76-Year-Old Ghanaian Woman Seeks Compensation from Ex-Fiancé for Alleged Cheating

Date:

In an unusual case highlighting relationship issues among seniors, a 76-year-old Ghanaian widow is seeking GH¢10,000 (approximately $850 USD) in compensation from her 64-year-old ex-fiancé for alleged infidelity. The matter came to public attention when it was aired on Nhyira FM’s popular “Obra” show, hosted by Mama Efe.

Eno Akua, the complainant, shared her story of heartbreak and betrayal on the radio program, which often deals with relationship conflicts. She claims that her quest for companionship in her twilight years has “ended in tears” due to the actions of her former partner, identified as Agya Sarfo.

According to Akua, she invested her life savings to establish a business for Sarfo and provided him with accommodation in her home. However, she alleges that once Sarfo became financially stable, he began cheating on her with younger women, whom she referred to as “small girls.”

“This conduct is causing me heartbreak,” Akua stated on the show, explaining her decision to end the relationship and seek compensation. The septuagenarian’s story has sparked discussions about vulnerability and trust in relationships among older adults in Ghana.

Agya Sarfo, present at the radio station, vehemently denied all allegations. He countered that Akua’s claims stem from jealousy and insecurity within their relationship. “This woman has really helped me, so I will never do anything to harm her, but she is very jealous. I have never cheated on her because she is a good woman,” Sarfo asserted during the broadcast.

Despite Sarfo’s denial and attempts to reconcile, Akua remains resolute in her decision to terminate the relationship. She dismissed his explanations as “sweet talks,” indicating she has had enough of what she perceives as dishonesty.

The case has attracted significant attention in Ghana, where radio shows like “Obra” often serve as informal arbitration platforms for domestic disputes. It highlights the complexities of relationships in later life and the financial and emotional vulnerabilities that can arise.

Legal experts consulted on the matter have noted that while moral support for Akua’s position exists, the legal basis for her compensation claim may be tenuous. Ghana’s legal system does not typically recognize financial claims based on relationship breakdowns unless there is a formal marriage or contract involved.
