Former Cameroonian footballer Geremi Njitap, who shone in the Real Madrid and Chelsea shirt, is going through a complex personal situation after requesting a divorce from his wife upon learning that his 16-year-old twins are not his biological children after a DNA test confirmed the news, according to the media in his country Actu Cameroun.
Geremi, a remembered figure of the Cameroon team in the African Cup of Nations titles (2000 and 2002) and gold medalist at the Sydney Olympic Games with the Indomitable Lions, revealed the causes of his separation with his wife, Toukam Fotso Laure Verine, daughter of a billionaire, in the divorce certificate that was published in the media of the African country.
In addition to having suffered an “emotional shock” due to the situation discovered, the 45-year-old former player reported that the wife of the twin children born on June 5, 2008, four years before the marriage, confirmed them as his when in reality her real father is an ex-partner of his wife. “She never stopped humiliating and despising him, covering up insults that were as degrading as they were infamous, without hesitating to call him ‘a cheapskate’ and any other adjective,” reads the report published by Actu Cameroun.
“At the beginning of this union, the wife was kind, she did not stop lying, presenting the twin children as hers, which motivated the marriage. The discovery by the husband that said children were those of her previous husband because they were born during this marriage, will alter the harmony of the couple. More seriously, the paternity test carried out confirmed it, forcing his wife to confess. “She also convinced him to let the children go regularly to their legitimate and biological father,” the divorce certificate says.

The report, which was disseminated in this medium by journalist Beaufils Zambo, speaks of humiliation by the woman of Geremi. She “has become, however, a conceited and belligerent wife, who locks the marital bedroom and forces her husband to sleep in other rooms in the couple’s home.” Additionally, his wife’s daughter from another marriage threatened to call the police.
The novel that has the former footballer very worried will continue in court, but nothing can calm the pain that this man feels, deceived by the woman with whom he married and raised his two twin children. The Cameroonian portal indicates that marriage certificate No. 033/2012 was registered in the city of Pete Bandjoun: “These insults uttered against him and in front of his children have plunged the plaintiff into a degrading psychological state, making him lose all esteem and consideration as man, father, husband or spouse of the mother in relation to her children: that these insults constitute a serious and repeated violation of the duties and obligations that result from marriage and make the maintenance of the marital bond intolerable, in accordance with article 232 of the Code”, indicates the extensive report that his lawyer presented to demand the divorce request of the person who currently serves as president of the National Footballers Union of Cameroon.
