The divorce case between Asamoah Gyan, the former Black Stars captain, and his ex-wife Gifty, has come to a close, with a judgment delivered by an Accra High Court on October 31, 2023.

The court officially ended the marriage, which began in 2013, issuing orders concerning the paternity and custody of the couple's three children, as well as division of their landed and vehicular properties.

Gyan, reacting publicly for the first time to the court's decision, stated on a Twitter (now X) post, "I have taken the outcome maturely and have ultimately retained a large chunk of my wealth."

What Gifty asked for and what she received

Demands That Were Rejected:

Gifty Gyan had initially sought an alimony payment of US$1 million. The court rejected this demand.

She also aimed for a share of Asamoah Gyan's stake in several businesses. The court, however, stated that she failed to prove that Gyan had a stake in these businesses, and therefore rejected this request.

Gifty Gyan wanted a share of properties known as an East Legon mansion and Baby Jet Heights. These too were dismissed by the court, stating they were not spousal properties.

Finally, her request for costs and legal fees was also not granted.

What She Was Granted:

Contrary to her earlier demands, what Gifty Gyan was granted was considerably less, but still notable:

a. A mansion located in the UK owned by Asamoah Gyan b. A four-bedroom house at Spintex in Accra c. Ownership of land intended for a fuelling station in Prampram d. Two vehicles: a BMW and an Infiniti

As the dust settles on this high-profile divorce, both parties appear to be taking steps to move on with their lives. While the court has made its orders clear, the scrutiny surrounding this case will likely continue to be a topic of public conversation for some time.
