I didn’t remarry; what’s wrong if I actually did? – Okomfo Kolege on remarriage rumours

Kumawood actor Okomfo Kolege has addressed the wave of criticism that followed viral posts suggesting he had remarried.

In an interview with Kwaku Manu TV on November 15, 2024, Kolege responded to the confusion sparked by the posts, which led many to believe he had gotten married.

He clarified that he is not married, explaining that he had merely stood in for someone else during the ceremony. However, he chose not to disclose the identity of the person involved.

“I’ve stayed quiet about this whole issue, but I would appreciate it if the person who posted that picture from a fake account could come forward and clarify whether I’m married or not. I have stood in as a husband for some relatives abroad, and I don’t see anything wrong with that,” he explained.

He went on to question, “Let’s assume the picture that circulated on social media is true. What’s wrong with remarrying after my wife passed away two years ago? Would Ghanaians prefer I fornicate or settle down?”

The Kumawood actor also opened up on the emotional toll of losing his wife.

“I am the only one who truly felt the pain and trauma when I lost my wife. I moved from Kumasi to Accra to help me cope with the grief. That’s why I’m asking the person who posted that photo to clarify whether I was standing in for someone or getting married myself,” he added.

Background

On October 20, 2024, social media was abuzz with photos and videos of Okomfo Kolege, sparking rumours that the actor had secretly remarried in an intimate ceremony with only close family and friends present.

Kolege’s late wife, Millicent Oteng, sadly passed away during childbirth on November 17, 2022.
