Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has ignited a heated debate on social media with his recent remarks advocating for DNA testing in paternity cases.
On February 21, 2025, Edochie asserted, “Any woman who refuses to do DNA test on her child when it is demanded is hiding something. Don’t fall for any excuse she gives to you. A clear conscience fears nothing.”
This statement has drawn mixed reactions, with many referencing Edochie’s personal experiences. In April 2023, reports surfaced alleging that a DNA test revealed Edochie was not the biological father of his son with actress Judy Austin. These claims were highlighted by investigative journalist Kemi Olunloyo, who stated, “I just heard that DNA tests revealed that Judy Austin’s son was not fathered by Yul Edochie.”
Following these allegations, Edochie removed posts related to Judy Austin and their son from his Instagram account, including the announcement of their marriage and the birth of their child. This action led to widespread speculation, with netizens commenting, “DNA result don land.”
Edochie’s recent comments have reignited discussions about trust, fidelity, and the role of paternity verification in relationships. While some support his viewpoint, others criticize it, suggesting that such demands can undermine trust and cause emotional distress.
As the conversation continues, it underscores the complex dynamics of personal relationships and the importance of transparency in fostering trust.
