Legal practitioner Tony Lithur has made an emotional plea to the general public to give his family some privacy as they go through a “painful” and “difficult” divorce process.

In a statement Mr Lithur issued on Wednesday, 13 June 2018, Mr Lithur said: “My attention has been drawn to the publication on social media of the docket copy of a petition for divorce I have filed against Nana Oye Lithur at the Divorce and Matrimonial Division of the High Court, Accra, and some pictures of us.

“While acknowledging the existence of the filed petition, I would like to say that the process is an emotional and difficult one for us and our children.

“I would, therefore, very respectfully and humbly, ask the general public to kindly give us, our children, and love ones some privacy to deal quietly with this painful stage of our lives”.
