A young woman named Lawrencia has been left heartbroken and confused after a DNA test revealed that the man she believed was responsible for her pregnancy is not the father of her child. The emotional saga unfolded on the popular Lawson Afisem radio show in Kumasi, hosted by Maame Frimpomaa Korankye, known as MFK.
Lawrencia’s tearful admission that she does not know who got her pregnant has gripped listeners, sparked heated discussions across Ghana, and raised serious questions about trust, relationships, and the challenges young women face in vulnerable situations.
The story began when Lawrencia, accompanied by her mother, appeared on Lawson Afisem, a well-known programme on Lawson FM that tackles personal and social issues. The young mother had accused a man of impregnating her after an encounter in an uncompleted building in Kumasi. She and her mother were convinced he was the father and brought him to the show to demand accountability.
The man, however, strongly denied any involvement, insisting he had never been intimate with Lawrencia. To resolve the dispute, the show’s team arranged for a DNA test, a common practice in such cases to confirm paternity and bring clarity to emotional conflicts.
When the DNA results were announced on air, the studio fell silent. The test showed that the man Lawrencia accused was not the father of her child. The young mother broke down in tears, her face wet with emotion as she struggled to make sense of the shocking revelation.
When MFK, known for her caring yet firm approach, asked Lawrencia who else could be responsible, she sobbed, “I don’t know the man who slept with me and got me pregnant.” Her words, filled with pain and confusion, touched the hearts of listeners, many of whom took to social media to express sympathy, while others debated the circumstances surrounding her story.
As the show continued, MFK and others in the studio gently pressed Lawrencia for more details. After some hesitation, she mentioned another possible suspect—a man named Paul, who she said was a friend of the person she initially accused.
According to Lawrencia, Paul had also been intimate with her around the same time the incident occurred in the uncompleted building. With the first suspect cleared by the DNA test, Lawrencia now believes Paul might be the father.
However, her hopes of confronting him were quickly crushed by a troubling update: Paul and his family are no longer in Kumasi. Reports suggest they left the city even before Lawrencia’s pregnancy became a public issue, leaving her with no way to track him down or confirm his involvement.
The Lawson Afisem show has become a household name in Kumasi and beyond, offering a platform for people to resolve personal disputes, from paternity issues to family conflicts. MFK, a former mentee of Oyerepa FM’s Auntie Naa, has earned praise for her ability to handle sensitive topics with empathy while seeking the truth.
In Lawrencia’s case, her compassionate yet direct questioning led to the young mother’s emotional confession, which has since gone viral. The story has sparked a wave of reactions, with some listeners expressing deep sympathy for Lawrencia’s plight, while others have questioned how she could be unsure of the identity of the man who impregnated her.
The incident has also highlighted the dangers young women face in unsafe environments, such as uncompleted buildings, which are often used for illicit activities in urban areas like Kumasi.
Lawrencia’s ordeal has opened up broader conversations about the challenges young women face in navigating relationships and the societal pressures that can leave them vulnerable. Many have pointed out that her story reflects deeper issues, including a lack of education about sexual health and the risks of casual encounters in unsafe settings.
The fact that Paul, the new suspect, is currently untraceable has added to Lawrencia’s distress, leaving her to face the reality of raising her child alone without knowing the father’s identity. Her tearful appearance on Lawson Afisem has resonated with many, who see her as a young woman caught in a difficult and heartbreaking situation.
The case has drawn comparisons to other high-profile paternity disputes aired on similar radio and TV programmes across Ghana. Shows like Lawson Afisem and Oyerepa Afutuo have become popular for addressing real-life issues, offering a public space for accountability but also exposing deeply personal matters to public scrutiny.
While some viewers appreciate the closure these programmes provide, others argue that they can sometimes amplify personal pain for the sake of ratings. In Lawrencia’s case, the public nature of her story has led to mixed reactions, with some calling for greater sensitivity in how such cases are handled on air.
As Lawrencia’s story spreads, community leaders and social activists in Kumasi have called for support for the young mother. They have urged the public to avoid judging her and instead offer help, whether through emotional support, counselling, or practical assistance.
Raising a child as a single mother is already a daunting task, and Lawrencia’s uncertainty about her baby’s father adds an extra layer of emotional and financial strain. Social workers have also stressed the need for better resources for young women in similar situations, including access to sexual health education, legal aid, and mental health support to help them navigate such challenges.
The Lawson Afisem team has promised to follow up on Lawrencia’s case, with MFK expressing her commitment to helping the young mother find answers. Efforts to locate Paul or his family are ongoing, but with their whereabouts unknown, the path to resolution remains unclear.
For now, Lawrencia’s tearful confession on air serves as a powerful reminder of the complexities of personal relationships and the emotional toll of uncertainty.
