ACCRA, Ghana — Proceedings in the ongoing divorce dispute between Joana Quaye and businessman Richard Nii Armah Quaye (RNAQ) took a new turn on Tuesday, June 2, as the Family Court in Accra considered an application seeking to restrict access by socialite and entertainer Mona Faiz Montrage, popularly known as Hajia4Reall, to the couple’s children.
The application was presented during a hearing on a motion for maintenance orders pending appeal. The Petitioner is requesting orders to limit the children’s interaction with Hajia4Reall and reduce the periods during which they stay with the Respondent.
In support of the application, the Petitioner submitted video evidence and cited Hajia4Reall’s previous incarceration, arguing that her association with the children may not be in their best interests. The Petitioner further alleged that the children’s social media activities had been negatively influenced by their environment while in the Respondent’s care.
Court documents also referenced a video involving one of the children, which the Petitioner argued raised concerns about the child’s supervision and welfare. According to the filing, the issue was brought to the Respondent’s attention, and he acknowledged concerns regarding the child’s conduct.
The Petitioner additionally contended that the Respondent’s alleged unavailability during visitation periods resulted in the children spending significant time with Hajia4Reall and her child, who are said to reside with him.
Counsel for the Respondent, Nana Boakye Mensah-Bonsu, opposed the application, arguing that the requested orders would directly affect Hajia4Reall despite her not being a party to the proceedings. He maintained that granting such relief without giving her an opportunity to be heard could raise concerns regarding the principles of natural justice.
The Respondent’s legal team further argued that the reliefs sought were not available under the circumstances and challenged the court’s jurisdiction to issue such orders after judgment had already been delivered.
However, counsel for the Petitioner, Godfred Yeboah Dame, disagreed, contending that provisions under Order 65 Rule 23(3) and (4) of C.I. 47, together with the Matrimonial Causes Act, empower the court to make post-judgment orders where necessary.
Dame also indicated that the Petitioner would not oppose the court serving the application on Hajia4Reall and allowing her to participate in the proceedings if deemed appropriate.
Addressing the video evidence, counsel for the Respondent stated that his team would respond to its contents after the court had reviewed the material.
Following submissions from both parties, the court indicated that it would first examine the video evidence before making any determination on the application.
The matter has been adjourned to June 26, 2026, when the court is expected to review the video evidence, hear any further submissions arising from it, and consider the Petitioner’s pending motion for injunction.
