A Delta State High Court judge, Anthony Okorodas, says he recently discovered that the three children he had with his first wife are not his.
Okorodas said in a statement that he made the discovery after he had sponsored two of them to university while the third one was already 17 years old.
The judge said he discovered this after the three children were subjected to DNA tests.
Okorodas, who described the discovery as devastating, said he and his current wife had been responsible for the education of the three children, two of whom are university undergraduates, since their mother left the marriage 11 years ago.
