The Communications Director at the Presidency, Eugene Arhin has responded to claims made by his wife in a suit she has filed at the Matrimonial Division of the Accra High Court.
Filed on Wednesday, February 10, 2020, the suit accuses Eugene Arhin of physically abusing his wife Gloria Assan Arhin, committing adultery, among others.
In the meantime, Eugene has responded to the claims saying, it is not right for an issue of that nature to get to the public.
He also wrote in his Facebook post that some of the things stated in the writ are untrue.
“I have seen a divorce petition filed by my wife, which has been deliberately leaked all over social media obviously to achieve a certain effect. I have still not been served with these court processes, and, upon receipt, my lawyers will respond accordingly,” he noted.
Eugene also added: “Every marriage has challenges, and such challenges should not be addressed in the court of public opinion. I will not, for the sake of my children, and for the dignity of my wife, engage in any public banter. In as much as many of the claims leveled against me are baseless and untrue, especially with respect to properties and physical abuse, I will hold my peace and deal with them in the Court of Law.”
According to the writ, they started encountering problems in their marriage after Mr Arhin was appointed as Director of Communications at the Office of the President.
“The Respondent shortly after his appointment as the Director of Communications started behaving in very unusual ways towards the Petitioner and the Children and continued on this path until the relationship between the parties deteriorated completely.
“The marriage between the parties has for the past about four (4) years suffered irreparable damage and setbacks and all efforts by the parties and their families at amicable resolution have all failed.”
The writ said Mr Arhin has on several occasions informed his lawfully wedded wife that he is no longer interested in marriage, having even moved out of their residence.
“That the Respondent has committed and keeps committing adultery, deserted the Petitioner and behaved unreasonable towards the Petitioner and by reason of the said treatment and conducts of the Respondent, the marriage has broken down beyond reconciliation and all attempts aimed at resolving the challenges have proven futile.”
Mrs Arhin also noted that Mr Arhin abused her “both physically and verbally at the slightest opportunity for over a year now”.
She said Mr Arhin has been seeing a woman called Chantel Kudjawu and he “has a child of about a year old with another woman”.
