AN Accra court on Tuesday, 31 October 2023, ruled that former Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan is the biological father of the three children of Gifty Gyan.
The case, which has been in court for the last three years, sparked a conversation due to the fame of the former Sunderland and Al Ain player who is Africa’s leading scorer at a FIFA World Cup tournament.
Gyan, 37, and Gifty have been in court following the footballer’s allegation of infidelity against his ex-wife and his claim that he possibly did not father their three children.
A DNA test proved his claims were wrong as it was scientifically found that he was the children’s biological father.
Delivering the verdict, the court charged Asamoah Gyan to pay his ex-wife, Gifty Gyan, a sum of twenty-five thousand Ghana Cedis (GHc25,000) every month for the welfare and upkeep of their three children.
This amount excludes school fees for the three children, medical and dental care fees, and flight tickets for travel, among other costs that may come with raising children.
Asamoah Gyan’s house in the United Kingdom has also been given to Gifty plus another four-bedroom house in Ghana.
One of Asamoah Gyan’s businesses, a gas station at Prampram has been handed over to Gifty with a BMW car owned by the Black Stars ex-international going to his former partner.
Meanwhile, the former Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan has reacted to the news surrounding the divorce settlement details between him and his ex-wife Gifty Gyan.
Following a post on Ameyaw Debrah, Gyan replied to the post, writing on his X (formerly Twitter) page with over one million followers:
“If I have 10pts and I keep quiet cos I’m mature, and you have 2 pts and you going find public sympathy, then it’s cool. You are very funny. This is deep so think about it.”
Most of Gyan’s audience did not understand the cryptic message left under the post by the Black Stars ex-captain and gave their feedback in quoted replies.
