Lithur filed on May 2, 2018, to end their marriage. Addo contends that Lithur’s divorce petition contained lies, embarrassing her in the public eye.
Addo was described as an irresponsible mother, adulterous, cruel and violent person in the divorce petition.
A cost of GH¢5,000 was awarded against Addo after Lithur's lawyers had requested GH¢20,000.
Suggestion of infidelity
In Lithur's petition, he claimed Nana Oye has been receiving calls at odd hours that last longer than ordinary calls.
He claimed that the calls had initially been from Samuel Cudjoe, but later, another man known as James Yankah, whom he described as Nana Oye's 'childhood sweetheart', also started calling her at such times.
Lithur claimed that his wife invited Samuel Cudjoe to their house while he travelled abroad.
After he returned, he was told that the two were seen in a compromising position after they had dined together and alone.
The incident, he said, was common knowledge in their household.
