Nigerian actor, Rotimi Salami has brought fire on the internet as he makes a huge case for paternity fraud.
With the ongoing news of men finding out at last minutes that their kids aren’t theirs biologically,many men are getting interested in DNA, especially in Nigeria.
In a post on his Instagram page, he confessed that paternity fraud should be placed illegally as rape. He compared the pain and trauma a woman experiences when raped to that of a man when he get’s the knowledge that the child he has been nurturing belongs to another man.
Emphasizing on it, he stated how rape is a major offense and wants paternity fraud to be equalled as same too.
“Paternity fraud should be criminalized just like rape. The experience when raped is the same a man goes through when he finds out he’s been raising another man’s child. Damn!
Rape is a major offense
Paternity fraud should also be
None of these 2 should be encouraged
men mental health too matters”.
His statement comparing rape with paternity fraud sound pleasing with some netizens who attacked him via his comment section.
One Just Phabulous wrote, “Comparing rape and paternity fraud is an all-time low. Getting gang raped and violated is not the same. This is a wrong comparison and a slap on the face of all rape victims. Of all the things you picked rape. Come on Rotimi, you are a girl dad
