In the aftermath of the Accra High Court ruling on his marriage annulment case, Asamoah Gyan and his legal counsel, Edwin Kusi Appiah, have embarked on a media tour to rectify what they perceive as a deliberate misinterpretation of the verdict.

On November 1, 2023, Gyan initiated his media outreach by addressing the matter in an interview with Asempa FM, where he cautioned his former spouse to rein in individuals who have been distorting the narrative. Additionally, Gyan has been actively using social media to respond to comments that he believes misrepresent the actual events.

Simultaneously, his attorney has been engaged in a series of media appearances, discussing the court ruling and making certain bold claims regarding the case. He has appeared on more than five media platforms to clarify the situation.

Below are five of them:

Asamoah Gyan has spoken to his ex-wife

In his Asempa FM interview, Asamoah Gyan disclosed that he has talked to Gifty Oware and discussed the need to avoid muddying the waters.

If the attempts to distort the verdict are not addressed, Gyan stated he will be forced to come forward and reveal information.

Ex-wife presented fake parents for marriage

Attorney Edwin Kusi Appiah revealed that it was discovered during court proceedings that the individuals Gifty Oware had named as Asamoah Gyan's parents were in fact not her parents.

This was revealed during the testimony of witnesses presented by Asamoah Gyan during the trial, which lasted three years, according to Edwin Kusi Appiah, the former striker for the Black Stars.

“When we went to court, people familiar with the woman who testified in court said that the people the woman brought to witness the marriage as her father and mother were actually not her father and mother and they are the people she introduced to Asamoah as her parents,” the lawyer said in an interview on UTV on Wednesday, November 1, 2023.

Asamoah Gyan was threatened

It has been disclosed that Asamoah Gyan was forced to take a DNA test on his three children as a result of purported threats to take the children away from him made by his ex-wife's purported husband.

Attorney Kusi Appiah claimed that Gyan knew his wife was having an affair and that the other man was claiming his kids, especially the firstborn.

“Asamoah Gyan married his wife in 2013 but had been with her since 2003. He got information that prior to marrying her, the lady had married another man. Their marriage had three kids with the firstborn coming in 2005. Asamoah Gyan told me he was threatened by someone that the children, particularly the firstborn were not his and that they belonged to him (the person issuing the threat).

“That is what forced us to go to court and seek permission to conduct DNA on the kids. Thankfully, the DNA test proved that Gyan was the father of the children and he was really happy with it. Gyan was happy because he loved the children. That is the main reason Asamoah Gyan went to court,” he said.

Gifty is still married

Court records state that Gifty is wed to a Ghanaian man who resides in the United Kingdom. The man goes by Mr. Oware, according to reports.

As disclosed in court, Gifty had been wed to the man since 2002, the year prior to her encounter with Asamoah Gyan.

As per the court's decision, the marriage remains valid.

Date of birth on Gifty’s BECE certificate and passport are different

The Court Dismisses Age-Cheating Allegations in Asamoah Gyan's Case as Passport Date Prevails

In the legal proceedings, the court rejected allegations of age-cheating put forth by Asamoah Gyan's legal team, opting to acknowledge the date on Gifty's passport as valid. According to Asamoah Gyan's lawyer, even though the two documents displayed differing dates, the court chose to uphold the passport's date.

Consequently, the court affirmed that, at the time of marrying her husband, Gifty was 17 years old, a contradiction to the age previously asserted by Asamoah Gyan.
