Ghanain Footballer’s Adulterous Ex-Wife Who Had 3 Of Their Children For Another Man, Loses In Court

After a 4-year legal battle, legendary Ghana midfielder, Nii Odartey Lamptey, has emerged victorious in the long-running divorce saga from his ex-wife, Gloria Appiah. .

Four years after it emerged that the former Black Stars midfielder had been cuckolded by his ex-wife, a court in Accra ruled against her claim of 50% share of the footballer’s fortunes, DGA reports. .

Lamptey’s world came crashing down 4 years ago with news of his wife’s adultery, particularly as DNA results revealed that three of their children were products of her illicit affairs. .

A messy divorce saga soon ensued, with his wife of 21 years, Gloria, seeking half of the player’s fortunes in settlement. .

However, Justice Cecilia Don-Chebe Agbevey of the High Court in Accra on Thursday ordered the estranged wife to vacate the footballer’s plush 7-bedroom East Legon apartment within 30 days, stating that she had no claims to his properties. .

A relieved Lamptey told Starrsportsgh, “I thank God for taking me through this fight successfully because I didn’t know how far I could go. I’m grateful that the toils that I have gone through for the past 21 years did not go in vain.

When I was informed that the [three] children were not mine, I knew how I felt. Playing the role of a father to children I thought were mine for 21 years and realizing otherwise later, I nearly committed suicide. .

God gave me renewed energy and courage to withstand these pains and today, I can say I have gotten over them all. And today, with the final judgement, I thank God that my properties, my school and others, I have kept them. .

She can take the little awarded her. Today the divorce has been granted and that burden that was on me is gone. Now, I’m a free and happy man, ready to start life again.” .

Lamptey, who starred for Anderlecht and PSV in his playing days, has since moved on and now has two children with movie star, Ruweida Yakubu.
