Popular UK-based Ghanaian musician, Reggie Zippy, has reportedly been arrested by the UK police over what it describes as a non-molestation order against his ex-wife.
In a post shared by Phelipe Lyks Wangyims, who claims to be a close associate of the musician, he noted that Reggie Zippy had been picked up by UK police due to a complaint filed by his ex-wife, Edith Ward.
In the post, Phelipe Lyks Wangyims explained that Reggie Zippy’s ex-wife caused his arrest due to a post he made earlier.
“Yesterday was my brother Reggie Zippy’s birthday, but because of how extremely busy I was at work, I only remembered late in the day to send him a public birthday message, to call him later that evening to wish him properly.
“I tried calling him later, both his phones were off. I assumed maybe he was just spending some quiet time with his girlfriend, Afia Broni, until I got a message from Afia saying she couldn’t find him. She had driven around to all his usual hangout spots, but still no sign of him. That’s when the worry kicked in,” he said.
Phelipe further explained how Reggie’s new lover, Afia Broni, got the information about the musician’s arrest after hours of searching.
“Eventually, it made sense to contact the police, and to our shock, we found out that Reggy had been arrested.
“Because his ex-wife Edith reported him for violating a non-molestation order, all because of a Facebook post he made that she has interpreted to mean he was talking about her,” he added.
Background:
Reggie Zippy and his ex-wife have had a series of public back-and-forths online following the barrage of issues that surrounded their divorce.
Recently, in December, fans were pleased to see Reggie sharing joyful photos with his ex-wife and children, updating the public on their progress with co-parenting.
Also, in a Facebook post on April 10, 2025, the musician claimed that his ex-wife has been subjecting him to emotional torment.
According to him, Edith Ward is sabotaging his relationship with their children by turning them against him, despite his continued efforts to keep them happy.
Reasons for divorce
During their split, which was witnessed on social media, Edith Ward revealed that she filed for divorce due to issues such as infidelity, lies, alcohol abuse, and financial neglect.
She accused Reggie Zippy of being involved in an extramarital affair with a white woman for two to three years and stated that his failure to provide financially forced her to work tirelessly to support the family.
“I walked away and filed for divorce after you betrayed our marriage. Lies, deceit, constant cheating, and financial abuse made me work day and night to save my family. My love and patience weren’t enough, so I decided to save myself and my children,” parts of her Instagram post read in September 2023.
