A young woman from Tanoso in the Ashanti Region, identified as Yaa Dede, has confronted her former boss and lover, Sam Darko, on live television, demanding a staggering 30 billion old cedis (equivalent to GH¢3 million) in compensation for what she describes as emotional deception and betrayal.
Appearing on Sompa Nkomo, a social programme on Sompa TV hosted by controversial Ghanaian broadcaster Oheneni Adazoa, Yaa Dede shared a tearful account of how her relationship with her former boss turned sour after she discovered he was married.
“Someone really did me bad and I’m very pained,” she began.
Yaa explained that she was employed at a company owned by Sam Darko, who after seven months of working there, began offering her rides home. Despite her initial resistance, she eventually accepted, leading to tension with her then-boyfriend who suspected infidelity and eventually ended their relationship.
Following her breakup, Yaa says Sam Darko took advantage of her vulnerable state and proposed a romantic relationship, falsely claiming that his wife had passed away.
“He later proposed to me and I agreed, so, we started dating, but he never took me to his house, always hotels. He said his mother and sister were troublesome so as a result he cannot take me to his house,” she narrated.
Yaa said she later demanded to be taken to his home or to end the relationship, but he refused.
“He said he had invested in me and wouldn’t let me go because he has supported me and my mother which is true, he has really helped me but he has deceived me that is what is paining me,” she revealed.
Yaa further detailed that her turning point came when a woman, claiming to be Sam Darko’s wife, visited her at work.
“She told me that her husband had spoken highly of me and they were planning to promote me. That was when I realized I had been deceived. He never told me he was married,” she said.
“They told me that the company is not for him and the wife is the boss, so he has really deceived me and I want 30 billion as compensation from him.”
In response, Sam Darko, who also appeared on the programme, admitted to lying about his marital status.
He justified the lie by accusing Yaa of constantly demanding money from him which led him into proposing to her.
He further claimed he had intentions of marrying Yaa as a second wife and insisted he would not pay her any money should she decide to leave the relationship.
