Nursing Student Drags Mother To Lawson TV For Having Two Fathers
Ivy Akorful, a nursing student, has taken a bold step by bringing her mother, 40-year-old Rita Opoku, onto Lawson Afisem, a popular show on Lawson TV dedicated to resolving domestic issues. The root of their dispute centers around a long-standing mystery regarding Ivy’s biological father.
Ivy finds herself in a dilemma between two men, Uncle Ato and Yaw Obeng, and is unsure which one is her biological dad.
During the episode aired on September 8, 2026, Ivy expressed her desire for a DNA test to be conducted between the two men to clarify her paternity. She shared that although she has lived with Uncle Ato for several years, doubts have surfaced about his true relationship with her, leaving her questioning if he is indeed her biological father.
“I stayed with my father for the past ten years and I realised that the way the man was taking care of me, I wasn’t convinced. So, I told my mother and she said he is not my father,” she said.

According to Rita Opoku, she began a relationship with Uncle Ato when she was 16 years old and lived with him despite the fact that he had two other wives.
She said Uncle Ato initially provided shelter for her but later began maltreating her. It was during this period that she met Yaw Obeng, with whom she fell in love and had an affair, resulting in her pregnancy.
Rita further alleged that she and Yaw were afraid of Uncle Ato at the time and therefore decided to make him believe that he was the father of the unborn child. She said they agreed that after she gave birth, Yaw would eventually take responsibility for the child.
“When I got pregnant, the two of us agreed that we were afraid, so I told him, after I give birth, then we decide.”
Rita said she continued to keep Yaw informed about the child after her birth and that he occasionally visited her.
“So, I used to call him and update him about the child and sometimes he comes and visits her and goes,” she said.
The matter has now resurfaced on the television programme after Ivy said her mother, who had introduced Uncle Ato as her biological father since her birth, is now claiming that Yaw Obeng is her biological father.
Ivy is therefore demanding a DNA test involving Uncle Ato and Yaw Obeng to establish the truth about her paternity and determine who her biological father is.
