In response, Cubana Chief Priest said he was prepared to undergo the test but proposed that it be conducted publicly on live television. According to him, Hellen Ati and the child should be brought to a television studio where the DNA test could be carried out in full view of the public.
Reacting to the proposal, Hellen Ati alleged that Cubana Chief Priest had previously made a similar promise to take a DNA test during a live interview but did not follow through.
“Pascal, you are saying that I should go and do DNA on a live TV station, yet this is what you said before—that you would do the DNA, but you ran away,” she claimed.
She further stated that she would continue pressing for the test until it is conducted.
“Pascal, we will die here together. I will never back down until the DNA is conducted,” Hellen said.
The paternity claims and counterclaims remain unresolved, and no publicly verified DNA test results have been released by either party.
