In a striking development, a DNA test result has reportedly confirmed that the late former official Samuel Aboagye is the biological father of his widow Abigail Salami’s infant daughter. The long-running dispute over paternity has now reached what appears to be a decisive moment.
The case first emerged when Aboagye’s family initiated legal proceedings, urging Salami to submit the child for DNA testing to determine parentage. In their filing, the family argued that the child’s status, inheritance rights and family responsibilities hinged on a clear biological link.
According to multiple social-media posts circulating late Friday, the DNA test was carried out at a certified laboratory and the result has been delivered to both parties. While the family has yet to release a formal statement, the post claims that the deceased Aboagye is confirmed as the father.
If the result is legally certified and recognized by the Ghanaian courts, this confirmation could carry substantial implications for inheritance issues and guardianship under Ghanaian family law. Experts note that paternity recognition post-humously is complex and often requires court endorsement to become legally binding.
Despite the widespread sharing of the claim, there is still no independently verified source from major Ghanaian news outlets confirming official certification of the test or publication of court documents. Observers have called for restraint until the certified test results and court rulings are published.
For now, the story remains at the “reported but not yet legally verified” stage. Aboagye’s family and Abigail Salami’s legal team may soon provide formal statements or court filings that will clarify and confirm the situation.
