A marriage of nearly two decades has exploded into a cross-border controversy, as a man accuses his wife of vanishing with their daughters and money, while the woman insists she fled to protect her children from a failing home.
The explosive case was brought before Obra Show on Nhyira FM, hosted by Ohemaa Benewaa, drawing intense reactions from listeners.
Liberty Kedey Koffie claims he has been left devastated after his wife allegedly disappeared with their two daughters and GH₵15,000, leaving him behind with unanswered questions.
According to him, their relationship began in Côte d’Ivoire nearly eighteen years ago, where they had two children before relocating to Ghana and expanding their family.
He explained that although they had agreed to settle in Ghana, his world came crashing down when he returned from a trip to the Volta Region, only to find his home empty. His wife and two daughters were gone.
“I have searched for two years, but I cannot find them,” he said, appealing for her return, stressing that his main concern is the children’s education and well-being.
But in a dramatic twist during adjudication, the accused wife, speaking via phone, completely rejected his claims.
“He had no good plans for us,” she fired. “He wasted all the money we worked for. We are back to zero.”
She alleged that Liberty was once financially stable, working in a marine company and earning substantial income, but mismanaged his finances to the point where he could no longer provide for the family.
“I couldn’t stay and watch my children suffer,” she said. “That is why I returned to my parents in Côte d’Ivoire.”
Explaining why she left with only the daughters, she said: “Girls are vulnerable. I had to take them with me.” She also made it clear she is no longer interested in the marriage.
The conflicting accounts have left many questioning where the truth lies: was this an act of betrayal or a mother’s escape from hardship?
Closing the discussion, Ohemaa Benewaa urged both parties to focus on the children. “This is no longer just about husband and wife; it is about the future of the children. They must come first,” she stated.
With tensions still high and no resolution yet, the case continues to stir debate among listeners, exposing the fragile line between love, responsibility, and survival.
