The Family Court in Accra has adjourned proceedings in the ongoing divorce dispute between businesswoman Joana Coffie (petitioner) and her former husband, Richard Nii Armah Quaye (respondent).

The decision follows the submission of video evidence by the petitioner involving the respondent's girlfriend, Mona Faiz Montrage, popularly known as Hajia4Reall, which the court said it must first review.

According to a report by The LawPlatform dated June 3, 2026, explicit videos involving Hajia4Reall and described in legal documents as morally inappropriate; have been formally submitted to the court.

The footage forms part of an active application for maintenance orders pending appeal, as well as, a concurrent application for an injunction.

Joana Coffie is seeking orders to prevent Hajia4Reall from having access to her two children from the marriage.

She is also asking the court to limit the periods during which Richard Quaye can have access to the children.

In support of her application, Joana Coffie filed video evidence and other documents which she argues supports her claim that Hajia4Reall should not be allowed access to the children.

Court documents also reference Hajia4Reall's previous incarceration and lifestyle, stressing that Hajia4Real poses a risk to the upbringing of the children, aged 11 and 14.

The application further claimed that one of the children has adopted inappropriate social media behaviour.

The report further indicated that as part of the evidence before the court, lawyers for the petitioner submitted a video allegedly showing one of the children twerking for a boy at the family's Trasacco residence.

According to the application, the incident was brought to Richard Quaye's attention and he acknowledged that the conduct was inappropriate.

The petitioner also argues that Richard Quaye is often unavailable during the children's visits, leaving them in the care of Hajia4Reall, who reportedly lives with him.

Lawyers for Richard Quaye opposed the application and challenged the reliefs being sought.

Counsel for Richard Quaye, Nana Boakye Mensah-Bonsu, argued that the orders sought would directly affect Hajia4Reall, who is not a party to the case and has not been given the opportunity to respond to the allegations.

He told the court that granting the application without hearing from her would be contrary to the principles of natural justice.

The Law Platform further reported that the respondent's legal team questioned whether the court has jurisdiction to grant the orders being sought after judgment had already been delivered in the case.

However, the report added that counsel for Joana Coffie, Godfred Yeboah Dame, disagreed, arguing that the court's jurisdiction is grounded in the Matrimonial Causes Act and Order 65 Rule 23(3) and (4) of C.I. 47.

Dame further informed the court that the petitioner had no objection to Hajia4Reall being served with the application and given the opportunity to respond if the court deemed it necessary.

Following arguments from both sides, the court stated that it would first need to watch the video evidence submitted before considering the merits of the application.

The case has been adjourned to June 26, 2026, when the court is expected to view the videos, hear any additional arguments and proceed with the hearing of the pending applications.
