Actor Edward Akwasi addresses legal dispute as ex-wife files claim to shared properties
Ghanaian actor Edward Akwasi has addressed recent legal action pursued by his former wife who claims entitlement to several properties they shared during their marriage. According to the legal filing the properties include real estate investments and jointly acquired assets, and the ex-wife is demanding legal recognition of her share.
Akwasi has responded publicly rejecting allegations of wrongdoing. He has stated that he will cooperate fully with the courts and legal process, and asked the public and media to respect his family’s privacy while the matter is resolved. He reaffirmed his commitment to abide by the final court decision.
According to sources close to the actor, the disputed assets include houses and real estate investments in Accra and other regions. The ex-wife contends that she contributed financially during acquisition or maintenance and that this grants her a legitimate claim under property and marital law.
Legal experts reviewing the case note that the outcome will depend heavily on documentation. Ownership records purchase agreements receipts and proof of contribution by both parties will be crucial. Without clear evidence the court may find it difficult to grant ownership shares.
Observers say the case highlights the importance of formal agreements and clear legal documentation when couples acquire high value assets during marriage. Celebrities and public figures are not exempt from these obligations, and misunderstandings frequently arise when documentation is unclear or informal.
Many in the entertainment community have refrained from public comment, acknowledging the sensitivity of personal and legal issues. Some have called for patience until the judiciary completes its review. Others stress the need for respect for privacy and fairness for all parties involved.
Civil society advocates have urged media houses and the public to avoid sensational coverage. They argue that speculative reporting can harm reputations and complicate ongoing legal processes. They emphasise that until a court pronounces judgment, all parties should be presumed innocent in respect to claims.
As proceedings begin the public watches closely. The outcome of this case may set precedent for how asset disputes among public figures are handled in Ghana under marital and property laws. For now the actor’s reputation and professional career remain intact, even as the legal matter unfolds.
