‘Give Me My GH¢150,000’ – Man Demands Compensation After DNA Shows Child Isn’t His

According to Riddims Ghana Network on Friday, October 30, 2026, a Ghanaian man identified as Sly has demanded GH¢150,000 in compensation from his former girlfriend and the biological father of a child he had been raising after a DNA test reportedly established that he was not the child’s biological father.

The young man brought the matter before Lawson TV, a relationship programme that discusses issues surrounding relationships, marriage and family life. During the discussion, he explained that he had spent a substantial amount of money taking care of his former girlfriend during her pregnancy and supporting the child after birth.

According to Sly, the DNA test had provided the answer to questions about the child’s paternity. Although he said he accepted the result, he insisted that he should be compensated for the financial responsibilities he had undertaken over the period.

He claimed that his total expenditure on Esther and the child amounted to GH¢150,000. He therefore demanded that the biological father and his family refund the money, saying he would no longer pursue the matter once the payment was made.

In the footage shared from the programme, Sly made it clear that he wanted the issue settled through the people involved rather than taking it elsewhere.

He reportedly told Esther and the biological father that the DNA result had confirmed the child was not his and that the money he had spent should be returned.

However, Esther strongly disagreed with the amount being demanded. She questioned how Sly could have spent GH¢150,000 on her and the child, suggesting that his financial claim was exaggerated.

Her response created further disagreement during the discussion, as the two former partners appeared to have different accounts of the financial support provided throughout the relationship.

The case has attracted attention on social media, particularly because of the amount involved and the circumstances surrounding the DNA test. It has also renewed conversations about trust, paternity and financial responsibilities in relationships.

While Sly maintains that he deserves to recover the money he claims to have spent, Esther disputes the figure. The biological father’s position was not clearly established in the available footage.

At the centre of the disagreement is a demand for GH¢150,000, with the former boyfriend insisting that he should not be left to bear the financial burden after discovering that the child he had been raising was not biologically his.

However, the amount remains a claim made by Sly, and there is no independent confirmation in the report that he spent the full GH¢150,000 or that the other parties have agreed to repay him.
