Nollywood actor Rotimi Salami has shared his views on paternity, revealing that he would accept a child even if a DNA test proves the child is not biologically his.
In an interview with BBC Yoruba, Salami explained that if he has raised a child from infancy and the child already sees him as a father, he would not abandon the child because of a DNA result.

“If DNA says a child isn’t mine, and I have taken the child from infancy as mine, and the child also knows me as his father, I will wholeheartedly accept the child as mine,” he said.
He stressed that the child should not suffer for circumstances beyond their control, noting the bond formed while raising the child is something he would not walk away from.

Salami added that any issues would only be between him and his wife, not the child. “The child will claim my name forever and also see me as his father, because it’s not the child that created himself or herself. The issue will only be between me and my wife,” he concluded.
