Ciggie Johnson Reveals DNA Test Shows He Is Not Biological Father of Girl He Raised for 12 Years

Kenyan club host and content creator Ciggie Johnson, whose real name is Ciggie Okebiro, has found himself at the centre of a widely discussed paternity story after revealing that a DNA test allegedly showed he is not the biological father of the 12-year-old girl he has raised since birth.

The revelation emerged on Saturday, October 3, 2026, after Ciggie shared a video of a phone conversation with the child’s mother in which they discussed the DNA results.

The development has since attracted reactions from several Kenyan public figures, with much of the discussion focusing on the child’s emotional wellbeing and whether the paternity dispute should have been made public.

Ciggie confronts DNA results

In the video, Ciggie asked the child’s mother what the DNA test had established.

She reportedly told him that he had been “excluded as the biological father”.

Ciggie then sought to clarify the meaning of the statement, saying:

“Stop complicated English. DNA says I am not the father.”

The mother reportedly expressed surprise at the results, saying she had expected the test to confirm that Ciggie was the child’s biological father.

The conversation also revealed that Ciggie wanted to obtain a copy of the DNA report so that he could personally review the findings.

Ciggie says he raised the child for 12 years

During the conversation, Ciggie said he had been responsible for the child’s upbringing since her birth.

He claimed to have paid expenses including rent, school fees and other costs over the past 12 years.

He also said he had initially declined to pay for the DNA test, asking the child’s mother to cover the cost while promising to reimburse her if the results confirmed his paternity.

According to Ciggie, he had also previously faced disputes with the child’s mother, including claims that she had reported him to the police and children’s officers.

He questioned whether she knew the identity of the child’s biological father and insisted that he wanted the truth established.

Ciggie also said he wanted the child to eventually be informed about the results. According to the conversation he shared, the mother agreed to tell her after school that day.

Public figures react

The revelation quickly generated debate, with several Kenyan personalities weighing in on the situation.

Comedian Terence Creative urged Ciggie not to abandon the child despite the DNA results. He argued that the girl had grown up knowing Ciggie as her father and could be deeply affected if he suddenly withdrew his love and support.

Pastor Victor Kanyari also appealed to Ciggie to consider preserving his family relationships despite the results. He questioned whether some truths could cause more pain than they resolve and encouraged him not to allow the DNA outcome to completely redefine his relationship with the child.

Meanwhile, former nominated senator Millicent Omanga criticised the decision to make the child’s paternity dispute public.

“Some things should never become content,” Omanga wrote.

She argued that the child’s emotional wellbeing should take priority over social media views, public sympathy and online debate.

Oga Obinna also joined the conversation, speaking more broadly about the emotional consequences that can follow DNA tests and how such results can affect relationships between men and the mothers of their children.

Questions remain over the child’s future

The paternity revelation has raised questions about what happens next, particularly regarding Ciggie’s relationship with the girl he has raised for most of her life.

At the time of reporting, the DNA report itself had not been independently verified.

There was also no public statement from the child’s mother beyond the conversation captured in Ciggie’s video, while it remained unclear how the child had received or processed the information.

It was similarly unclear whether Ciggie intends to continue providing financial support or remain actively involved in the girl’s life.
