Findings showed men who came out positive as the biological fathers of the children with questionable their paternity, accounted for 73.88 percent of tests.
The report showed that the majority of tests (89.10 percent) were conducted for ‘Peace of Mind’, followed by ‘Immigration’ (8.97 percent), and ‘Legal’ (0.64 percent).
“This suggests that individuals primarily seek DNA testing to confirm biological relationships for personal reasons rather than legal or immigration purposes.’’
A breakdown of the respondents by ethnic groups showed that the Yoruba ethnic group had the highest percentage of tests (61.23 percent), followed by Igbo (19.07 percent).
“Others (12.08 per cent), and Edo (6.78 per cent). This may be reflective of the ethnic distribution in Lagos and the surrounding areas’’.
