A Nigerian soldier recently discovered that he is not the biological father of his 10-year-old son.
The heartbreaking discovery was disclosed by a medical doctor on Twitter.
The doctor explained that a boy was brought to the hospital today, Nov. 3, with few physical features of a child living with sickle cell.
A test confirmed that he has sickle cell and the boy’s father was called to present himself for a genotype test. The test result showed the father is AA.
Medically, it is impossible for a parent who has the AA genotype to birth to a child with the SS genotype.
