The love lost
relationship between Ebenezer Okletey Terlabi, the National Democratic Congress
(NDC) Member of Parliament for Lower Manya Krobo in the Eastern Region and his
wife Monica aka Yaa Baby is getting murkier by the day.
DAILY GUIDE is reliably informed that Mr. Terlabi who is
also the Deputy Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, allegedly dumped
rubbish on the wife’s bed at their official Ringway Estates Residence at Osu, Accra.
The minister is said
to have also locked out Mrs Terlabi from the matrimonial and now taking
sanctuary in a hotel at Osu with no personal belongings.
Rubbish On Bed
Mrs. Terlabii
confirmed the dumping of the rubbish on her bed by her estranged husband on a
Somanya-based private radio station, Rite
FM last Friday.
She said “When I
returned home he had removed the TV, home theatre and other stuff including the
pictures I took with him as well as some of my pictures and had put garbage on
the bed I sleep on. I became very sad.”
“Of all the things he
has done, the singular act which affected me most was putting garbage on my
bed.”
Infidelity
She said that the
minister’s claim that she was a flirt was laughable saying “I saw in the papers
that he claims I have been going behind him…I ask for God’s forgiveness for
him.”
“I have been able to
prove that his mistress is Gifty Addy so he should come out and mention the name
of the person he claims am flirting with. I respect myself as a married woman
and would never do such a thing.
“If I was a flirt I
would have left the house long ago.”
She claimed that the
said Gifty who is her husband’s mistress was all over the minister and would
not allow him breathing space leading to Terlabi, a former lecturer at the
Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) relocating with her.
“She even goes to his
office regularly. Is that how we do it? There is no problem between us. The
problem is that he has left the matrimonial home,” she said even though the
minister has fired back saying he was still at home.
No Entry!
Additionally, she
told DAILY
GUIDE that the Minister came home with some unidentified men and locked
up the place before instructing his houseboy not to let her in the house again.
“I came home and went
out to buy something. I saw his car pass by and I hid at a corner watching
their movement. I saw him making telephone calls,” she claimed.
“When he finally left
I tried to enter the house but his houseboy told me he has instructed him not
to allow me in the house again. I don’t know what to do. I‘ve no place sleep
now.”
She has since been
sleeping in a hotel from Friday.
Marriage Dissolution
She also told DAILY
GUIDE that Mr. Terlabi sent people to her family in Kumasi with
schnapps to ask for dissolution of the marriage but her father did not
entertain the Minister’s envoy.
“He was on radio
claiming I am not his wife yet he goes secretly to my parents to dissolve the
marriage traditionally.”
DAILY GUIDE learnt that the marriage was done by ordinance
and it was the courts that could dissolve it as things stand before any
traditional rites could be performed.
She insisted that “I
don’t know anything about the story yet he goes about to tell people I leaked
it with the former MCE and one Ricky. If he had not told me I would not know
that something was happening.”
No Car
She claimed that the
Minister seized her car and gave it to Gifty’s brother and said “as I speak I
have been using commercial vehicle.”
“The home is his home
so if there was any personal problem he should have been the one to sack me and
not him leaving the place,” Monica Terlabi said.
Minister Threatens Reporter
When the story was
published on Friday, Mr. Terlabi called Daniel Bampoe, DAILY GUIDE reporter who
broke the story on telephone and threatened the poor reporter’s life.
“Thank you very much.
I’ve seen your story in front page right! And is that twist you have given it?
Thank you. You are a young man and you will see how you are going to survive in
this country,” the Minister charged
Last week, Daily
Guide reported that the minister reportedly packed out of his official
residence, leaving behind his estranged wife.
The MP allegedly
stormed his government bungalow apartment at Osu Ringway near the State House
and took away electrical appliances and stuffed chairs in the absence of his
wife, Monica.
He was said to have
moved to join his mistress at East Legon, Accra where he had allegedly rented a
house for her.
Mr Terlabi who recently
denied any link with his constituency youth organiser, David Tettey, over a
narcotics-related case (heroin), reportedly broke the main door to his official
residence and took away his home theatre appliance, flat screen plasma
television, the chairs and picture flames together with his wife’s and that of
the late President Mills and left behind his only picture hanging in the
sitting hall.
Mrs Monica Terlabi had
confirmed the incident on an Nkawkaw-based radio station, Agoo East, evening
news that her husband came to their five-bedroom apartment when she had gone to
the Tema Harbour to clear some imported goods from Dubai.
Girlfriend
According to her, the
deputy minister had been found dating one Gifty Addy, who is also a clearing
agent at Aviance and who operates with the Lower Manya Krobo constituency youth
organiser standing trial at an Accra circuit court for allegedly dealing in
heroin.
The minister conceded
that he has a girlfriend but it didn’t mean that he was sleeping outside. “It’s
just that I normally come home late,” Terlabi told DAILY GUIDE in a text
message.
The MP’s wife stated
that after the news broke that David Kwame Tettey had been busted over heroin,
her husband became suspicious, claiming that she had conspired with the former
Lower Manya Krobo MCE, David Agbo, and one Ricky, former constituency
chairmanship aspirant, to leak the matter to the media.
She stated that the
husband, on that fateful day the news broke, sent her a text message that he
would come to their matrimonial home to deal with her for the alleged
conspiracy to defame him.
Complains To Asiedu Nketia
The minister’s wife
indicated that after the incident, she went to the house of the NDC General
Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, at Oyarifa near Adenta in the Greater Accra
Region on Tuesday to inform him about her husband’s behaviour because she saw
the NDC scribe as a family head.
