Comedian Jemutai Chibambe has finally put to rest the paternity dispute with fellow comedian Professor Hamo, after DNA results confirmed that Hamo is the father of their two children.
According to Jemutai, the DNA results, which were released on Tuesday, May 11, 2021, showed a 99.9% match between Hamo and the children.
"DNA results are out. 99.9%," Jemutai shared on social media.
However, the paternity dispute was not without its drama. Jemutai had accused Hamo of neglecting their two children, forcing her to seek help on social media. She even went as far as selling her Facebook account for Ksh1.7 million to clear debts and purchase household commodities.
But Hamo denied the allegations, stating that his wife was tasked with sending upkeep money to Jemutai and their children. He also denied absconding from his fatherly duties.
"I have children who live with me and others who don't live with me. I have been providing for my children from day one and there's no day they went without food or shelter or anything they need," Hamo said.
However, Jemutai alleged that Hamo only offered Ksh9,000 and rarely visited their two children.
It was only after Daniel Ndambuki's (Churchill) intervention that the two comedians were able to resolve their issue amicably. Churchill set up a meeting and mediated between the two, and after solving their issue, Jemutai disclosed that Hamo demanded a DNA test to be conducted on the two children.
"Yes, Hamo, his brother and I were at a restaurant on Wednesday (May 6). We met Churchill and a few guys on Monday, May 4 to sort out issues. We are still finding solutions to the matter. At the meeting, he (Hamo) agreed to pay for the school fees which I paid. The DNA will be out in a fortnight," Jemutai disclosed, adding that they conducted the test at Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI).
