A storm of emotion swept through the Obra Show on Nhyira FM, simulcast on Adom TV, when Mary Boamah appeared before host Ohemaa Benewa with two painful complaints against the father of her children.
Her voice shook, but her message was clear: she wants answers.
Mary revealed that before the birth of her twins, she and her husband already had three children together. However, she alleges that the man gradually stopped taking responsibility for them.
“He has not been taking care of the three children we had before the twins,” she told the panel.
According to her, financial support became irregular and eventually stopped. She said she was left to shoulder the burden alone — food, school needs, and daily care.
The panel immediately raised a critical question: if a man has concerns about paternity, does that justify neglecting children he previously acknowledged and raised?
Mary’s second and more controversial complaint centers on the twins.
She claims her husband accused her of infidelity during her pregnancy and insisted the twins were not his. Yet, according to her, he has never provided any clear reason for his suspicion.
“He says the twins are not his, but he has not told me why,” she said tearfully.
Mary further alleged that her husband rented a new apartment and moved in with another woman while she was pregnant. She says he refused to support her throughout the pregnancy and has not taken responsibility for the twins since their birth nearly two years ago.
“He left me alone when I was carrying the pregnancy,” she claimed.
Panelist Lady Gold expressed concern: “Pregnancy is a vulnerable period. If you doubt paternity, there are lawful ways to address it. Abandonment is not one of them.”
The Shock: Children Taken Without Consent
Just when Mary thought the situation could not get worse, she says it did.
According to her, in her absence, her husband and his new partner allegedly went to her room and took three of the children away without informing her.
“I came back and my children were gone,” she cried. “He did not tell me. He did not ask me.”
This development has deepened the controversy.
Host Ohemaa Benewa did not hold back: “If you say the twins are not yours, what is your evidence? And if you stopped caring for the older children, on what moral grounds do you now take them away?”
Evangelist de Graph Addai added: “Parenthood is not based on suspicion. If there is doubt, science can settle it. But abandoning responsibility creates deeper wounds.”
Meanwhile, Big Mama (Gifty Donkor) focused on the children’s welfare: “This is not about ego. It is about innocent children caught in adult conflict.”
Mary insists she is not refusing accountability. She says if her husband truly doubts the twins’ paternity, he should state his reasons openly and pursue proper verification instead of accusations and abandonment.
“I just want him to explain why he says the twins are not his,” she pleaded.
She is now seeking intervention, not only for clarity on the paternity issue but also for the safe and lawful handling of the children.
Ohemaa Benewa emphasized the seriousness of the allegations: “When trust breaks in a marriage, children must not become weapons. If there is doubt, there are lawful and scientific solutions. But silence, abandonment, and sudden actions only deepen suspicion.”
As the story continues to unfold, one thing is certain: five children now stand at the center of a bitter marital dispute, and the public is demanding answers just as much as their mother.
The case remains one-sided pending response from the husband.
