Sunny Ade To Meet Alleged Daughter

According to Sahara Reporters, the veteran musician has agreed to a one-on-one meeting with his alleged 52-year-old daughter.

The singer’s lawyer, Donald Ajibola, who confirmed the development said a meeting would be set up with Ayeni and Sunny Ade, during his spare time.

He said: “I contacted Ayeni some days back and told her that I had spoken with Sunny Ade. What I told her was that I spoke with him and he agreed to meet her.

“The only thing is that he is too busy and cannot meet her now. It was even difficult for me to meet him. When he has time, he will meet with her.”

Confirming the meeting, Ayeni said she intended to conduct a DNA test to confirm her paternity and get a sense of identity.
