Gifty Gyan was already married and was not divorced before she met Asamoah Gyan and she did not tell Asamoah.
So that was the ground upon which Asamoah Gyan petitioned the Accra High Court to annul the marriage, Baffour Gyan, a senior brother of Asamoah has said.
The court has therefore agreed with Asamoah Gyan and subsequently annulled the marriage.
Reacting to the court ruling on Tuesday [Oct 31, 2023], Baffour Gyan in a radio interview said he was surprised the public was trying to overturn the narrative.
It is rather our “victory” he said in the radio interview.
He said Asamoah Gyan filed the petition about five years ago asking the court to annul the marriage because Gifty was not frank with him about her previous marriage, she was not divorced and therefore had deceived Asamoah Gyan.
The judgment is therefore based on Gifty’s deception about her previous marriage, he stated.
The court therefore denied Gifty’s alimony claim, rejected her bid for a share in Asamoah Gyan’s businesses, and dismissed her claims on certain properties.
However, the court awarded her properties, already gifted to her by Asamoah Gyan, and ordered him to pay GH¢25,000 monthly as child support, acknowledging him as the father of their three children.
On the property issue, Baffour Gyan explained that the house at Spintex in Accra was a house Asamoah Gyan bought for Gifty and even registered in her name. That is where Gifty lives with the kids.
In addition to that, the gas station at Tema [Prampram], was a plot of land Gifty bought to use as a gas filling station, that was also registered in her name.
