The High Court (Divorce and Matrimonial Division) in Accra, Ghana, has brought to a close the 10-year marriage between Ghanaian football icon Asamoah Gyan and his ex-wife, Gifty Gyan. Presiding over the case was Honourable Judge Hafisata Ameleboba JA.
The divorce proceedings were concluded on October 31, 2023. In addition to dissolving the marriage that began in 2013, the court issued rulings concerning the custody of the couple's three children, as well as decisions on landed and vehicular properties for Gifty Gyan.
Asamoah Gyan, former captain of the Black Stars, reacted publicly for the first time since the court's ruling. In a post on the social media platform Twitter (now known as X), Gyan stated that he had ultimately won the case contrary to earlier reports.
Gifty Gyan according to dennislawnews.com, had reportedly filed a cross-petition in February 2019 in which she sought a monthly maintenance fee of £5,000 and a lump sum of $1 million USD from Asamoah Gyan.
Additionally, she petitioned for a 50% share in several properties and businesses owned by her ex-husband. Among these were multiple houses, a printing press in Dubai, a warehouse, and a range of luxury vehicles. She also requested a 50% stake in business entities such as Baby Jet Airlines, Jetlink Events and Logistics, Gyan Investment Ghana Limited, Paradise Pac Drinking Water, Baby Jet Boxing Promotions, and BJ Sports Bar and Restaurant.
Contrary to what she initially sought, the court reportedly granted her the ownership of Asamoah Gyan's UK mansion, a four-bedroom house at Spintex in Accra, and land meant for a fuelling station in Prampram. She was also awarded two cars—a BMW and an Infiniti. However, Gifty Gyan's request for alimony of $1 million was rejected, as was her claim to a share of Asamoah Gyan's stake in several businesses. The court stated that Gifty Gyan failed to prove her ex-husband's stake in these businesses. Additionally, her requests for legal fees and costs were dismissed.
The court ordered that a monthly maintenance fee of GHC 25,000 be given to Gifty Gyan for the upbringing of their children.
The Honourable Court noted Gifty Gyan's "substantial contribution to the acquisition of the properties" in its ruling. This contributed to the court's decision to grant her certain properties and assets.
