Edwin Gyimah recently reclaimed his residence in Obuasi after dragging his sister and some family members to Auntie Naa's Oyerepa Afutuo show over a dispute that had persisted between them in recent years
During the emotional interview, the 35-year-old ex-Orlando Pirates defender struggled to hold back tears as he described how his life had unravelled after his footballing career dwindled.
Gyimah alleged that spiritual attacks from family members had contributed to his sudden decline, insisting that the very people he trusted had taken everything from him.
The ex-Black Stars player, who was financially stable during his playing days, stated that he, his wife, and his children were now living in difficult conditions in Ghana.
Gyimah accused his family, especially his sister Felicia, of neglect and illegally taking over his eight-bedroom house while he and his close family remained homeless and financially unstable.
The ex-Black Stars player also engaged in a heated exchange with his sister, whom Auntie Naa questioned about the allegations during the show.
On Wednesday, April 15, Gyimah accompanied Auntie Naa's team and police officers as they stormed his Obuasi house to evict his family.

He stated that the children were allowed to visit their parents at home during the weekends.
The proprietor also explained that Edwin's children had been exempted from paying tuition and other fees as part of efforts to help the embattled footballer amid his financial struggles.
He said:
"The children are staying in the school. We have given them a boarding-in stay. They go home to connect with their family during the weekends. Their feeding fee is part. Breakfast, lunch and supper are part. All the books they will need until they complete school are part."
"They don't have any school fees problem. Montessori schools are usually expensive, but the children have been exempted from everything. They won't pay for anything."
In an interview, Edwin expressed gratitude to his old friend for the massive support towards himself and his family amid their financial issues.
