered that Chika’s
birthday was the same with that of their son, and that her place of birth was the same hospital in Enugu with their son.
At the end, a DNA test was conducted and it became clear that Chika was Dr. Okwudili’s daughter.
Chika’s parents were invited and they reportedly confirmed she was adopted.
However, the ‘foster parents’ have reported to the police where the case is currently being sorted out.
