“Let Him Test, Then Sue” – Lawyer Shares Advice for Wives Facing DNA Demands

• A lawyer has gone viral after advising women whose husbands demand DNA tests. She recommends allowing the test but filing a civil claim for breach of trust and seeking ₦100 million if paternity is confirmed.

A Nigerian lawyer has gone viral after sharing bold legal advice for women whose husbands demand DNA tests on their children.

According to her, women should allow the test to proceed but take legal action if the results confirm paternity. She wrote:

“If your husband threatens DNA tests on your children and you know they are his. Let him do it. Once it comes out positive, go straight to a lawyer. File a civil claim for breach of trust and ask for ₦100 million compensation. Marriage is not a testing ground for suspicion. Let him test. Let him confirm. But don’t let him get away with breaking your trust. Case closed. No room for appeal.”

Her advice has sparked widespread discussion online, with many praising her for empowering women to assert their rights while maintaining dignity in challenging situations.

In other news… A Nigerian-born nurse, Chimzuruoke Okembunachi, has had her nursing licence revoked in Australia after a tribunal found she repeatedly fell asleep during night shifts at an aged care facility, putting elderly residents at risk.

The NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal ruled on January 20 that her actions in March 2024 amounted to professional misconduct, leading to the cancellation of her registration.

Okembunachi, 25, had been the only registered nurse on duty during several night shifts at Hardi Aged Care in Guildford, western Sydney, overseeing about 100 residents with the support of assistants-in-nursing.

The tribunal heard that on six nights she slept on duty, resulting in missed medication, including morphine on three occasions. In one instance, she allegedly instructed an unauthorised assistant to administer Panadol to a patient.

Although the tribunal acknowledged her remorse, it ruled that deregistration was necessary, stating her conduct had the potential to endanger patients’ lives. She is barred from applying for a review for at least nine months.
