He had been in a relationship with his longtime girlfriend for about ten years before marriage and had been married for approximately nine years.

“According to social media posts later picked up by a Ghanaian news outlet, Offei had been in a long-term relationship with his wife for about ten years before marriage and had been married for approximately nine years.

“A friend who shared the news online claimed Offei was emotionally distressed after receiving the DNA results and had called him in tears shortly before his death.
“The incident has sparked widespread reaction on social media, with many expressing sympathy and discussing issues of trust and honesty in relationships. However, no official statement from Danish authorities or family representatives has publicly confirmed the circumstances, and much of the available information remains based on social media accounts and secondary reporting.”
In a separate account, abroad-based digital content creator Bmm Swerdna posted on January 20, 2026, that he had received a call from Offei, who narrated how the DNA test had revealed none of the children were his.
“This morning, a close friend called me from Copenhagen. He was weeping on the phone like a baby. He tried to speak, then told me he just found out all four children are not his through a DNA test. Married for nine years… I make basaaa. Women, why??”
On February 1, 2026, Bmm updated his Facebook page, reporting that Offei had taken his own life.
“Just in: My friend Benjamin Offei, who found out in a DNA test that all four children are not his in his 19-year relationship with his Ghanaian wife, has committed suicide in his garage in Copenhagen.”
