Delta Hospital Denies Offering Free DNA Tests: Punch Newspapers

Reports circulating on social media platforms suggested that Eku Baptist General Hospital in Delta State, Nigeria, was offering free DNA tests and had recorded instances of paternity fraud. However, the hospital has now issued a statement denying these claims, according to Punch Newspapers.

In a report published on Tuesday, 9th November 2026, Punch Newspapers stated that the hospital’s management had dismissed the claims as false.

The exact origin of the social media reports is unclear, but the hospital’s denial raises questions about the accuracy and reliability of such claims.

This development may have significant implications for individuals who had planned to seek DNA testing services at the hospital based on the misleading information circulating online.
