Lawyers for Joana Quaye have denied claims made by her estranged husband, businessman Richard Nii Armah Quaye, during a recent media interview with broadcaster Deloris Frimpong Manso.
They described the assertions as false and prejudicial to ongoing court proceedings.
In a press statement dated April 27, 2026, the legal firm Dame & Partners, led by Godfred Yeboah Dame, said the interview, aired on the widely viewed “Delay Show”, contained substantially untrue claims that undermine the reputation and integrity of their client.

The lawyers indicated that the interview was granted while an appeal is pending before the Court of Appeal, following a High Court ruling delivered on January 20, 2026. They argued that discussing contested issues publicly at this stage risks prejudicing the case and interfering with the administration of justice.
According to the statement, the appeal, filed by Joana Quaye, had already been duly served on Mr. Quaye, with records of appeal settled in line with court procedures.
The law firm maintained that several matters raised in the interview are already firmly established in court records and cannot be altered through media commentary. These, according to the lawyers, include the marriage between Joana Quaye and Richard Nii Armah Quaye in 2010, shortly after his return from the United Kingdom, the joint establishment of Quick Credit & Investment Micro-Credit Company Limited in 2011, and their status as original shareholders of the company.
The statement further alleged that Joana Quaye’s shares in the company were secretly and illegally transferred without her knowledge, and that company resources were used to acquire properties and establish other businesses.
The legal team accused Mr. Quaye of attempting to sway public opinion through the interview, describing it as a deliberate effort to damage their client’s reputation and influence perceptions while the case remains active in court.
They urged the public to disregard claims suggesting Mr. Quaye possessed significant wealth before the marriage, including references to ownership of a vehicle, characterizing such assertions as unfounded and misleading.
Joana Quaye, through her lawyers, says she will refrain from further public commentary and instead rely on the judicial process to address the dispute.
Her legal team expressed confidence that the courts will ensure justice, including what they described as a fair and equitable distribution of marital assets in accordance with Ghanaian law.
