Celebrated lawyer, Tony Lithur, wants to divorce his lovely wife, Nana Oye Lithur, according to explosive court documents sighted by Atinkaonline.

A petition filed by lawyer for Tony Lithur at the High Court ( Divorce and Matrimonial Division) said, “That you are required within 8 days after service hereof upon you. Inclusive of the day service to enter on appearance either in person or by solicitor at the Divorce Registry of the High Court, Accra in the Greater Accra Region of the Republic of Ghana should you think it to do so and thereafter to answer this petition and that in default of your so doing, the Court will proceed to hear the petition and pronounce judgement in your absence notwithstanding.”

Mr Lithur further used harsh words on his wife, who is a well-known politician and gender activist
