He insisted on a home birth because he refused to be listed as the mother on any hospital documents - a legal requirement of in Germany. The father, who maintained the reproductive organs of a woman, has been taking hormone replacement therapies for years to switch sexes.

Details about the sperm donor or any relationship information has been withheld from the public as the father wanted to protect his son from any attention. Officially the child, who was born on March 18, does not have a mother, only a father.

A former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has withdrawn the statement credited to him that he had an intimate relationship with the wife of the late Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu and Nigeria’s Ambassador to Spain, Mrs. Bianca Ojukwu.

Fani-Kayode, also a former Minister of Culture, in a statement by his lawyer, Mr. Akinola Babatunde Rotimi, however, said the claim by Bianca that they were not friends and had never met was ‘patently false'.

The former minister, who was also a spokesman of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, insisted that he knew Bianca in the early mid-80s when he was a student at the London and Cambridge Universities respectively.

He noted that they were good friends at the time and had a few mutual friends who are still alive till date. The statement stated that though he had not seen Bianca for over 25 years, he spoke to her on the phone when her husband passed on last year.
