She said this came after she convinced him to sign divorce papers so he could marry another woman in his host country and gain the necessary documents, after which she could later join him.

Now feeling betrayed, Gifty said the husband's actions suggest the marriage is over. However, she wants compensation and full custody of their two children.

Quizzed by the host on how much she would deem appropriate, Gifty hesitantly responded, saying GH¢500,000.

The young lady, at one point, could not contain her tears as she narrated the support she had offered her husband over the years, only to be treated this way.

“I know the marriage is over, but I want him to compensate me and also allow me to have custody of our two children,” she told Auntie Naa.

@SammyTuga-j8v3s opined:

“Gradually, Auntie Naa is losing control over the programme. How can you allow your panellists to talk and shout at your guest anytime they want?”

@NkoneTV stated:

“Gifty, you have done all these and you are also demanding such an amount? Shame. Brotherhood is proud of George.”

@alhassansulemana3345 wrote:

“I wish Auntie Naa would deny this lady compensation because she doesn't deserve anything from this guy. Please, Auntie Naa, no second chance because she won't change. If this guy should consider her again and take her to America, she will let them deport himmark it.”
