A recent report by Smart DNA has unveiled a startling revelation: 27% of Africa men tested in countries like Nigeria and Zimbabwe are not the biological fathers of the children in question.
The comprehensive 2024 report, covering July 2023 to June 2024, highlights intriguing trends in DNA testing across Africa.
The African-based DNA testing centre reported a significant rise in paternity tests showing negative results, suggesting that over one in four tested men are not the biological parents of the children they believed to be theirs.
Notably, the report also highlights a surge in DNA tests for immigration purposes.
