Francis Wiredu, a Ghanaian living in Italy, has recounted his story, which concerns his wife.
He claims that his wife was “advised” to divorce him by someone he believes to be a friend and that this “advice” occurred just as he was arranging for her to travel to Italy to live with him.
In an interview with SVTV Africa, he disclosed that his friend had informed his wife that he was likely having an extramarital affair with a woman in Italy.
He stated in his submission;
“I came to Ghana every two years. I have records of all the monies I’ve sent to her, but she told my family members that I wasn’t feeding her and that we had no communication. I sacrificed a lot to process her passport, visa and ticket. I even had to move into a new apartment because the old one was not big enough for the four of us. A week before her flight was due, she told my family that she was not interested in the marriage anymore.
“Due to our jobs, we don’t find time to go out for such things. It is even difficult for me to go to the bar once a year. You are always tired. I won’t have that trust to keep her here while I stay in Italy.”
