Edwin Gyimah's Mother Accuses Him Of Lying About Disputed Obuasi Property: "He Built it for Me"

Edwin Gyimah’s mother has caused an uproar on social media after sharing damaging information about her son in an interview. Former Black Stars and Orlando Pirates defender, Edwin Gyimah, grabbed headlines on Thursday, April 9, 2026, after appearing on Auntie Naa's Oyerepa Afutuo show. The defender dragged his mother and sister to the program seeking help to take ownership of a property he owned that they were refusing to hand over to him. Gyimah accused his family, especially his sister Felicia, of neglect and illegally taking over his eight-bedroom house while he remained homeless and financially unstable with his wife and children. On Wednesday, April 16, 2026, Edwin Gyimah, accompanied by Auntie Naa’s crew and police officers, stormed the footballer’s home at Obuasi, where they met with his sister, mother, and other family members. The footballer’s tough-talking sibling burst into tears after their arrival and pleaded for a six-month grace period to vacate the property for Gyimah, his wife and children to take over. After the spectacle at Edwin Gyimah’s Obuasi home, his mother spoke out and shared some damaging information about her son She began by stating that, contrary to his claims on Auntie Naa’s show, he had explicitly stated when constructing the home that he was doing it as a gift to her. “He gave us money to buy a piece of land, and told us that when we build, we should build it in my name. Then he later said that he was mistaken, but that it shouldn't be in my name. However, he later came to apologise to me and agreed that the building should be constructed in my name,” she said. She said that despite the building being constructed for her, she convinced her son that he should keep the documents in his name to contribute to his glory as a celebrity who owned multiple properties. Gyimah’s mother added that he never intended to come for that home because he built another home in Accra as well as South Africa, and owned multiple cars as well, but a series of bad choices led him to sell off all his properties. He built a bigger house at Dodowa in Accra, a multi-storey building. He showed me photos, and also showed me multiple cars that he owned. However, when he fell into trouble, he sold all his properties and cars, both in Ghana and South Africa. So after he fell into hardship, that's when he came to me and said he wanted to sell this house, so I told him I would not allow that,” she added.
