Former Ghanaian footballer Nii Odartey Lamptey bravely opened up about a painful chapter in his life: the discovery that his three children with ex-wife Gloria Appiah were not biologically his.
This revelation, confirmed by a DNA test, left Lamptey emotionally devastated. In a shocking confession, he admitted contemplating violence during this period.
However, he found the strength to overcome these dark thoughts, crediting divine intervention for stopping him from acting on them.
“I had to control my anger,” Lamptey emphasized. He recognized the potential consequences of his rage, stating, “I could have ended up in prison. And I wouldn’t have my three children now.” This experience serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of self-control in difficult moments.
The situation escalated into a legal battle over property. Gloria Appiah’s claim to Lamptey’s primary residence was dismissed by the court.
In 2017, a settlement was reached, awarding Appiah a different property, a car, and financial compensation.
Despite the emotional rollercoaster, Lamptey has found happiness again. He is married to actress Ruweida Yakubu, and they share three children.
Nii Odartey Lamptey’s story is a testament to his resilience. He overcame a traumatic experience and has built a fulfilling life for himself and his family.
