Human rights activist Deji Adeyanju has called for mandatory DNA testing before issuing birth certificates to newborns in Nigeria, aiming to combat the rising issue of paternity fraud.
In a post on X, Adeyanju urged the National Assembly to pass legislation enforcing the measure, sparking widespread support among Nigerians who view paternity fraud as a growing concern.
Adeyanju’s proposal has ignited public debate, with many on social media endorsing the idea, citing increasing cases of misattributed paternity.
The activist emphasized that such a law would ensure transparency and protect families.
The National Assembly is yet to comment on the suggestion, but the call has gained traction as a potential solution to a sensitive social issue in Nigeria.
