Man commits Suicide after DNA Test indicates 4 Children Not His

A Ghanaian man living in Copenhagen, Denmark, identified as Benjamin Offei, has reportedly committed suicide after discovering through DNA paternity testing that the four children he had raised for nearly 20 years were not biologically his.

According to reports shared by friends and amplified by Ghanaian media platforms, Offei had been in a long-term relationship with his Ghanaian wife for about 19 years, including nearly a decade of marriage.

During this period, the couple had four children whom Offei reportedly raised as his own.

Sources close to the family disclosed that Offei initiated the DNA tests, the results of which allegedly confirmed that none of the children were biologically linked to him.

The revelation is said to have caused severe emotional distress.

News of his death began circulating online in early February 2026, with reports indicating that the incident occurred at his residence in Copenhagen.

Danish authorities are said to be treating the case as a suicide, although no official police statement had been released as of the time of filing this report.

The tragic incident has sparked widespread reactions across social media, particularly within the Ghanaian diaspora, with renewed conversations around paternity fraud, marital trust, mental health challenges, and the psychological pressures faced by men in family-related crises.

Many commentators have expressed sympathy for Offei’s family while calling for stronger mental health awareness and access to counselling services for individuals dealing with traumatic personal discoveries.

Further official details surrounding the incident remain unavailable.
