SAN FRANCISCO, August 28, (THEWILL) – Former Kogi State First Lady, Hajiya Aisha Audu has reacted to reports of a purported Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) testing done by her estranged husband and former Kogi State Governor, Prince Abubakar Audu, saying the politician played a fast one at the testing facility where the testing was done.

Recall that last week, Prince Audu had orchestrated series of media propaganda with the circulation of the result of the DNA testing ordered by a Montgomery Circuit Court in the State of Maryland, United States of America, to establish the true paternity of the last child of Hajiya Aisha, delivered about a year ago. The DNA result showed that the former Governor is not the natural father of the baby girl christened Ramata, born on July 04, 2010, in the state of Maryland.

Speaking to THEWILL on Saturday from her Maryland, Mrs. Audu said her legal counsel, David Koteling has filed a protest at the Maryland Court to challenge the result of the test, alleging foul play and accused the former governor of manipulation. She alleged that there was no one present to protect her interest on the day of the testing, to ensure that it was indeed the ‘real Abubakar Audu’ that submitted himself for testing.

When we pressed why she did not have representation at the DNA testing facility on the day Audu purportedly submitted himself, she said the former Governor changed the initial date set for the testing and only informed her lawyer of the new date when he knew it would be almost impossible for anyone from her side to be present at the facility.

Hajiya Audu further added that her decision to protest and request for a court supervised DNA testing was because Abubakar Audu had at various times during the series of legal fireworks between them in their messy divorce suits tendered to the court various allegedly forged documents obtained from Nigeria in order to convince the judge that they were never married.

“Audu has a history of treating the women he once married in this particular way. He accuses them of adultery, then strips them of whatever they may have acquired over the years and abandon them and their kids. It is not going to happen with my children and me. I was faithful to him while we were married and bore him three beautiful kids. He is trying to run away from his responsibilities as a father, but thank goodness that this is America. His pranks will not fly here, when he finishes with his media propaganda, he will still provide for me and my children because I know that he were legally married and have three kids between us,” Hajiya Audu stated.

THEWILL had some months ago extensively reported how Prince Abubakar Audu evicted his family from their Potomac Mansion and abandoned them without any financial assistance whatsoever following the break down of their marriage.

Also recall that Prince Audu, who is presently free on bail, is being tried by Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) following his alleged mismanagement and theft of millions of Kogi State government funds during his tenure as governor of the state.

THEWILL has however obtained a Montgomery Circuit court judgement made on May 11, 2011, in Hajiya Audu’s favour ordering Alhaji Abubakar Audu to pay monthly child support in the sum of $3, 972 to their two Nigerian born kids—Abubakar Audu Jnr., born July 31, 2001 and Shazali Abubakar, born November 10 2002. An order was also made that Abubakar Audu pay $43, 626 to Hajiya Aisha being arrears owed for child support for the upkeep of the two kids.

“ORDERED, that Defendant, Prince Abubakar Audu, shall pay unto Plaintiff, Aisha Audu, commencing on July 1, 2010 and on the first 1st) day of each month thereafter, the sum of Three Thousand Nine Hundred Seventy Two Dollars ($3972.00) as and for pendente lite child support of two Minor Children, Abubakar Audu, Jr., born July 3 L 2011, and Shazali Audu, born November 10, 2002; and it is further

“ORDERED, that an immediate child support arrearage of Forty Three Thousand Six Hundred Ninety Two Dollars ($43,692.00) is found through May 30, 2011.”

The Circuit Court also increased the child support to $4, 713 monthly and $51, 183 in arrears if indeed the DNA testing determines that Audu is the natural father of American born Ramata.

“ORDERED, that at such time that Defendant is determined or stipulated to natural father of the Minor Child, Ramata Audu, born July 4, 2010, Defendant shall instead pay to Plaintiff commencing on July 1, 2010 and on the first 1st day of each month thereafter, the sum of Four Thousand Seven Hundred and Thirteen Dollars ($4713.00) as and for pendente lite child support of the three Minor Children; and it is further

“ORDERED, that upon determination that Defendant is the natural father of the Minor Child, Ramata Audu, an immediate child support arrearage of Fifty One Thousand Eight Hundred Forty Three Dollars ($51,843.00) is found through May 30, 2011;”

However, the former Governor is already in contempt of the court’s directive and Hajiya Aisha through her lawyer David P. Koterling has filed a petition asking the court to commit Prince Audu to prison for disregarding its ruling.

Hearing on the Audu Vs. Audu matter continues on September 08, 2011.
