The 48 year legal tussle over the paternity of Jack Musa Gowon, the love
child of former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, has ended with
Gowon accepting that he is Musa’s father after a DNA test confirmed
this.
Musa who recently returned to Nigeria after spending 20 years in an
American prison, is the love child born from a secret affair Gowon had
with late Edith Ike-Okongwu.
In a statement he personally signed and released yesterday March 9th, General Gowon said,
“Following years of doubts and speculation, a DNA test was recently
conducted to ascertain the paternity of Musa Gowon who recently returned
to the country. The results of the tests were conclusive and they
confirm his paternity.
We, the family, are working to assist in his
rehabilitation following a very difficult period in his life. As we
look forward to the future with faith in God, we request that our
privacy be respected. Thank you"
Musa and his late mother have been in a long legal battle with Gowon who
refused to accept him as his son. He was born to Miss Edith Ike during
the Nigeria Civil War in 1968, when Gowon was Head of the Federal
Military Government and Commander-in-Chief of the federal forces.
Edith who later remarried, died of cancer several years ago.
