DNA tests showed 48 out of 103 kids my dad raised were not his – MKO Abiola’s son

The winner of the June 12, 1993 presidential election, Moshood Kashimawo Olawale (MKO) Abiola’s son Abdulmumuni Abiola, has disclosed how the family discovered paternity scams carried out by a few of the late patriarch’s widows.
The late politician’s son revealed this while speaking on several issues on the latest episode of the MIC ON Podcast with Seun Okinbaloye.
According to Abdulmumuni, though the record on MKO’s will showed that he had 40 wives, some of his partners were not captured in the legal document.
Contrary to popular belief that the late politician fathered over 100 children, Abdulmumuni said the Abiola family is smaller than speculated.
He said that even though his father was paying school fees for 103 children while he was alive, blood tests conducted after his death revealed that only 55 were his biological children.
“You know, the Abiola family, we are not that much because people think we’re a lot. We are only 55.They were 40 wives, according to the will, but I think they were something like 40. I think there are some wives that were not there at the end, but there were 40 wives.
“Most of the wives had maybe one or two for my dad, not everyone… so when my father was alive, he was paying for 103 children to go to school, but like I said, not all of them were his, so after the blood test, we happened to be 55, which is actually a manageable number if you’re in a country of 220 million people.
