Veteran Nollywood actor Abdul Salam Taofeek, popularly known as Tioroju Mondusi, has spoken publicly about what he described as one of the most painful experiences of his life, revealing that he later discovered some of the children he raised were not biologically his.
Speaking during an interview on the African A-List podcast, Taofeek recounted the emotional ordeal, saying the experience left a lasting impact on him and remains difficult to overcome, despite the death of his former wife.
According to the actor, the crisis began several years ago when his wife, who was heavily pregnant at the time, disappeared from home for days without informing him of her whereabouts.
“The only person that did the most painful thing to me in life is my wife. The incident brought tears to my eyes. She’s late now, may God forgive her,” he said.
Taofeek alleged that he later discovered his wife had conducted an introduction ceremony with another man while still married to him. He claimed the situation escalated after she openly questioned the paternity of the child she was carrying.
The actor further stated that the matter eventually reached the courts following the breakdown of their marriage.

“It was in court that she confessed that the third and the last child were not mine. She had been involved with the man for many years,” he alleged.
Reflecting on the experience, Taofeek said the revelations caused significant emotional pain and altered the course of his family life.
He also disclosed that his former wife later died after struggling with personal challenges, while the relationship she left him for reportedly ended after the other man withdrew his support.
The actor’s account has generated widespread reactions on social media, with many Nigerians expressing sympathy over the emotional and psychological toll often associated with paternity disputes and marital deception.
While his claims remain a personal account of events, the revelation has reignited conversations about trust, transparency and the legal implications of paternity fraud within marriages.
