A lady, identified as Temitope Ogunnusi, has alleged that Nigerian pop star Wande Coal impregnated her and his mother denied her access to her only child for eight years.

Miss Ogunnusi alleged that her 10-year-old son, Joseph, was only two when he was separated from her by Wande Coal’s mother who allegedly felt she was not educated enough to be the wife of their son, Oluwatobi Wande Ojosipe.

She said she was 16 when she met the music star at Jubilee Estate, Lagos State in 2008, and they instantly fell in love.

She said that trouble started when she informed Wande Coal that she was pregnant. The “Turkey nla” crooner rejected the pregnancy, adding that his career was at stake.

However, she kept the pregnancy and reported him to his colleague and close friend D’banj.

In a tell it all with the Newsmakers, Ogunnusi revealed her harrowing ordeal in the hands of the music star’s mother and said all she wanted was to be reunited with her son.

She said, “He’s the only one I’ve got.”

Read excerpts from the interview below:

“Do you want to kill my career?” he allegedly asked Temitope.

He denied paternity of the baby and left the neighbourhood so Temitope would not see him again.

Temitope said that she went ahead with the nine-month course alone, and gave birth to a bouncing baby boy.

Supported by her family and friends, she held the naming ceremony and named her son Joseph. Fortunately, the boy turned out to be a spitting image of Wande Coal.

She said D’Banj was aware. “He was close to Wande Coal, and he was the person I first complained to when the pregnancy was rejected. D’Banj was shocked. He said Wande cannot deny this.

The news of Joseph travelled round and came to the knowledge of Wande Coal and his parents. His Mother, Mrs Omolara Oluwayemisi Ojosipe, arranged to see the baby, and she was allegedly amazed at the resemblance. That was in 2010 when Joseph was just one and half years old.

Shortly after that, Wande Coal’s parents allegedly arranged for a DNA test to be done on Joseph. The result came out positive, giving them a 100 percent assurance that Joseph was actually their grandson.

Wande’s mother, however, felt that Temitope was not a good match for their son’. So, she hatched a plan.

One faithful morning, she allegedly went to the market, bought some food items which she took to Temitope’s mother. She told her that she wanted her grandson to spend some time with her. She promised to take care of him, and that Temitope could come along with the child.

Temitope’s joy knew no bounds. She was happy that her son Joseph had eventually been accepted by his father and his family. She was also happy that she would be able to see Wande Coal again after a long time.

Temitope woke up, one Saturday morning, full of expectation that she would be reunited with the father of her son. With the invitation she had received, she packed clothes that would last a few days for herself and her son.

She said she was eagerly waiting for Wande’s arrival that weekend. Then his call came, Wande’s mom was talking to him on phone. When it seemed the call would soon end, Tope moved nearer just to indicate her interest in speaking to him. Wande’s mother got up, moved to her room, dragging Joseph with him, and was saying “Speak to your son,” as she entered the room with the child. Then, she slammed the door behind her and shut Temitope out.

Temitope said that she screamed as the door hit her face and injured her nose.

Wande Coal’s mum thereafter blocked every means of communication between her son and Temitope.

Temitope said she told her: “My son cannot marry a low-class woman.”

Unknown to Temitope, there were more surprises in store for her.

She was cajoled into leaving her son with Wande’s mother, who then agreed that she could come and see the child every weekend.

It turned out that she was sold a dummy. That was the last time she saw her son.

The gateman had been instructed never to open the gate for her. She called many times, but Mrs Ojosipe would not pick her call. Whenever she used a strange number, Wande’s mom would get angry and rain curses on her, telling her to stop calling

Her plea to let her see her son fell on deaf ears. Since 2010, Wande’s mum has been in custody of Joseph.”

Wande Coal has, however, publicly admitted the paternity of the child and released his picture with him when the boy marked his birthday on June 20, 2015.
