The matter led to the collapse of their 20-year marriage, but disagreements between the couple over compensation to Miss Appiah led to a protracted legal tussle.
Following the divorce, Lamptey parted with his five bedroom house at Dome plus a sum of 400,000 cedis as alimony, but the wife insisted she wants the plush seven bedroom house located at East Legon as part of the alimony.
In July 2021, an appeal filed by Miss Appiah to own Odartey Lamptey’s plush East Legon residence was thrown out by the Court of Appeal.
But her appeal was once again not successful after the presiding judge considered her claims to be untenable.
This led the former Aston Villa and Anderlecht forward to live in a rented apartment with his new wife and children.
He however threatened to pursue the case to its reasonable conclusion and on Monday, 4th April, 2022 the court presided over by Cecilia Don Chebe ordered Odartey Lamptey to move into his residence by 5th April, 2022.
