I Didn’t Abandon My Son – Father of Nana Aba Anamoah’s Son Speaks

Awards-winning broadcaster, Nana Aba Anamoah and her son have been trending for days now. As we reported earlier, Nana Aba shared of photo of herself and her son on IG days ago. The photo won the admiration and comments from most of her followers.

However, the post was taken down yesterday and the reason was that a man, claiming to be the boy’s father has popped up.

Well, as usual, when Ghanaians heard of this news, they didn’t take it lightly with the man at all.

He was lambasted for the fact that he had to impregnate Nana Aba at a tender age and later elope without taking charge of his fatherly responsibilities.

At least, that’s the story we all knew as was told by Nana Aba sometime ago. She once admitted in 2016 that she got pregnant when she was in Senior High School and stated that she does not want to talk about the man.

However, reports further stated that the man after impregnating her abandoned her and the baby. Hence Nana Aba had to raise the boy, Paa Kow as a single parent. For this reason even the boy bears Nana Aba’s surname ‘Anamoah’

So when he finally popped out claiming to love his son, he received the criticism of his life.

The man, identified as Richard Brown, aka Osebo uploaded the image Nana Aba had shared. He captioned it “Daddy luvs u so much my son. God knows I really do son”. This brought him to the prying eyes of the media.

Richard Brown followed it up another photo of the boy captioned “U r my blood and I luv u so much no matter what my son ??.”

But Nana never gave up and kept on ‘grinding’ for a better life for herself and her son. Now she is regarded as one of the top female journalists in the country if not the best and highly valued.

However, the saga has taken a new twist as the father has also come out with his version of the story. According to a report by Ghanacelebrities.com, Nana Aba’s story is far different from the real truth.

According to Ghanacelebrities.com, a source close to Mr Brown is pleading with Ghanaians to listen to both sides of the story first. Then they can go ahead and judge for themselves.

The source hinted that Richard Brown did not decide to just quit and leave his son without taking care of him. Rather, that was Nana Aba Anamoah’s decision to simply cut the father off even though the son loves him very much.

In his narration, he says that a long time ago Brown was taking care of Paa Kow when he was still a child. Thus; paying his school fees at the Silicon Valley school, taking care of him and paying occasional visits.

However, things fell apart when Nana Aba Anamoah travelled to the U.K sometime back and called Osebo for some money. But Osebo told Nana Aba that the time to pay his child’s school fees were due so he would settle that first. Then he would find some additional money and send to her later but that reportedly pissed off Nana Aba.

That was the moment the center couldn’t hold and she unloaded on Osebo that she does not even need anything from him. Adding that he can go to hell and should never contact either her or their son again.

From the information gathered from the source, that was the initial break between him[Osebo] and the son[Paa Kow]. Notwithstanding, he still made several efforts to make things right and continue to take care of the son but Nana Aba rebuffed them all.

He reportedly sent gifts through two intermediaries to be given to his son.  A worker at Metro TV whom Nana Aba knew and another friend.  But Nana Aba reportedly got pissed off anytime she became aware of these.

Osebo, the source and others then resorted to visiting Nana Aba’s home for a meeting with her parents. However, in full view of her parents, Nana Aba sacked them all claiming she wasn’t interested in solving issues with him.

The father, we also learned, on a few occasions managed to find ways to communicate with the son. But every time she[Nana Aba] found out, she blocked his number. Nana Aba herself however, had attested to this once when she appeared on the Delay Show.

After numerous attempts were all cut off by the mother, Osebo felt he had no choice but to step back. That led to him missing out on his son’s life but he never stopped loving him, the source said.

The source, added that he’s very appreciative to Nana Aba for caring for the boy and always giving him the best. Though he had been cut off from doing his

Though he’s stopped wading into her affairs, he appreciates everything Nana Aba has done taking care of Paa Kow all these years since it must not have been easy but he’s only interested in correcting the perception that he abandoned his own child.
