“As of now, the baby has been reunited with the mother, but I insist that a DNA test be conducted to confirm that the child is indeed ours and not someone else’s.”

"We have to have it done because I am uncertain about what is going on. We need to conduct a DNA test to prove that the child is indeed ours. You cannot simply present any child to us and say, ‘This is him, we have found him, take him and go home."

“What if, in the next 10 years, we want to travel abroad with the child and tests are conducted, only for the results not to match? That is why we need to carry out a DNA test now.”

His comments have since attracted a lot of approval from the general public.
