Mr Farouk Solihu on Tuesday, dragged Kehinde Garba before an Area Court in Centre-Igboro, Ilorin for allegedly making false allegations that he impregnated her.

Solihu told the court that Garba lied that he was responsible for her pregnancy.

According to him, “Another man got her pregnant. She reported me to the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC). She told the NSCDC that I impregnated her but I know that I did not,” he said.

In her response, Garba told the court that Solihu was responsible for her pregnancy and wants to deny paternity.

The presiding Judge, Malam AbdulQadir Umar, Garba told to prepare for proof of claims, saying that she is in the right position to shed light on the case.

Umar said that the defendant should prove that Solihu was responsible for her pregnancy through a valid document or a witness or both ways.

He adjourned the matter until March 19.
