The incident was reported by Breeze 90.9 FM on February 2, 2026, citing information that Offei had been in a relationship with his partner for about 10 years before marriage and had been married for approximately nine years.
According to the report, Offei was found dead in a garage days after learning the results of the DNA test.
In a separate account shared on social media, an abroad-based digital content creator known as Bmm Swerdna indicated that he had received a distressing call from Offei, who reportedly disclosed that none of the four children were biologically his.
