Former Black Stars player Nii Odartey Lamptey has recounted the unbearable emotional pain he went through when it came to bare that the three children he had known as his and fathered for 21 years were not his biological children.

After rumours that he was not the biological father of the three children, he had to feign to get the DNA samples of the kids who were then in school in order to undertake a DNA test to ascertain whether they were his.

"I thought I was the father but upon rumors that they are not my kids, they said I have to do DNA," he said in an interview with TV3. He added, "My lawyer showed me where they do the DNA, I got to know that yes, the kids are not mine".

Odartey says he went to a medical facility to enquire about the process of having a DNA without the knowledge of his wife Gloria Lamptey.

"I know, It was a difficult situation, I was very close with the children and for me to be able to do this, I told them I have an infection in my throat and upon doctors advise, I should be able to cure theirs now otherwise when they grow, they will have problems...".

According to the former Anderlecht  player, he went to the school of the kids with a doctor friend to take the DNA samples of the children revealing that the whole process cost him in excess of GH 4000 to conduct.

"At that short period, you finding out that, they are not yours anymore... I don't know the kind of pain any human being can go through more than that".

However, Lamptey said he has found happiness after remarrying and fathering two girls.
