Veteran sports journalist Dan Kwaku Yeboah has disclosed that former Ghanaian footballer Nii Odartey Lamptey has kept a tattoo of the three children belonging to his ex-wife, Gloria Appiah.
He explained that during an interview with the ex-footballer, he was shocked to see the tattoo of the children, whom DNA tests had proven did not belong to him.
However, when quizzed on the reason for keeping the tattoo, Lamptey indicated that he has forgotten about the issue and was not worried when he sees it.
“Sometime ago, I was interviewing Odartey Lamptey, and I realized he had a tattoo on his upper arm. So, I asked him, and he said it’s the image of the children whose DNA test proved they were not his children.
“So, I asked how he feels when he sees it, and he responded that he has forgotten about it and has no intention of removing it. If I were him, I would have removed the tattoo,” he said in Twi while speaking on Peace FM.
About Odartey Lamptey’s divorce saga
The marriage between Odartey Lamptey and Gloria Appiah hit the rocks in 2013 after a DNA test revealed that the three children he had raised for years were not his biological children.
Odartey Lamptey recounted that close friends advised him to undertake a DNA test on the kids after receiving many recordings of his ex-wife’s activities. He, therefore, did the DNA test, which he described as a defining moment that resulted in a divorce.
After the divorce, the footballer had to relinquish his five-bedroom house in Dome and pay GH¢400,000 in alimony to his ex-wife.
He is now married to Ruweida Yakubu. Their union started in 2014. Odartey has three children with Ruweida, consisting of two girls and a boy.
