Lawyers for Joana Quaye have accused businessman Richard Nii Armah Quaye of attempting to influence public opinion and undermine the judicial process through a recent media appearance granted while an appeal in their legal dispute remains pending.
In a statement issued on Monday, Messrs. Dame & Partners said their attention had been drawn to an interview Mr Quaye granted to broadcaster Deloris Frimpong Manso on the Delay Show, which has since gained widespread circulation across television and digital platforms.
The firm emphasised that the interview was conducted during the pendency of an appeal challenging the “Final Orders” of the High Court of Ghana, dated 20 January 2026, and currently before the Court of Appeal of Ghana.
According to the lawyers, Mr Quaye used the platform to make allegations that are “substantially untrue” and directly related to issues under judicial consideration. They argued that the remarks unfairly impugn the reputation and integrity of their client, all of which, they stressed, are strongly denied.
The statement further noted that key elements of the dispute are already matters of public record and cannot be altered through media commentary. It referenced evidence before the High Court dated 13 March 2024, which documents the couple’s marriage in 2010 following Mr Quaye’s return from a brief stay in the United Kingdom in 2009.
The lawyers also cited court records indicating that the parties jointly established Quick Credit & Investment Micro-Credit Company Limited in 2011, with both listed as original shareholders. They alleged that Joana Quaye’s shares were subsequently transferred without her knowledge, describing the act as “secret and illegal.”
Additionally, they maintained that the company’s role in acquiring properties and establishing other businesses is well documented in court proceedings and cannot be revised through public statements.
Messrs. Dame & Partners argued that granting such an interview while appellate proceedings are ongoing constitutes an attempt to prejudice public perception and interfere with the fair administration of justice.
The firm disclosed that the appeal filed by Joana Quaye was served on Mr Quaye approximately two weeks ago, with the record of appeal duly settled in accordance with procedural rules.
Describing what they termed an “illicit motive” to obstruct justice through prejudicial media statements, the lawyers indicated that their client would refrain from public commentary and instead rely on the judicial process.
“Our client, Joana Quaye, will continue to maintain her silence and place her faith in the justice system of Ghana,” the statement said, expressing confidence in a just outcome and equitable distribution of assets acquired during the marriage.
The lawyers also urged the public to disregard claims suggesting pre-marital wealth on the part of Mr Quaye, characterising such assertions as unfounded and a “publicity stunt.” They concluded by affirming their belief that justice will ultimately be served.
