In 2020, the public got the very surprising news that popular Ghanaian actress, Benedicta Gafah had been married. This caused an uproar because the actress has a long list of past lovers that were quite visible in the media but the identity of her husband was a mystery.
His existence in Gafah’s life only came to be known after the actress was accused by politician and businessman, Kennedy Agyapong of having a relationship with the clergyman, Bishop Daniel Obinim.

This revelation opened a can of worms for the actress. A man known as Kwaku came out with claims that he is married to the actress. According to him, his marriage to Benedicta Gafah happened in 2016. It was eventually revealed that the couple had a very small and private ceremony that took place at Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly.

With regards to his personal information, there is not a lot of information available on the identity of this man, all that is known of him is that he lives in the United States as a ‘Borga’ – a word used to describe a Ghanaian who lives a very lavished life abroad. His full name is also not known; he is only known as ‘Kwaku’, which is what many use to link him to the Ghanaian actress.

An Infidelity Scandal Ended The Alleged Marriage 

According to the revelation made by Kwaku, his marriage to Benedicta was short-lived because he had caught her having sex with Bishop Daniel Obinim. This was what drove him away from the marriage. Although it still remains an unsolved puzzle why he did not say anything about the marriage or the circumstances around the divorce until the Ghanaian politician’s public allegations about Benedicta.

More so, there have been other shocking revelations concerning this alleged marriage. Kwaku made additional claims that the actress refused to sign the divorce papers he sent to her. According to him, she is demanding that he pay her GHC 30,000 first. Kwaku also claimed that the actress aborted their baby because of her affair with Bishop Daniel Obinim.
