Ghana Police Investigate Domestic Abuse Allegations Against Actress Nana Akua Addo’s Husband
The Ghana Police Service has stated that viral videos involving popular actress Nana Akua Addo and her husband, Harold Norman, have sparked concerns over alleged domestic violence.
According to the police, the Director-General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) received a petition from the actress on August 20, 2026, alleging that her husband had subjected her to physical, emotional and economic abuse.
The police disclosed that preliminary investigations revealed that a previous case involving the couple had been handled by the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) at the Lakeside and Ministries police stations in July 2026.
Following the petition, police arrested Norman at his residence on August 27 to assist with the investigation. He subsequently made a caution statement and was granted police enquiry bail on August 29, with two sureties, as investigations continued.
The police said Norman was scheduled to appear in court today. However, his lawyer told the court he had been hospitalised and could not attend the proceedings.
Investigators later visited the hospital to verify the claim, while the police said they were monitoring the situation to ensure that he would be arraigned immediately after his discharge.
Meanwhile, the CID is collaborating with the Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection to provide social welfare support for Addo and her children.
