Former Chelsea star, and Cameroon international, Geremi Njitap, has filed for divorce after finding out that he raised twins that were never his children in 12 years of marriage.
The 45-year-old has been married to Toukam Fotso Laure Verline for over a decade.
According to The Sun UK, court documents in Geremi’s native Cameroon show Toukam “destroyed the harmony” of their marriage “through her abject behaviour.”
The court also mention her “repeated lies”, and added: “No children have been born from this union.”
Toukam had claimed the twins born in June 2008 — four years before the couple’s marriage — were his, which motivated them to get married.
“But the discovery that the children were from her previous partner destroyed the couple’s harmony,” the documents add.
The purported parternity fraud has elicited comments on social media. Here are some of the comments:
Just read the Jeremy Njitap’s paternity fraud case and all I can say is God take control. Such news could lead to depression and suicidal tendencies for that man. Played through sun and rain to put food on the table of that woman and this is what she pays him back with??

So how would you describe the case of Jeremy Njitap? Would you say he was wrong in trusting the wife or he didn’t look well before he got married to her?

Dear loving & caring divorced ladies & sing mothers,
History repeatedly teaches us to show you love & care, but stay away from any future union.
