Eugene Arhin’s Wife Files For Divorce, Cites Adultery, Abuse
Wife of the Director of Communications at the Presidency, Eugene Arhin, Gloria Assan Arhin, has filed for divorce at an Accra High Court, over alleged acts of abuse and extra marital affairs by her husband.
Among other things, Gloria Assan Arhin has prayed the court to order her husband to pay her a sum of GHS2 million as compensation.
According to Mrs. Gloria Arhin, her husband currently has a child with one of his numerous girlfriends by name Chantel Kudjawu.
In the writ filed at an Accra High Court, Gloria Assan Arhin listed 16 flats at Bubuashie owned by Eugene Arhin. 16 flats at Weija, a 16-Storey building at Teshie, and a house at AU Village. A House at La, another house at Senya Berekum. Another House at the waterfront in Ada Foah. A 5-bedroom house at East Legon which is the matrimonial home of the couple on a 2 plot of land at East Legon and the 3K barbering shop at Teshie all acquired by the couple over the past few years.
Mrs Arhin also listed one Ford F 150 vehicle, Toyota Avalon vehicle with registration number GR 7108 -18, Toyota Lexus vehicle with registration number GE 4646-18, Toyota Tundra vehicle with registration number GE 7108-18, and Hyundai Elantra vehicle with registration number GE 4646-19.
She is therefore praying for the court to appropriately compensate her for the time and resources they both dedicated in acquiring the above properties.
Mrs Arhin disclosed that prior to acquiring these properties, she and her husband cohabited with her sister before they saved and managed to rent their own place to move, somewhere in 2012. At the time, she was the highest earner in the family as she worked with Charter House, sold kids diapers among other things to support her husband who was then a mere Research Assistant at Danquah Institute seconded to support then candidate Akufo-Addo.
She alleged also that Eugene Arhin sometimes stays out with other women and when confronted he gets angry and subjects her to physical abuse.
“When I confront him on it, he yelled at me and sometimes verbally, emotionally, psychologically, and physically abused me in the presence of our children. Respondent [husband] told me in one of the verbal abuses that I was not woman enough for him that is why he is involved with these other women.”
She further revealed that after their third child, her husband deceived her to undergo Tubal Ligation/Female sterilization (a procedure which effectively makes it impossible for her to get pregnant again) based on the promise /assurances from the husband that he did not want any more kids and that the three children were enough only for him to in less than two (2) years go ahead and have a child with another woman.
According to the wife, her husband, knowing very well that, he did not want the marriage again, failed to disclose same to her but misled her to have a Tubal ligation only for him to start a new family in less than a year after the procedure.
