Former Ghana and Anderlecht star Nii Odartey Lamptey says he is ready to start his life again after securing a divorce from his estranged wife Gloria Lamptey.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Lamptey on Wednesday (June 14, 2017) granted a divorce from Gloria after a protracted legal battle (three years) over how their assets would be shared.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The court presided over Justice Cecilia Don-Chebe Agbevey allocated Mr Lamptey’s property at Dome as well as 40 percent of a GHc500,000 sum as alimony to his ex-wife.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The 21-year relationship between the married couple hit the rocks in 2013 after DNA results revealed that he was not the biological father of their three children.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, Lamptey says although he has lost some of his properties to Gloria in the ruling, he is happy to be a free man.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“…today, with the final judgement, I thank God that my properties, my school and others I have kept them. She can take the little awarded her. Today the divorce has been granted and that burden that was on me is gone. Now, I\u2019m a free and happy man, ready to start life again,\u201d Lamptey said in an interview with Accra-based Kasapa FM after the verdict was announced.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI thank God for taking me through this fight successfully because I didn\u2019t know how far I could go. I\u2019m grateful that the toils that I have gone through for the past 21 years did not go in vain. Though I\u2019ve lost a few properties, I\u2019m very content that at the end of this case, I have retained most of them and I\u2019m still alive too.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Lamptey who had two biological children with his girlfriend, former Ghana\u2019s Most Beautiful finalist and actress Ruweida Yakubu during his separation from his ex-wife also disclosed that he nearly committed suicide when he found out that he was not the father of three kids he catered for 21 years.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was informed that the [three] children were not mine, I know how I felt. Playing the role of a father to children I thought were mine for 21 years and realising otherwise later, I nearly committed suicide. God gave me renewed energy and courage to withstand these pains and today, I can say I have gotten over them all.\u201d<\/p>\n
