Odartey Lamptey Recounts a Harrowing Experience of Almost Using His Gun When He Discovered His Children Were Not His

Ghanaian Award-winning ex-footballer, Odartey Lamptey has disclosed that he almost used his gun when he discovered the three children he had taken care of all his life were not his children.

However, patience and the grace of God prevented him from taking that action which would have landed him in prison.

“When the issue happened I wanted to use my gun. It was in my Tundra but I decided I would not do anything to jeopardize my life so I did not use it. I was broken but I was very patient about it and that has led me to where I am today. I believe it was God who spoke to me and so I decided not to use my gun. It used to be in my Tundra but I decided not to touch the gun again.

I’ve my children and family now and people even come to me to learn from how I have been able to emotionally handle it. My ordeal gave men awareness and the confidence to check the paternity of their children. Some have not been able to handle the shock but some have been able to,” he said while speaking to Dan Kwaku Yeboah.
