He shared a video on Facebook showing him and some companions visiting a man believed to be Afia Akoto’s father. During the visit, he took back a bottle of Schnapp, a traditional symbol of marriage, which he had presented to her family during their wedding—formally marking the end of their union.

In the video’s caption, Chief Biney confirmed that his five-year marriage to Afia Akoto, a former Deputy CEO of MASLOC under the Akufo-Addo administration, was officially over.

He also expressed gratitude to God and his pastor, Apostle Selassie Addae, for accompanying him to his former in-laws to finalize the separation.

He wrote: "A Man's heart plans his ways but God Almighty directs his steps. Where God guides, he provides. That journey 5 years ago has traditionally and officially ended successfully in Jesus' name. Baba God, I am grateful for this day. Thank you Apostle Selasie Addae, Apostle Emmanuel Baidoo and all for the support."

Chief Biney and Afia Akoto's marriage

Chief Biney and Afia Akoto tied the knot in a big plush wedding in 2020, which was attended by prominent political figures and distinguished personalities in Ghana.

The couple's wedding courted attention in the media space as they were important figures from the two rival political parties in Ghana, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

However, a few years after their marriage, rumours circulated that Chief Biney and Afia Akoto were facing marital issues and that their union was on the verge of collapsing.

The rumours later turned out to be true in 2023 after Afia Akoto confirmed that she and Chief Biney had split while addressing some NPP supporters in the Okaikoi North constituency at a political event.
