Sharing his story during an appearance on Lawson Afisem, hosted by Maame Frimpomaa Korankye, he claimed that he had to end the marriage because his wife stole their landlord's cooking pot.
Ghanaian man divorces his wife for stealing
According to him, although there were several issues in the marriage, the final straw was when his wife took their landlord’s pot without permission, a move that caused tension in their home and neighbourhood.
“I couldn’t take the embarrassment and constant confrontations anymore,” he said on the show.
His ex-wife, who also appeared on the show, fired back at the claims, describing the man’s reason for divorcing her as 'stupid' and saying he was using it as a cover for deeper issues in their relationship.
She added that the real reason behind the breakdown was their daughter’s behaviour.
According to her, the child, a nursing trainee, had developed troubling habits, including stealing, and her husband had unfairly blamed her for their daughter’s misconduct.
The story from the Ghanaian man explained that the stealing of the cooking pot brought a lot of issues, and his inability to withstand them made him decide to divorce his wife.

"When the time comes for my divorce, as you are already wishing and sharing with others, I will come and tell you, okay. I am still here!"

The rumours initially surfaced during the 2024 elections when Sadiq, then the NDC’s parliamentary candidate for Okaikwei Central, reportedly had issues with Adiza after allegedly impregnating another woman.
Although the couple reportedly resolved their differences, the politician went on to marry a second wife, Zulaiha Dobia Abdullah, in an Islamic ceremony months later.
