Geremi Njitap learns he is not the biological father of his children and files for divorce

After learning that he is not the biological father of his two boys, former Cameroonian footballer Geremi Njitap asked for a divorce from his wife Laure whom he accuses of infidelity.

Geremi Njitap, former glory of Cameroonian football, is currently going through a very delicate family situation. According to the Cameroonian press, the former international footballer, once an idol on the pitch, filed a divorce petition against his wife, Toukam Fotso Laure Verline, revealing intimate and shocking details.

Among the reasons given, we find the refusal of sexual relations on the part of his wife, going so far as to lock the marital bedroom, forcing Geremi to sleep elsewhere. This situation deeply affected the former footballer, depriving him of his esteem and consideration as a man, father, husband, and husband, in front of his own children.

The situation takes a more painful turn when Geremi discovers, after a paternity test, that the twins he has raised for years are not his biological children, but those of his wife's ex-husband. This revelation would have had a devastating emotional impact on him, especially since he claims to have received no support from his wife in this ordeal.

According to the explanations given in the divorce request, Geremi Njitap's suffering is aggravated by the accusations of degrading and humiliating insults uttered by his wife against him, even in front of their children. These actions deeply affected the former Indomitable Lion, plunging him into deep psychological distress and causing him to lose all self-esteem.

Faced with this situation, which he describes as “a serious and renewed violation of the duties and obligations of marriage”, Geremi Njitap believes that he has no other choice but to file for divorce. This decision, although heavy, seems inevitable to him given the deterioration of his relationship with his wife.

The divorce request is only the first act in a legal drama which promises to be complex. The entire Cameroon is suspended following this duel between Geremi Njitap, an icon of national football, and his wife, Toukam Fotso Laure Verline, whose version of the facts could shed new light on this torn intimacy brutally exposed under the spotlight.
