Laide Bakare replies critics: ‘I know the father of my baby’

AFTER weeks of keeping mum, actress Laide Bakare has decided to open up on the paternity issue surrounding the birth of her new baby. The actress in a statement made available by her publicist stated emphatically that she knows the father of her child.

It would be recalled that shortly after news of her delivery hit town three weeks ago, her estranged husband, Olumide Okunfulire claimed that the new baby belongs to him and went further to demand a DNA test on the baby.

“This is just to disabuse the minds of skeptics, as a first step. Nollywood actress, Laide Bakare, was duly married to businessman, Mr. Tunde Oriowo, aka ATM. These are pictures from the Nikkah ceremony that was held quietly in Lagos. Also, as the pictures speak, Laide Bakare was carrying Mr. Oriowo’s baby at the time. For the nine months that she was pregnant, during which the Muslim wedding was held, Laide was under the watch and care of no other man but Mr. Oriowo who played well his roles as husband and father. Therefore, there is no mistaking who the father of her newborn is,” the statement reads.
