The widow of the former National Democratic Congress (NDC) Obuasi East parliamentary candidate has been dragged to court by his family over her alleged refusal to submit to a paternity test for their daughter.
Salami, who is based in the United States, reportedly refused to bring her daughter to undergo the test on two separate occasions, which the family claims left them with no choice but to head to court.
According to the Aboagye family, Samuel, who died in the helicopter crash on August 6, 2025, suspected that his daughter with his wife was the child of another man before he died.
The Obuasi District Court held its first hearing in the case on November 11 and subsequently adjourned proceedings to December 23.
