COURT GRANTS A UK RESIDENCE AND MORE ASSETS TO ASAMOAH GYANS EX-WIFE.

A High Court in Accra has granted various assets, including a UK residence, a four-bedroom house in Spintex, a Gas station and two vehicles to Gifty Gyan, the former wife of Ghana’s former captain, Asamoah Gyan as part of their divorce settlement. Court presided over by Judge Hafisata Ameleboba JA also ordered a monthly maintenance fee of GHC 25,000 to Gifty.

This legal dispute arose when Asamoah Gyan sought divorce, questioned the paternity of their three children, and requested a DNA test. The DNA results confirmed the footballer’s biological relationship with all three children. The court’s judgment declared the 2013 marriage between Gifty Gyan and Asamoah Gyan, despite an earlier informal marriage in 2002 when Gifty was 17 years old, as valid. However, the court annulled the 2013 marriage through a decree of nullity.

The court recognized that the couple had been in an intimate relationship since 2003 and had two children before their formal marriage. Regarding Gifty Gyan’s significant contributions to the acquisition of Asamoah Gyan’s assets, the court acknowledged her caregiving responsibilities and living arrangements with the children during Asamoah Gyan’s career, entitling her to a portion of the assets.
