Abuse case: Nana Akua’s husband Harold unable to appear in court after hospital admission – Police

Harold Norman, at the center of domestic abuse allegations involving his wife, Nana Akua, was unable to appear in court on Wednesday, October 7, 2026, due to his hospital admission. The Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service confirmed that Harold Norman's scheduled court appearance was canceled as his lawyer informed them about his client's hospitalization.

Later, investigators from the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) visited the hospital to verify the claim. The police are ensuring Mr. Norman is arraigned as soon as he is discharged from the hospital. In August 2026, Nana Akua filed a petition alleging physical, emotional, and economic abuse from her husband. Harold Norman was subsequently arrested on August 27, 2026, and granted police enquiry bail with two sureties on August 29.

Earlier, the case had been handled by DOVVSU at the Lakeside and Ministries Police Stations in July 2026. The police have assured that they will conduct investigations into the allegations professionally and fairly.
