Joana Quaye, the ex-wife of Ghanaian business mogul Richard Nii Armah Quaye, has sought a new injunction in her divorce settlement dispute with her ex-husband.

The Ghanaian mogul and his ex-wife have been embroiled in a fierce divorce settlement dispute in recent years that recently came to public attention.

Joana, who had been married to the businessman for 16 years and claims to have co-founded the company that built his fortune, had demanded a GH₵50 million settlement and other benefits in their divorce case, which has lingered for about four years.

However, the High Court in Accra, on January 20, 2026, awarded Joana Quaye just GH₵300,000, a one-third share of a house in Dansoman, and two Jaguar cars, among others.

The presiding judge, Justice Kofi Dorgu, a Court of Appeal justice who sat as an additional High Court judge in the case, thought Joana did not deserve what she was demanding.

In response to the ruling, which she deemed unfair, Joana appealed the judge's ruling at the Appeals Court, seeking big benefits.

Joana Quaye seeks an injunction over assets

According to a Citi News report, Joana Quaye has filed an injunction application at the Divorce and Matrimonial Division of the Accra High Court against her ex-husband, Richard Nii Armah Quaye.

In court documents filed by Dame and Partners, the businessman's ex-wife is seeking an injunction over the assets and company shares acquired during their marriage.

She is also requesting the court to restrict RNAQ from selling, transferring, or disposing of selected assets and shareholdings until her appeal against their divorce settlement has been determined.

The disputed assets at the heart of the injunction application include interests in several companies, including Quick Credit, Quick Angels, Waterfall Engineering, Tigon Entertainment, Ridge Medical Centre, and CEQA Foods.

The application also referenced residential properties in Trasacco Estates, East Legon, Dansoman, and Mamprobi, as well as several luxury vehicles, which she argues were acquired during their marriage and should therefore be subject to equitable distribution.

Joana also levelled some serious allegations against her ex-husband.
