The paternity imbroglio between Nigerian music star and entertainer, Paul Okoye and the beauty pageant contestant and model, Elshamah Igbanoi, has taken another dimension. A close relative of Mr. Okoye has revealed that the baby born by Ms. Elshamah Igbanoi, a former Miss Plateau State, is in fact the musician's first child. A few weeks ago, P-Square had thrown a party in Atlanta, Georgia to welcome another baby born by a different lover of his.
However, Mr. Paul Okoye has kept mute. A source who regaled of the goings in the household said the music artist was aware of Ms. Igbanoi's pregnancy for him about the same time another lady, Anita, became pregnant for him. The source disclosed that the baby born in London is in fact Mr. Okoye's first son, since he was born on April 7, 2013, three days before Anita delivered another of his baby in Atlanta on April 10, 2013.
However, while Paul was in Atlanta to announce the birth of Anita's son, he abandoned Ms. Igbanoi to her fate in the UK. In the earlier report, the beauty pageant contestant's hospital bills of more than 5000 pounds sterling were yet to be paid.

"We know her to be a responsible lady who trusted Paul," said the source. He added: "She had been with him since she was 17 years old." Ms. Igbanoi is now 19 years old and third year law student at the University of Jos.
