The High Court has ruled that Justice Momoh Jah-Stevens must pay monthly child support of NLe 10,000 starting December 2025, after DNA tests confirmed his biological connection to a child of Edwina Jamiru.
Presiding Judge Augustine K. Musa highlighted that the procedure involved both parties and independent authorities, ensuring the DNA samples and results were handled with procedural integrity.
During court proceedings observed, reports from both Ramsy Medical Laboratory and EcoMeD Advanced Center were disclosed in open court before Honorable Justice Musa.
The laboratory reports reportedly indicate a positive DNA match between the minor child and Justice Stevens, with a certainty of 99.999%.

The DNA testing was ordered by Justice A.K. Musa of the Family & Probate Division earlier in October to confirm the judicial confirmation sought by Justice Stevens regarding the child, born on April 10, 2025.
The case, filed under the Confirmation of Parentage and the Child Rights Act, No. 7 of 2007, will now proceed toward a final judgment. Justice Stevens’ original application sought, should paternity be confirmed, for him to be responsible for the child’s maintenance and upkeep until the age of 18, with the amount to be determined by the court.
The matter has attracted considerable public interest, particularly since it led to the senior judge being placed on administrative leave by the Chief Justice Komba Kamanda in late September 2025, citing that media publications surrounding the case had “the tendency to adversely affect the reputation of the Judiciary.”
Despite the DNA results, no final judgment has yet been delivered. The public has been cautioned against drawing conclusions until the court’s ruling is officially announced.
The matter is currently before the court, with the findings expected to guide the subsequent legal and administrative proceedings.

That amount is too much if it per month, what is so precious about the lady to be giving her Nle 10.000. every month.
I think u shall have try to settle it so that the will not have any grudge or hate the child. Did you think that man will grow to like that child, the way that woman has Disgrace that man publicly.
Maybe that man could have too that responsibility since but because of character or manners of behavior of the Lady lead him not to.
That lady was so rude the she attended that man on social media.
The man will never grow to love that child if she continue over reacting and that child will grow up with a cause or no father Blessing. Please baby mama try to apologize to justice Brima Momoh Jah Steven, if u want your child to be blessed

The man is supposed to pay trice that amount because he was trying to use his power to mistreat the lady and her son. No-one would like his sister to be treated in such an inhumane way by such a high profile or personality. Let’s assume that child DNA happens to be negative what would have been the fate of that such lady? The court should have find her for tarnishing the character of that man.
