Lawyers for businessman Richard Nii Armah Quaye, commonly known as RNAQ, have replied to claims made by the ex-wife’s lawyers over their client being unemployed and having no property after returning from the United Kingdom in 2009.
According to Sory & Partners, the legal team representing Richard Nii Armah Quaye, the claims made by Joana Quaye’s lawyers are not borne out by the judgment of the High Court, but are just to malign their client in public.
The divorce case has now turned into a full legal battle, as counsel trades statements.
Part of the statement noted, “…Your claim that our client was unemployed and had no property which he currently owns upon his return to the country in 2009 is not borne out by the judgment of the High Court, your statement therefore being made to simply malign our client with the public.”
“…Your claim that the issue of the shareholding of Quick Credit & Investment Micro-Credit Company Limited and matters related thereto are subject matters of the divorce proceedings is also not accurate, as your client’s case and reliefs before the Court did not relate to these matters,” the statement added.
Sory & Partners statement comes on the heels of Lawyers for Joana Quaye have refuted allegations made by her ex-husband, businessman Richard Nii Armah Quaye (RNAQ), during an interview with Delay, labelling the claims as “substantially untrue”.
According to Joana Quaye’s Lawyers, Richard Nii Armah Quaye’s self-serving ex post facto interview with ‘Delay’ cannot change the fact, arguing that the interview was a publicity stunt.
Lawyers for Joana Quaye detailed that the allegations made by RNAQ unfairly castigated the reputation and integrity of their client, Joana Quaye.
The lawyers detailed that the marriage between the parties in 2010 soon after Richard Quaye’s return from a short stay in the United Kingdom in 2009 (at a time that he was unemployed and had none of the properties he owns now) is a matter of public record – record of proceedings of the High Court, Accra dated 13th March, 2024 – and cannot be changed by a self-serving ex post facto interview with “Delay”.
They further disclosed that of the joint establishment of Quick Credit & Investment Micro-Credit Company Limited in 2011 by the couple after their marriage, with both Richard Nii Armah Quaye and Joana Quaye being the original shareholders.
They further urged the public to disregard the wild and unfounded claims of “richness before marriage” made by Richard Nii Armah Quaye, adding that their client will surely get justice for the wrongs and abuses she has suffered one fine day.
In a statement issued on Monday, April 27, by the law firm Messrs. Dame & Partners, the legal read, “The attention of the firm of Messrs. Dame & Partners has been drawn to a media interview granted by Mr Richard Nii Armah Quaye to a broadcaster, Deloris Frimpong Manso, also known as “Delay” on her show dubbed the “Delay Show” featured on a number of television stations in Ghana and widely circulated on the worldwide web. We hold the instructions of our client, Joana Quaye, to react as follows:
1. We note that the said interview was granted by Richard Nii Armah Quaye during the pendency of an appeal filed against the “Final Orders” of the High Court, Accra dated 20th January, 2026. In the interview, Mr. Quaye made allegations, which are all substantially untrue, relating to certain matters in contention between the parties to proceedings actively pending before the Court of Appeal. The allegations also unfairly castigated the reputation and integrity of our client, Joana Quaye
2. Whilst denying all the allegations made by Richard Nii Armah Quaye as untrue, We state that the fact of the marriage between the parties in 2010 soon after Richard Quaye’s return from a short stay in the United Kingdom in 2009 (at a time that he was unemployed and had none of the properties he owns now) is a matter of public record – record of proceedings of the High Court, Accra dated 13th March, 2024 – and cannot be changed by a self-serving ex post facto interview with “Delay”.
3. Similarly, the record of the joint establishment of Quick Credit & Investment Micro-Credit Company Limited in 2011 by the couple after their marriage with both Richard Nii Armah Quaye and Joana Quaye being the original shareholders, the subsequent secret and illegal transfer of Joana Quaye’s shares by Richard Nii Armah Quaye without the knowledge of our client, the use of Quick Credit to acquire properties and set up other companies, are also matters of public record and documented in court proceedings. This cannot be altered by Richard Nii Armah Quaye through a media interview with “Delay”.
4. We note that Richard Nii Armah Quaye granted the interview to “Delay” whilst the appellate proceedings in the Court of Appeal are active. We consider this as an effort to unfairly prejudice the minds of the public against our client and undermine and impede a fair administration of justice in the case. The appeal filed by Joana Quaye was duly served on Richard Nii Armah Quaye about two weeks ago, with the record of appeal subsequently settled in accordance with the rules of court. Mr Quaye’s illicit motive to obstruct the course of justice with the publication of prejudicial statements in the media is all too glaring.
5. Our client, Joana Quaye, will continue to maintain her silence and place her faith in the justice system of Ghana in the hope that she will get justice for the wrongs and abuse inflicted on her by Richard Nii Armah Quaye, as well as an equitable distribution of all the properties acquired during the marriage between the parties, as required under the laws of Ghana.
6. We entreat the public to disregard the wild and unfounded claims of “richness before marriage” made by Richard Nii Armah Quaye (highlighted by his claim of alleged ownership of a VW Passat), as well as the attacks on the reputation of our client, as a mere publicity stunt. Joana Quaye will surely get justice for the wrongs and abuses she has suffered one fine day. ENDI!!”
