Ghanaian journalist Israel Laryea has spoken out for the first time after his wife was involved in a public dispute with social media personality Lily Mohamed.
In a recent interview, Laryea said that the disagreement between the two women began from a misunderstanding that escalated online. He explained that emotions ran high and that both sides shared their feelings publicly before things settled down.
Laryea emphasised that he values respect, peace and unity, and he encouraged everyone involved to focus on resolving issues calmly rather than prolonging conflict on social media. He said that disagreements happen, but they can often be resolved through honest conversation and mutual understanding.
The journalist also thanked his supporters for their messages during the tense period. He said he hopes the situation can become a learning experience for all parties and that it will bring greater clarity about how people handle disagreements in public spaces.
Supporters of Laryea and others watching the situation online responded by urging tolerance and constructive communication, with many saying such clashes should not overshadow the positive work both women do in their communities.
Laryea ended his remarks by saying he hopes that in the future everyone can move forward with respect and that lessons from the incident will help strengthen relationships rather than weaken them.
