“I sometimes shed tears when I’m alone in my room. My children sometimes encourage me and ask me not to cry again”.
After winning the second appeal, Odartey Lamptey is now clear to drive his ex-wife out the mansion in East Legon.
“We will do whatever now to move her from the house, as soon as possible,”- he told Kasapa FM in another interview
