RNAQ’s lawyers accuse Godfred Dame of misleading public in his ongoing marriage legal dispute
Lawyers for businessman Richard Nii Armah Quaye (RNAQ) have accused legal practitioner Godfred Yeboah Dame of misleading the public and breaching professional rules with a recent press statement.
In a letter dated April 28, 2026, Sory & Partners, acting on behalf of Mr. Quaye, responded to a press release issued by Mr. Dame on April 27.
The release was about comments Mr. Quaye made during an interview with media personality Deloris Frimpong Manso, popularly known as Delay, on the “Delay Show.”
Mr.Quaye’s lawyers said Mr. Dame’s decision to address the media on a matter currently before the courts was inappropriate.
They argued that such actions go against Rule 38 of the Legal Profession (Professional Conduct and Etiquette) Rules, 2020, which discourages lawyers from making public comments on ongoing cases.
According to them, his publication “undermines the administration of justice” and shows disregard for professional standards.
They also rejected claims made in the press release alleging that Mr. Quaye made statements in the interview that damaged the reputation of his client, Madam Joana Quaye.
They further disputed claims that their client was unemployed and had no property when he returned to Ghana in 2009.
According to them, this assertion is not supported by the High Court’s judgment.
On the issue of business interests, the lawyers said matters relating to the ownership and shareholding of Quick Credit & Investment Micro Credit Limited were not part of the divorce proceedings, contrary to Mr. Dame’s claims.
They denied allegations that Mr. Quaye abused Madam Quaye. They pointed to a High Court decision in November 2025, which upheld a submission of no case, as proof that such claims were unfounded.
The lawyers stressed that their client has not tried to interfere with the ongoing court process. They described accusations that he attempted to obstruct justice as “unjustified” and “imaginative.”
They added that issues relating to property distribution are currently on appeal and are therefore sub judice, meaning they should not be discussed publicly.
The legal team urged Mr. Dame to stop discussing the matter in the media and allow the courts to handle it.
They maintained that Mr. Quaye remains committed to following due process and will continue to respect the authority of the court as the case proceeds.

Muslims across the country celebrated this year’s Eid-ul-Adha in a colourful and spiritually uplifting atmosphere under the theme, “A Season of Sacrifice, Solidarity and Spiritual Renewal.”
The celebration brought together Muslims from diverse backgrounds in a remarkable display of faith, unity and cultural heritage.
The occasion was marked by special Eid prayers at various designated grounds, the slaughtering of rams in homes for sharing among family members, friends and the less privileged, as well as musical concerts and recreational activities including horse riding.
Leading the celebration was the Chief Imam, Dr Sheikh Osman Sharubutu.
While the national celebration was held at the Black Star Square where President John Dramani Mahama was the Special Guest of Honour, similar gatherings took place at different centres across the capital and other regions of the country.
A visit by The Spectator to some celebration grounds revealed Muslims, both young and old, elegantly dressed in colourful jalabiya and other Islamic attire, reflecting the rich culture and traditions of the Muslim community.
The celebration also portrayed the spirit of religious tolerance and peaceful coexistence in the country, as a number of Christians joined their Muslim counterparts to mark the occasion.
Muslim leaders and government officials used the opportunity to call on the faithful to uphold the teachings of the Holy Quran, renew their spiritual commitment and refrain from acts capable of undermining the peace, unity and security of the nation.
They further urged Ghanaians to continue to live in harmony and support one another for national development.

Dear Obaa Yaa,
During Eid-ul- Adha celebration, I decided to spend the weekend at my boyfriend’s place since we were planning towards our marriage.
To my surprise, what keeps me wide awake, restless and frustrated every single time is that he snores loudly like a generator running on full power, and I genuinely cannot get any rest
At a point, I thought it was just a normal thing, but I have realised it is something he does with ease and doesn’t see anything wrong with it.
When he steps out in the morning, I try to get enough sleep because I may not sleep in the evening.
The most annoying thing is that, he always wants to cuddle me. These two things are a no for me and a red flag.
We are about to get married, what should I do?
Enam, Keta.
Dear Enam,
The snoring and constant cuddling are frustrating, but you don’t have to choose between sleep and closeness.
Start with the snoring: check if it’s worse when he sleeps on his back, cut out alcohol before bed, try nasal strips or a humidifier, and see a doctor if he pauses while breathing.
For quick relief, foam earplugs or noise-cancelling headphones help a lot.
Separate blankets, a bigger bed, or sleeping apart on some nights often makes couples rest well and feel closer overall.
Bring this up before the wedding .Tell him you want to wake up next to him for years to come, but sleep deprivation makes you both miserable.
Test earplugs and side-sleeping this weekend, and if it’s still unbearable, bring in a doctor. Good sleep matters more for your marriage than staying glued together all night.
