In a legal dispute, Otu, a young Ghanaian entrepreneur based in Tema, has taken legal action against his ex-partner, Mercy Agyei, a contract staff at ABSA Bank, following the end of their relationship. Otu asserts that he provided financial support throughout their six-year connection, sponsoring Mercy's education, establishing a business for her mother, and taking care of various financial obligations.

According to Otu, their journey began in Kumasi, where he proposed marriage and subsequently financed Mercy's university education. As the relationship progressed, Otu relocated Mercy to Tema at the suggestion of her mother. In Tema, she pursued an HND program at Accra Technical University and later a degree at KNUST, all funded by Otu. Additionally, Otu claims to have supported Mercy's younger brother and facilitated accommodation for her mother.

The situation took an unexpected turn when Mercy, after securing employment at ABSA Bank, informed Otu of her decision to end the relationship. Feeling betrayed and seeking compensation for his investments, Otu has taken the matter to the Kumasi Circuit Court, demanding Ghc 350,000. The case is currently pending, with proceedings adjourned until February 20, 2023. Stay tuned for further updates on this unfolding story.
