In an exclusive  interview with The Enquirer newspaper Monday, this week, she said that  every single portion of the article by Doe-Vormavor was wrong because he  concocted the story to suit whoever hired him to do so.<br \/>\nAccording  to her, the man at the centre of the controversy, Mr. Jerry Oscar Kobla  Doe, is alive and not dead at all. \u201cI learnt that the man is residing  somewhere in Accra, but I don\u2019t know the exact location,\u201d she said.<br \/>\nMadam  Benyiwa Doe told The Enquirer that she met Mr. Doe in the early 70s  while he was teaching mathematics at the Achimota School in Accra, while  she was working at the University of Ghana as an accounts officer. \u201cWe  got married in 1973, after which my husband left for Nigeria and in 1977  after seeking leave of absence from the University authorities I joined  him in that country,\u201d she said.<br \/>\nMadam Benyiwa Doe, who sounded  claim throughout the interview, told The Enquirer that she returned to  Ghana In 1979 and joined her former place of employment. \u201cI joined the  revolutionary at the period and fully participated in all activities at  the time,\u201d she said.<br \/>\n\u201cAt all material times, I never hid from the  public and, indeed, if I was wanted by the authorities in Nigeria, as  the so-called Doe Vormawor, sought to portray, they could have come for  me easily,\u201d she added.<br \/>\nShe told The Enquirer after waiting for  some time for her husband whom she was expecting to join her, she went  to court for a divorce.<br \/>\n\u201cIt was only in 1993 that the court granted me the divorce and since then I have been living my life,\u201d she said.<br \/>\nAsked  why she is still keeping the husband\u2019s name, though she had been  granted the divorce, the Central Regional Minister said that she did not  want to change names.<br \/>\nMadam Benyiwa Doe told The Enquirer that  because Doe-Vormavor was doing the wrong bidding for whoever sent him,  he could not simply mention the name of his uncle he claimed he was  fighting for.<br \/>\n\u201cIt is also unfortunate that Doe-Vormavor could not  simply tell the world where his uncle he is claiming is dead hailed  from,\u201d she said.<br \/>\nAccording to her, Mr. Doe, her ex-husband, comes  from Wusuta in the Kpando District of the Volta Region and anybody who  cares could check from his family whether he is dead or not.<br \/>\n\u201cI  don\u2019t know what prompted the gentleman to come out with such a concocted  story and what he intends achieving out of it,\u201d she said.<br \/>\nSource: The Enquirer<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Central Regional Minister, Ama Benyiwa Doe, has finally broken her silence on allegations that she poisoned and killed her husband in far away Nigeria, claiming the story, posted on Ghanaweb by Dennis Doe-Vormavor and given prominence by the \u2018Daily Guide\u2019 newspaper recently, was simply \u201cfar from the truth and simply outrageous.\u201d \u201cI simply decided [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-275826","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
