Laide Bakare Says She Knows Who Impregnated Her; Not Her First Husband

The crisis over who is the real father of actress Laide Bakare's new baby is not going away anytime soon. Her first husband, Olumide Okunfulure, who said they are still married as there has been no formal divorce, is claiming that he "is likely" the one who impregnated her because in the last 9 months leading to pregnancy and delivery, has had intercourse with her several times.

But Laide Bakare has a different stand. Below is her position...
The actress' publicist released the following statement on her behalf:
"This is just to disabuse the minds of skeptics, as a first step. Nollywood actress, Laide Bakare, was duly married to businessman, Mr. Tunde Oriowo a.k.a. ATM. These (above) are pictures from the Nikkah ceremony that was held quietly in Lagos. Also, as the pictures speak, Laide Bakare was carrying Mr. Oriowo's baby at the time. 
For the nine months that she was pregnant, during which the Muslim wedding was held, Laide was under the watch and care of no other man but Mr. Oriowo who played well his roles as husband and father. 
Reactions to other pettiness would come up in due course."
You may wish to know that her first husband, Mr Olumide, has challenged her to surrender the baby for a DNA test since she's claiming that he wasn't sleeping with her in the last nine months.

Mario Balotelli kept up his fine form in the Confederations Cup in Brazil, and it seemed he was seeking to impress yet again with girlfriend Fanny Neguesha in the crowd cheering him on.
The model showed her support for the 22-year-old by donning an Italy strip in his side's 4-3 win over Japan, ditching her own Belgian roots for the maverick striker.

Balotelli scored to put Italy 3-2 up in Recife, converting past Eiji Kawashima after Makoto Hasebe hand handballed in the area.
Neguesha and Balotelli have been having a fine couple of weeks, after the model posted a picture on instagram of Mario's £100,000 engagement ring earlier this month.

But it had been reported last month that Neguesha had dumped bad boy Balotelli, days after he reportedly said the whole Real Madrid team could sleep with her if they got to the Champions League final.
Neguesha was in attendance on Sunday as Balotelli scored the winner in Italy's 2-1 win over Mexico in Brazil.
