Veteran Juju singer, Sir Shina Peters has reacted to allegations concerning the birth of a son years ago by nollywood actress, late Funmi Martins.

Shina is rumoured to have abandoned his alleged son over the years.

Funmi Martins, who died in 2002 is also the mother of popular actress, Mide Martins, and wife to her colleague, Afeez Owo.

The baby boy who was left in Mide’s care has been rumoured to be abandoned by her and the father of the son, Shina Peters.

Recently, a blogger named Gist Lover made allegations that Mide and Peters had abandoned Damilare, who is now 19 years old.

However, in a video made by the juju musician, he stated that he is making plans to have a good relationship with Damilare and his guardian, Baba Deji.

The Juju musician who was recently ordained as bishop of Cherubim and Seraphim didn’t mention anything about the claim that he is the real father of the son.

He said, “I would like to thank all Nigerians in the Diaspora. I will be turning 64, so I should know the right thing to do. On the issue of Oluwadamilare, from the beginning, there were a lot of controversies, but as an elderly person, I don’t want to discuss that.

“I have put it behind me. My concern now is how we are going to take good care of Damilare. In the past, I had sent my driver to Abeokuta Ogun State) several times but they did not allow my driver to see him.

“When Damilare’s guardian, Baba Deji, called me, I was not in the country. I told him I would call him when I got back. In the process of waiting for me, this story came out.”

Peters has also begged people to desist from the act of fundraising for the boy. He added, “I heard there are plans to raise money for Damilare.

“I don’t want people to use the poor boy to siphon money. He is not a beggar and I do not want people to make him one. From now, I want to take charge of him. I would be fully responsible for him. Me, Damilare, Baba Deji, and the senior Martins have been speaking on phone.

“We have fixed a meeting in hopes that everything would be fine. I am a Godly person and I have trained so many children and they are doing very fine, financially.

“I love children and I’m passionate about them. I once sang a song about the essence of children. Now that Damilare knows where to reach me, he can come to me as a father and discuss his problems with me.

“We can have a proper father and son relationship. Even if he is interested in the entertainment industry, he has to have good education.”
