Kenyan laboratory technologist and paternity testing advocate, Dr. Peter Ngumba, has shared how his relationships changed after DNA tests reportedly showed that two children he believed were his were not biologically related to him.
Speaking during an interview on the BBC Focus on Africa Podcast, Ngumba said, “The day I did DNA and found out my children were not mine was the last day I heard from them.”
According to him, the results came from separate DNA tests involving two children from different relationships. Ngumba explained that he had believed for years that he was the father of the children before the tests reportedly excluded him.
He said the discoveries left him feeling shocked, hurt, and betrayed. According to him, he believed trust had been broken and that the relationships were built on falsehood.
Following the results, he said he ended communication with the mothers of the children and also stepped away from further involvement in the situations.
Ngumba explained that after processing the emotional pain, he felt the best decision for him was to move forward with his life.
His comments have generated mixed reactions online. While some people sympathized with the emotional impact of the revelations, others raised concerns about the effect such decisions may have on children who may have known him as a father figure.
The Kenyan expert has become widely known for speaking openly about paternity testing and family disputes. His personal story has further fueled conversations about honesty, legal responsibility, and emotional bonds in parenthood.
