The son of late Chief Moshood “MKO” Abiola, Abdul Mumuni MKO Abiola, has spoken about how DNA tests were conducted to ascertain the actual number of children his dad had.
He pointed out that, upon completion of the DNA testing, it was determined that only fifty-five of them belonged to MKO Abiola.
He said; “DNA tests confirmed only 55 as his biological offspring. You know the Abiola family, we are not that much. People think we are a lot. We are only 55. Well, there were 40 wives. Then according to the will, I think about forty-something though.
“There were some wives that were not there at the end. Most of the wives had maybe one or two for my dad. Not every one of them.
“When my father was alive, he was paying for 103 people to go to school. But like I said not all of them were his. So after the blood tests, we happen to be 55.”
