CONTROVERSIAL: Otto and his current family onto which, he wanted to add his other two kids as adopted ones, losing it all

The hopes for the controversial MP Otto becoming an American citizen slimed to zero recently  after he ran out of the Nairobi premised Embassy whose officials, pressed him to explain the questionable stance where, he tried to adopt his biological kids.  

We can exclusively reveal that Otto recently went to the embassy, following up on his Green Card application, only to run away shortly. "Upon reaching the desk, he was presented with scanned copies of stories that placed him in a criminal act of trying to adopt his own kids in search for a Green Card," our source impeccably intimated.

Shocked to the marrow, the ever 'smart' MP faked a phone call and excused self to 'receive' it, only to get lost in thin air. "He sensed he was minutes away from detention and he successfully tried his luck to run away. Even as we talk now, he is a suspect who could face charges any time," an authoritative source offered.

On April 24th 2013, we broke the story of how Otto had been challenged by his ex-wife and mother of his two kids, Grace Santa Acan, who protested an order which the legislator had secured to adopt the children as their 'uncle.' 

Now legally married to Juliet Oyulu, Otto wanted to relocate to the US, with his five children. He had two children with Acan namely; Olowang and Anying. And he has three with Oyulu namely; Whitney Yumi Lamwaka, Favour Lamaro and Israel Mwaka. 

Otto had included all his children as beneficiaries in his application for a Green Card, which when granted, makes him and the children American citizens. But the no-nonsense Dr. Acan stormed Makindye Court to challenge the adoption order, hence undressing her kids' father' forgery and un-honourable character.

The Story

Sometime early last year, Otto approached his Ex Acan at her home of Kisaasi and told her he wanted the kids to take them abroad. He even showed her their already processed passports. Confused of the abrupt development of which she had no prior clue, she hesitated as she made own investigations. Indeed, at around the same time, she was tipped off by a friend, about the adoption order issued by Court.

Confused, she confided in her brother Solomon and other family members who ably obtained all the documents adduced by Otto. "We realised that he declared one of the kids' birth certificate as from Nakasero Hospital yet her birth was at Gulu Hospital. There is also an affidavit purportedly sworn by Dr. Grace, consenting to the adoption procedure but her signature is not only forged but far from her known one," Solomon offered.

Upon knowledge of their movements, Otto went back to court and swore another affidavit, maintaining his earlier status as a paternal Uncle to the lads. Dismayed Acan along with her family members went to Kibuli based Criminal Investigations and Intelligence Directorate (CIID) for redress but with no much success. "They told us it involved a high-profile personality and could only be handled at Police Headquarters," Solomon recalls.

Acan then went to the headquarters from where Cops reportedly told her it was hard for police to start a case against the MP. "We resorted to face it off in Court and through our lawyers, affidavits have been sworn and filed," confirmed Solomon. Indeed, documents on our Crime Desk prove the case order had been challenged already.   

The documents

Otto based his petition on the claim that the children had been fathered by his 'dead' brother Alieri Der who had been 'captured' by the Kony rebels. He also submitted child birth certificates, purporting that the said Alieri Der had given birth to the said children. However, Otto's documents are countered by Acan's which indicate that she produced them from Nsambya hospital and Gulu Hospital respectively, with the legislator as the registered biological father.

The affidavit purportedly sworn by Acan in support of the adoption order has been refuted as forgery by the signatory. Before Court now, are two birth certificates for each child, those submitted by Otto and those for Acan. And a close look at all of them throws a glimpse of invalidity on Otto's submissions.

Otto's legal representatives in the matter are himself and the wife through Oyullu Odonga-Otto & Co. Advocates. And in any need of forgery, they are interested party who can easily fall to the temptation of securing one. Before us is Dr. Acan's photocopies of her driving permit and employment identity card, onto which, her official signature appears. And indeed, even to an ordinary eye, it is not even near to a photocopy of the one on the said consent affidavit.  

The history

Family sources reveal that Acan and the legislator lived together in early 2000s as man and wife and the pair's Bed-Minton games resulted into the two issues. The First Born came in 2003 and the second, jetted in on July 2nd2006.  However, after a few years, the two lovers fell out and Otto decided to marry his current wife Juliet Oyulu on April 16th, 2009. 

Otto has three children with Oyulu who include Rupee Favour, Lamoro Yumi Whitney Lamwaka and Israel Mwaka. Grace Acan is now a medical doctor working with St Benedict Medical Centre and lives in Kisaasi, a Kampala suburb, as a single mother. She is of late; understandably very puzzled that the man she claims to be the biological father of her kids has instead opted to adopt them.
