Veteran Nollywood actor, Pa Charles Olumo popularly known as Agbako has further complicated the ‘paternity’ controversy presently being faced by popular fuji musician, Wasiu Alabi Pasuma.
Baba Agbako, whose real name is Abdulsalam Ishola Sanyaolu said he does not know whether he is the real father of the musician or not.
The actor made the submission while featuring on a live Radio Show anchored by Adesina Okikiola on Fresh 105.5fm, Ibadan, the capital city of Oyo State on Wednesday afternoon.
Monitored by PMParrot, the Radio Show saw the actor making more revelations concerning Pasuma’s late mother, Alhaja Adijatu Kubura.
When asked directly how this situation came to be, the actor initially did not want to comment.
After being probed further, he said in Yoruba language: “I really do not like talking about this. However, I will make it known here that Adijatu Kuburat’s very first child was mine and I named him Segun. However, the child did not live beyond a week before he died. I earlier met her at Abule Ogan in Ifo, Ogun State when we went for a performance.
Affairs With My Manager
“After that, things became not too rosy for me and she left me briefly to be with my manager – that is the man that is now being publicly posted to be Pasuma’s father.
“I will also say it here that Adijatu Kuburat did not exactly leave me because she still used to come to me to fraternize and frolic. It was during this period that she conceived and gave birth to Wasiu Alabi.”
So, “will you then say Pasuma is your son”, the Anchor of the Radio Show asked him.
Charles Olumo responded: “Well, I cannot say, it is only God that can say. I cannot say whether I am his father or not.”
It was at this point he was asked if he ever carried out a DNA test to confirm Pasuma’s paternity and he said ‘no’.
Baba Agbako was also asked if he ever discussed this issue of Pasuma’s paternity with Adijatu Kuburat, he said yes and that he told her that he is the musician’s father.
The actor was equally asked whether he had at any time broached the topic of his relationship with Pasuma.
His response: Yes, that was when he played active role during my 90th birthday. He said he was happy that he came from a reputable family.”
Baba Agbako, who turned 100 in April, 2023 has produced many movies and other stage productions.
