An Appeal Court has thrown out an appeal by ex-wife of Ghana football legend, Nii Odartey Lamptey.
The football legend’s ex-wife sought to own the footballer’s 7-bedroom mansion in East Legon.
In 2020, the Court of Appeal threw out a similar appeal filed by the ex-wife of the former Aston Villa Striker to get the plush residence as part of her alimony.
Background
In June 2017, the Accra High Court Justice Cecilia Don-Chebe Agbevey who put finality to the winding legal battle ordered the estranged wife to vacate Odartey’s seven bed-room mansion in East Legon but must settle her with alimony of GHC 200,000.00, a car and Odartey’s four-bedroom house located in Dome.
The Ex-wife who struggled to come to terms with the ruling, appealed for a review of the verdict with the aim of getting Odartey’s mansion as part of her entitlements but unfortunately, her appeal to own that large imposing residence was thrown out by the Appeals Court.
All three judges who sat on the appeal ruled in favor of the ex-star and have asked Gloria to move out as soon as possible.
Odartey Lamptey Speaking to Kasapa FM’s Alexander Anyankwaa after the ruling said, “I feel happy now because it’s been over seven years of legal battle but I thank God that finally her appeal against me has been thrown out and the court has ordered her to evacuate from my mansion. It has not been easy at all but I thank The Lord Almighty for a battle well fought. I thank my lawyers, Kizito Beyuo & Iris K. Aggrey-Orleans for a great job.”
He added that he wishes no one goes through what he was subjected to by his ex-wife.
“It’s my prayer that nobody experience this kind of situation because it can easily ruin your life,” Odartey told Kasapa FM’s Sports Journalist Alexander Anyankwaa.
