Kenyan Singer Akothee Wins Child Custody Case Against Foreigner Dad

Kenyan singer Esther Akoth, better known as Akothee is set to retain custody for one of his sons after winning a court case. 

The case reportedly involved a battle for one of her two sons, Oyoo and Ojwang, who she has previously mentioned they were fathered by foreign men. The controversial musician has five kids, three girls and two boys, all from different relationships.

In an emotional post on Instagram on Thursday, Akothee said she had won the case and lashed out at lawyers who agree to fight child custody for absentee fathers.

“The number of trips I made to the law courts just to fight for our safety & your rights , The number of emails back and forth between lawyers just to prove which point! Don’t hesitate to consult the children’s court every time you are having custody battles, the children’s court is plain fare and work towards the safety & interest of the children only, not love triangles, just make sure the story you are telling is true and truth alone shall remain, no one can buy the rights of your child if you are a responsible mother! No court will take a child away from a mother if she has been there since conception!” she wrote.

“Only a selfish Lawyer can use the family situation to collect money from an irresponsible father, imagining that he can challenge the children’s court at the expense of his pocket .family issues are very sensitive and all lawyers should think twice before misleading any party! It’s a matter of life & death! Couples have committed suicide and murdered their children! Don’t be a party to destroying families just to end up in a bank, you might end up like Judas. God bless all parents fighting custody battles,” she added.
