Edwin Gyimah homeless amid family dispute
Former Black Stars defender Gyimah recently opened up about a painful personal ordeal, claiming his football career was derailed by issues within his own family.
The 35-year-old has been unattached to a club and said he was struggling to survive since parting ways with South African league club Sekhukhune United in 2024.
Gyimah's life off the pitch has taken an unfortunate turn, with allegations of ongoing disputes involving his family and spiritual interference leaving him in distress.
During an emotional interview on Oyerepa FM in Kumasi, he struggled to hold back tears as he told the host, Auntie Naa, how his life had unravelled in recent years.
“I have been sidelined. I don’t get contracts anymore. Last year, I had about 21 offers, but I couldn’t sign any. I asked my family for help, but they didn’t assist me. They live in an eight-bedroom house I built, yet I don’t even have a place to stay.
“My sister said she would give me GH₵50,000 if I transferred ownership of my house to her. Now, she is accusing me of trying to sell the house and make her homeless. At the moment, I am the one without a home.”
