Deputy Chief of Staff Nana Oye Speaks About Judgment of RNAQ and Wife’s Divorce Case
- A High Court judge awarded RNAQ's ex-wife GH¢300,000, custody of their children and other reliefs when she filed for a divorce
- Justice Kofi Dorgu explained that the relief he granted was because Joana was physically attractive and could remarry
- However, several people, including Nana Oye Bampoe Addo, the Deputy Chief of Staff, have criticised the Judge's statement
Nana Oye Bampoe Addo, the Deputy Chief of Staff, reacted to some parts of a High Court judge's ruling in the divorce case between wealthy man Richard Nii Armah Quaye and his ex-wife Joana Quaye.
Justice Kofi Dorgu delivered his final judgment on the case on January 20, 2026.

The court awarded Joana Quaye one-third share of a house at Dansoman, GH₵300,000 in financial provision, and GH₵5,000 monthly for the upkeep of their three children and two cars.
The judge's ruling, according to The Law Platform, was meant to prevent 'frequent divorces with the expectation of reaping huge monetary benefits'.
Justice Kofi Dorgu added that Joana Quaye was still attractive and could remarry, hence his decision.
"The petitioner, who has been settled with 1/3 of the matrimonial home, the educational and health needs of the children are placed on the respondent, and her mobility issues are also taken care of. Physically, she is very much attractive and capable of remarrying anytime she felt like."
Nana Oye unhappy with Judge's explanation
However, reacting to the judgment, Nana Oye Bampoe Addo, the Deputy Chief of Staff, wondered what Joana Quaye's physical appearance had to do with a court judgment.
In a Facebook post, Nana Oye Bampoe Addo seemed amazed as to why such a thing would be said in a Ghanaian court in the times we are in.
"Physically, she is very much attractive and capable of remarrying anytime she felt like. Really????? From a court of the Republic of Ghana in the year 2026?? What has physical attraction and the capability of remarrying got to do with adjudicating on dissolution of a marriage?"

"As naive as I may sound, if it were the case of the petitioner that marriage has drained the best out of her physically, could that comment be entirely out of place?"
Mohammed Adam wrote:
"Remember, the judge added that marriage is not a business venture when someone will be expecting profits after divorce."
Veronica Abena Fantewah said:
"People will laugh, and I pity the wife materials and baby-making machines 🤣🤣😂😂. Very soon, men will pray for good marriages 😁😁."
Julian Ashun wrote:
"Looks like Ghana is deviating from the current trends elsewhere on divorce settlements. My opinion is that, especially when there are children involved, the settlement must protect them through the mother, by making an award that allows her to keep them in the ways they are accustomed."

"The statement sounds contradictory because marriage, as he indicated, is not for financial gains, so wherein lies her ability to marry again, and what would a second marriage potentially do for her."
