March 28, 2016 – Pictures: Yakubu Gowon Accepts Igbo Son Jailed For Importing Heroine Drug Into The US

Musa Jack Ngonadi Gowon Pardoned By Obama, Deported To Nigeria

Musa Jack Ngonadi Gowon, the love child of former President Yakubu Gowon has been pardoned by President Obama.

At the age of 23, he was arrested for importing heroine into the US and was jailed at a correctional facility in Dallas Texas.

Last November, Obama granted him clemency on the ground of exemplary behaviour. He was then released and deported back to Nigeria after spending 25 years in prison.

At last 81-year-old Yakubu Gowon has finally acknowledged that 48-year-old Musa is his son.

Gowon said he will assist Musa in his rehabilitation and asked that their privacy be protected.

Musa is the product of a brief romance between Yakubu Gowon and late Edith Ike Okongwu.

Check out latest photos of Musa Gowon.

    The young man definitely resembles Gowon. I believe if his father had recognized him earlier enough he wouldn’t have been involved in such crimes like drug pedling. Men should shun pride and ego and learn how to take responsibility for their actions before it is is too late

    This is a joyous reunion between former Head of State-General Yakubu Gowon and Musa Gowon after over 40 years of denial by oNE of NIgerian great leaders. Thanks to the DNA innovation. However, Musa committed drug offence at a young age when he was 23 years, and he served his term in prison. We have no idea if Musa Mom was still alive when young Musa was jail. I’m happy for Mr. Musa that finally his father-highly respected Nigerian statemen has finally claimed him as his biological son. It my prayer that God Almighty will restore back to Musa those things the devil has stolen from him in the past 25 years while in prison. What an happy ending!

    Musa had friends who were into drugs and they exploited his naivety to set him up. Musa had the option of naming the culprits because he could but the fear that they; drug culprits warned him not to or they will kill him got him scared as the only child of his mum and he refused to name them. He got into wrong company but Musa didn’t do or carry drugs. He just couldn’t afford the war from the barons and prison was a better alternative for him! The USA police could investigate to exonerate Musa but they jailed him bc he is black! Google this story. Don’t judge people from what you think you know! Gen Gowon could help but he lived in denial that Musa wasn’t his son until after he was pardoned that he took a DNA test that exonerated Musa’s mum.

    Seyaaa, he wasted a whole 25 years part of his life in prison. If not he was in prison, he would have his family and grown up children. Any way sometimes life is like that.
