The juvenile court in Accra will on Wednesday, April 20, 2016 commence the hearing of a case in which a Catholic Reverend Father stands accused of being the father of a six-month-old boy whom he is alleged to have abandoned.<\/p>\n
The plaintiff, Josephine Ganyoame, 24-year-old woman, has filed a suit in court accusing Rev Fr Yves-Lucien Evaga Njana, a Cameroonian Catholic priest and diplomat based in Ghana, of neglecting responsibility towards a six month-old child he allegedly fathered.<\/p>\n
In the suit filed on April 7, the plaintiff is seeking a declaration that the respondent\u2019s irresponsibility breaches the rights of the child to a name, basic necessities of life, welfare and social protection.<\/p>\n
She is further praying the court to direct the Reverend Father to subject himself to a paternity test to determine the father of the baby, among other reliefs.<\/p>\n
The Weekend Finder newspaper reports Friday that when it contacted the Rev Father Yves-Lucien Evaga Njana, he admitted having had sexual relationship with the lady but denied being the father of the child.<\/p>\n
He claimed that he used a condom each time they had sex and could therefore not have impregnated the lady.<\/p>\n
He indicated that all efforts to get the girl to go for a paternity test have proven futile.<\/p>\n
Joshepine Ganyoname says she rejected the test because she wanted it ordered by a court so the result cannot be altered.<\/p>\n
Josephine has revealed she met Rev Father Njana one night in October 2014 when she was nearly knocked down by a car driven by the reverend minister.<\/p>\n
