Joana Quaye, former wife of businessman Richard Nii Armah Quaye, has filed an application at the Divorce and Matrimonial Division of the Accra High Court seeking an injunction to prevent her ex-husband from selling or transferring a number of assets and company shares acquired during their marriage.
According to court documents filed by Dame & Partners on her behalf, Mrs. Quaye is asking the court to preserve the disputed properties and shareholdings pending the determination of an appeal related to the couple’s divorce settlement.
The application lists interests in several companies, residential properties, and luxury vehicles, which Mrs. Quaye argues were jointly acquired during the marriage and should be subject to equitable distribution. The companies named include Quick Credit, Quick Angels, Waterfall Engineering, Tigon Entertainment, Ridge Medical Centre, and CEQA Foods.
In an affidavit supporting the application, Mrs. Quaye stated that she met Mr. Quaye in 2002 after secondary school, with the pair later marrying in 2010. She claims she contributed financially and personally to his education and early business ventures, including support that helped establish Quick Credit Company Limited, now operating as Bills Micro Credit.
She further alleged that before their marriage, both parties operated a joint bank account and made investments together, proceeds of which were used to support Mr. Quaye’s studies in the United Kingdom. Upon his return to Ghana, she said they jointly explored business opportunities and invested personal savings into establishing a microfinance business.
Mrs. Quaye also claimed that in 2011, the couple jointly incorporated Quick Micro Credit and Investment Limited, with both serving as directors and shareholders. However, she alleged that her name was later removed from company records without her consent during the divorce proceedings.
The application also references residential properties located at Trasacco Estates, East Legon, Dansoman, and Mamprobi, in addition to several luxury vehicles believed to be part of the marital estate.
Mrs. Quaye is urging the court to preserve the assets until the appeal is determined, arguing that any sale or transfer could undermine the enforcement of a future judgment if the appeal succeeds.
She additionally raised concerns over aspects of the original divorce ruling delivered on January 20, 2026, contending that delays in obtaining the full written judgment affected her ability to fully pursue her appeal rights.
