He said it was aimed at tarnishing his hard-earned reputation.

The statement read:

“We want to state this clearly to everyone who supports Dr Adewale Ayuba, that there is absolutely no truth–not a single iota in this cooked up story."

According to Ayuba, he and his wife, Azuka Ego, have been happily married for more than three decades, and there has never been any question about the paternity of their children.

The Fuji star expressed displeasure at what he called an attempt to malign his character and ridicule his family in public.

“I will not allow my integrity to be attacked without consequences,” Ayuba stated

He confirmed that his legal team has been consulted to pursue all available remedies against the blogger behind the claims. The singer maintained that the false story was nothing more than a cheap attempt to embarrass his family and destabilize his marriage.

The Fuji singer noted that Gen Sani Abacha's government at the time had placed a bounty on his head, and his only option was to flee the country.
