The magistrate court in the Cape Coast on Wednesday witness the legal separation between Hon. Ernest Arthur, Cape Coast Metropolitan Assembly Chief Executive and his wife, Mrs. Hetty Arthur.(locally known as Maame Efua)
Hon. Ernest Arthur accused his wife for inability to perform his marital rites. He said, his wife has refused to cook for him and also do the washing for him. He therefore filed for divorce at Cape Coast magistrate court. They have married for 14 years besides dating from school time. They have 3 children; 2 boys and 1 girls.
The wife on the other side said, his husband had been having extra marital affair, resulting in a baby by name Maggie. She also noted that he is currently dating a lady by name Abigail who was posted to his office to do her National Service there.
Abigail Okorie, a graduate from the the University of Cape Coast Who is currently doing her national service has allegedly been having office affairs with Mr. Arthur. As reports suggest, Abigail Okorie is currently pregnant for Mr. Arthur.
According to the reports, the husband filed for divorce upon confronting him and consistently asking him to desist from such act which is tarnishing his image as the MCE.
Mr. Arthur considered his wife(then) confrontations about his unsolicited affairs a bother hence the filing of the divorce papers.
According to reports, and as petty as it may sound, Hon. Ernest Arthur has allegedly removed the E.C.G meter they both acquired to operate a cold store a week after the separation without informing her.
