Local socialite Pokello Nare, who is being divorced by her
Ghanaian husband Elikem Kumordzie, has now filed her papers to challenge the
matter at the High Court, setting the stage for a fiercely contested divorce
case.
The couple got married after meeting at the 2013 Big
Brother Africa reality television series.
Through his lawyers, Mahuni Gidiri Law Chambers, Elikem
petitioned the High Court on September 11, 2018, seeking to nullify his
three-year-old marriage to Pokello, claiming the union has irretrievably broken
down.
But Pokello, through her lawyers, Samukange Hungwe
Attorneys, indicated in papers filed on September 28 that she would challenge
her husband’s litigation.
Part of Pokello’s notice reads: “Please be advised to take
notice that the defendant (Pokello) has entered an appearance to defend the
above action at 14:30pm on this September 28, 2018. Further, take notice that
the defendant was served with summons on September 27, 2018.”
After presenting a picture-perfect marriage to the world in
a life largely lived on social media, the bubble seems to have now burst for
the former love birds.
In his declaration filed alongside the summons, Elikem said
he has not been staying together with Pokello as husband and wife for the past
year and as a result, he has since lost love and affection for her.
Elikem also said he is offering to maintain the couple’s
minor child, whose custody must be awarded to its mother. According to the
court papers, the couple was blessed with one child born on December 23, 2015.
Elikem further submitted that during the three-year period
he had been with Pokello, the couple did not acquire any movable or immovable
properties together. Newsday
