Police to arraign Nana Akua’s husband over alleged abuse
Harold Norman is expected to appear before court after his discharge from hospital as the Ghana Police Service continues investigations into alleged domestic abuse involving his wife, Rosemond Akua Adobea, popularly known as Nana Akua.
The case came to the attention of the Police after Adobea petitioned the Director-General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) on August 20, 2026. She alleged that she had been subjected to physical, emotional and economic abuse by her husband.
Police subsequently arrested Norman at his residence on August 27. He was questioned and provided a caution statement before being granted police enquiry bail with two sureties on August 29.
His court appearance, scheduled for October 7, could not take place after his lawyer informed the Police that Norman had been admitted to hospital.
The Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) has since visited the hospital to verify the claim and is monitoring his condition to ensure he is arraigned immediately after he is discharged.
“Investigators from DOVVSU have visited the said hospital to verify the claim and are monitoring the situation to ensure he is arraigned immediately upon discharge,” the CID said.
The Police have also disclosed that the couple had been involved in an earlier case in July 2026. That matter was handled by DOVVSU at the Lakeside and Ministries Police Stations.
Meanwhile, the CID is collaborating with the Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection to facilitate social welfare support for Adobea and her children.
The Police said investigations remain ongoing and reiterated their commitment to handling domestic violence complaints professionally and fairly. Norman is expected to be arraigned once he is discharged from hospital.
