Renowned Ghanaian footballer, Asamoah Gyan, has shared his thoughts on the recent Accra High Court ruling regarding his prolonged marriage annulment case with his ex-wife, Gifty Gyan, now known as Gifty Oware.
In a Twitter post, Asamoah Gyan suggested that while his ex-wife was granted some of her requests, he also retained possession of some of his properties.
Gyan, in a reply to a post by a blogger, stated, “If I have 10pts and I keep quiet cos I’m matured, and you have 2 pts and you going find public sympathy, then it’s cool. You are very funny. This is deep so think about it”, Gyan tweeted.
On October 31, 2023, an Accra High Court issued a verdict in a lengthy three-year divorce dispute involving former Ghanaian international Asamoah Gyan.
The court ruled to dissolve the marriage, which had been established in 2013, between Gyan and Gifty. Additionally, the court provided instructions concerning the paternity of the three children born to the couple.
Gyan had previously contested his paternity, necessitating a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) test, the results of which confirmed his biological relationship with the children.
Dennis Law, wrote of the paternity issue in their report: “Initially, Asamoah Gyan had denied paternity of their three children, seeking an annulment of their marriage. However, the court, in its decision on October 31, 2023, established that the three children are indeed the progeny of Asamoah Gyan.”
In connection with the dissolution of the marriage, further directives pertaining to the support of the children stipulate that Asamoah Gyan is required to provide a monthly payment of 25,000 Ghana cedis to Gifty Gyan.
“This stipend is allocated for the upbringing and welfare of the three children, excluding expenses such as school fees, medical and dental care, flight tickets, and various other childcare-related costs,” the law firm added.
