Ex-Japan Ambassador accused of infidelity; threats on wife

Wife of ex-Ghana Ambassador to Japan is accusing her husband of 'shameless' infidelity and threats on her life.

Mrs Brempong-Yeboah told Joy News' Beatrice Adu her husband Dr. Charles Brempong-Yeboah hounded her out of her matrimonial home amidst several threats on her life.

She had early on reported the matter to the Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit (DOVVSU) fearing her husband could harm her.

According to her, her husband once assaulted her but decided not to report the case to the police because of his stature and the future of their child.

But after two threats on her life by him, and charges of stealing his car hanging around her neck, she decided to break her silence.

Mrs Brempong-Yeboah, 36, is seeking refuge at DOVVSU, praying the police will protect her from her husband who she also accused of been unfaithful.

She has vowed not to return to her marital home. She has been married for eight years.

Officials of DOVVSU say it is too early to comment on the matter but said the former ambassador could not honour his invitation at DOVVSU on Wednesday.

When Joy News contacted him, he declined comment.
