Speaking on Oyerepa FM on Thursday, April 29, 2026, the woman's alleged husband, Yaw Charles, recounted how living arrangements had been made in their family house due to the clashes between his wife and members of his extended family.
As a result, Yaw Charles claimed he had rented a separate apartment for Mercy while he remained in the family house, adding that she stays there with their only daughter.
In a report sighted on GhanaWeb, he explained that he started suspecting Mercy of having an affair with a young man who stayed in the same apartment he had rented for her.
"One day, I met a young man there, and when I asked questions, I was told he was my daughter's boyfriend. I asked why he was living with them, and I was told he had sustained a leg injury and was there to receive treatment," he said.
Yaw Charles said although he initially accepted the explanation, he later became more suspicious after observing the young man's inappropriate interactions with his wife.
"One day, I visited my wife unannounced. I could hear some sounds in the room which made me suspicious. So, I started shouting my wife's name. The young man came out with a towel wrapped around his waist. He called my wife, only for her to come out partially unclothed. I confronted my wife, but she denied it," he added.
Following this, Charles said he informed his daughter about what her mother was up to in the house.
Also speaking on the same Oyerepa FM how, hosted by Auntiee Naa, the daughter confirmed she confronted her mother about the allegations, but she never denied them.
"When my father told me, I did not believe it, but when I asked my mother, she told me I couldn't handle the man, which was why she snatched him from me," the daughter narrated.
Mercy says she will marry the young man
When contacted for her side of the story, Mercy said the man is not her daughter's boyfriend, adding that she met him after a misdialled call.
According to her, she was dialling a number when she mistakenly called the young man; however, after speaking to him on the phone for a few hours, he told her that he was injured.
Being a sympathetic person, Mercy said she asked the man to come to her house so she could treat his wounds, which he agreed to.
When the conversation on Oyerepa FM became heated between Mercy and her daughter, she retorted that she was going to marry the young man, suggesting that preparations were underway.
