Harold Duodu Norman, the husband of Ghanaian fashion personality Nana Akua Addo, has reportedly been remanded into custody for two weeks as the domestic violence case involving the couple returns to court.
The latest development emerged during a court session on Tuesday, October 20, where the court also granted Nana Akua Addo custody of their two daughters to ensure their welfare as the legal proceedings continue.
The case has drawn considerable public attention, with staff and supporters of the fashion personality gathering at the premises of the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU). Some wore T-shirts bearing her image and called for justice as the matter progressed.
Nana Akua Addo, whose legal name is Rosemond Akua Adobea, lodged a petition with the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service, accusing her husband of physical, emotional and economic abuse. The allegations remain under investigation and have not been conclusively established in court.
In an October statement, the CID disclosed that its Director-General received the petition on August 20, 2026, detailing the alleged abuse.
The Police also revealed that the couple had previously been involved in a case handled by DOVVSU at the Lakeside and Ministries Police Stations in July 2026.
As part of the subsequent investigation, Harold Norman was arrested at his residence on August 27 to assist the Police with their inquiries. Investigators obtained a caution statement from him before granting him police enquiry bail with two sureties on August 29.
He was scheduled to appear before the court on October 7. However, his lawyer informed the Police that he had been admitted to hospital and was unable to attend the proceedings.
DOVVSU investigators subsequently visited the hospital to verify the information. The CID said officers were monitoring the situation to ensure that Norman appeared before the court following his discharge.
Aside from the criminal investigation, the Police said they were collaborating with the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection to secure appropriate social welfare support for Nana Akua Addo and her children.
The CID reaffirmed its commitment to handling domestic violence complaints professionally and fairly, as the case continues through the legal process.
