Former MP speaks on Akosua Serwaa's lawsuit
The Ghanaian politician has opened up about his relationship with Justice Dorinda Smith Arthur, who presided over the case, insisting that he had no involvement whatsoever in the ruling.
In an interview with Gossip 24 aired on January 13, 2026, Prempeh explained that he only got to know the judge about five years ago through the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
At the time, he stated, she was a Circuit Court Judge in Cape Coast.
In a trending video, Prempeh stated that he has no friendship with the judge outside of their church premises and stressed that he had nothing to do with the ruling in favour of Odo Broni, the second wife of the late singer.
He claimed that they are not close friends and that he was unaware she had been promoted to High Court Judge and transferred to Kumasi.
He added that, although he lives in Accra and travels to Kumasi frequently, he only discovered her new posting after learning she had overseen the Akosua Serwaa case.
"All the allegations levelled against me are not true. I know Dorinda because we attend the same church. I first met her when she was a Circuit Court Judge in Cape Coast. We met at a church program, established contact, and began talking about five years ago.
"She’s not even really my friend like that. Until she presided over the Akosua Serwaa case, I had no idea she had been transferred to Kumasi as a High Court Judge. I thought she was still in Cape Coast.
"The allegation that I took care of her in school is not true because the first time I ever met her, she was already a High Court Judge. So how is it possible that I supposedly took care of her in school?"

Osei Kwame Prempeh discusses Odo Broni 'links'
Osei Kwame Prempeh also emphatically stated that he has never met Odo Broni or had any close relationship with her.
He questioned why he would have any reason to influence the ruling in her favour, adding that he would never grant such a request even if someone from her camp had approached him.
"I had no knowledge that she was the one presiding over the case until the first ruling came out. When Akosua Serwaa applied for an injunction and she presided over that ruling, it was only when I read it that I noticed Dorinda was the one handling the case. That was when I called to find out if she had actually relocated from Cape Coast to Kumasi."

Team Legal Wives accuses judge of bias
According to some Team Legal Wives members, their investigation allegedly showed that Prempeh had influenced Justice Arthur’s decision to reject Akosua Serwaa’s marriage certificate as valid evidence.
They further claimed that the politician had once cared for the judge during her school years, implying that she may feel indebted to him.
Justice Arthur ruled on November 28, 2025, that Akosua Serwaa’s evidence 'fell short of Sections 136 and 161', which require the plaintiff to provide the original marriage certificate from the Bornheim Marriage Registry and a corresponding certification from the Ghana Embassy in Germany.
The court noted that only an excerpt had been presented.
