Business mogul Richard Nii Armah Quaye, commonly known as RNAQ, has finally broken his silence over the brouhaha surrounding his divorce with her ex-wife, Joana Quaye.
According to RNAQ, 99% of the things being thrown out in the media and on social media aren’t true.
Speaking in a yet-to-be-released interview with Delay, circulating on social media on April 24, 2026, Richard Nii Armah Quaye stated, “I was working before I married her. I started my business before I married her. I started making money before I went to marry her, and I funded our wedding. If I didn’t have money, I couldn’t have married her, because we had a very luxurious wedding.
I had money before marrying her. I spent a lot of money marrying her. All the things you have heard, 99% of it isn’t true,” Nii Armah said.
His comments come after it has been alleged that his ex-wife paused school to support him.
In related news, Joana Quaye has hired former Attorney General Godfred Dame to appeal against a rather strange judgment of the High Court in Accra.
The High Court granted Mrs Joana Quaye only GHC300,000 out of the well-known vast fortune she built with the rich businessman.
She was married to Richard Nii Armah-Quaye for sixteen (16) years and has three (3) children with.
The information gathered suggests that RNAQ has been locked up in a bitter divorce case with Joana Quaye for the past four years.
The High Court presided over by Justice Kofi Dorgu on 20th January, 2026, in his final orders despite evidence showing that Richard Nii Armah Quaye established his famous company, Quick Credit & Investment Micro-Credit Limited (renamed Bills Micro Credit Limited) with Joana Quaye as shareholders, out of which RNAQ built his wealth and established numerous other companies, the judge granted to the wife only one-third share of a house at Dansoman, GHC300,000 as financial provision and GHC5,000 to be paid by RNAQ each month for the upkeep of all the three children.
Mrs. Quaye seeks from the Court of Appeal two orders from the Court of Appeal which are “an order setting aside the final orders of the judgment dated 20th January, 2026” and “an order granting to her an equitable share of all assets (immovable and movable) acquired during the subsistence of the marriage to RNAQ, including his shares and beneficial interests in all companies set up after the parties got married”.
However, Court documents and videos have surfaced online alleging that Ghanaian business mogul Richard Nii Armah Quaye (RNAQ) allegedly assaulted his ex-wife, Joana Coffie.
The court transcripts detail that in June 2014, Quaye allegedly assaulted his ex-wife shortly after she gave birth to twins.
According to Joana Coffie’s mother, who served as a witness to one of the alleged incidents, she detailed how her daughter was beaten after requesting that her husband transfer ownership of a car he had gifted her following the delivery.
The document read, “One day, I was with the parties’ children when I heard the petitioner crying out from the couple’s bedroom. I rushed to knock on the door, and the respondent came out and said there was no problem. However, upon my persistent questioning as to why the petitioner was crying, the respondent, who had a belt in his hand all that while, stated that he established his business because of his mother and sister, and so if the petitioner misbehaves, he will keep beating her”.
“He added that he had acquired a brand-new car for her, a Jaguar, as appreciation for safely delivering the twins, but the petitioner insisted that he transfer ownership of the car into her name, which generated an argument between them,” she said.
The court document also includes testimony from another witness, identified as Alfred Ankrah.
Alfred Ankrah detailed, “During the course of the couple’s marriage, I witnessed several forms of abuse and domestic violence meted out by the respondent against the petitioner. I have seen the respondent beating her with a belt. I can recall occasions when the respondent attempted to beat the petitioner in my presence, and I had to restrain him.
“On one occasion, the respondent wanted to beat the petitioner because he was angered that she had informed his mother about providing him with start-up capital for Quick Credit,” the statement detailed.
“I noticed that the petitioner had bloodstains in her nostrils, puffy eyes, and a swollen face. The next morning, when I asked what had happened, she tried to cover up for the respondent by saying she had been in a car crash.
“On another occasion, the respondent beat the petitioner severely, even in the presence of his own mother,” the statement expressed.
“…that the marriage was useless and that he would one day divorce her to live a single life because, according to him, marriage was like a prison.”
