The
paternity controversy between Nigerian music star and entertainer, P-2 (real
name Paul Okoye), and a beauty pageant contestant and model, Elshamah Igbanoi,
has taken a new twist. SaharaReporters first broke the news that Ms. Elshamah
was stuck in London over unpaid maternity bills after giving birth to a baby
boy she said was fathered by Paul.
A close
relative of Mr. Okoye’s has contacted SaharaReporters and asserted that the
baby born by Ms. Elshamah Igbanoi, a former Miss Plateau State, is in fact the
musician-entertainer’s first child. A few weeks ago, P-Square had thrown a
party in Atlanta, Georgia to welcome another baby born by a different lover of
his.
Our
initial report about the musician’s paternity dispute with the former Miss
Plateau went viral. However, Mr. Paul Okoye has kept mum, even though some
blogs reported that his public relations claimed that the paternity report was
a “hoax” and even an “April Fools’ joke.”
