“The last time me or the kids set eyes on Anthony Annan was two years ago when he came to perform the naming ceremony of our last child. He accused me of infidelity and said he was no longer interested in the marriage.”
She further explained that although Annan has called for a divorce, the necessary requirements needed to be done in order to enforce the divorce has not been done by the player.
"As at now, I do not know if I am still married to him because my family never accepted his request for a divorce and we have also not legally divorced since we married under ordinance marriage.”
When asked if Annan caters for the kids, she said, “He occasionally sends some money for the kids but it’s not enough to cater for all their needs.”
He has netted two goals in 64 caps for the Black Stars.
