The family of Gilda Nortey, the wife of former New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidate for Klottey Korle, Valentino Nii Noi Nortey, has spoken publicly for the first time following an alleged stabbing incident in the United States, insisting that justice must be fully served.
In a brief statement released through close relatives, the family expressed deep pain and concern over the incident, describing it as traumatic and life-altering. They called on law enforcement authorities in the United States to ensure that the matter is thoroughly investigated and that justice is served without fear or favor.
“Our priority is her safety, recovery, and dignity,” the family stated, adding that they are relying on the legal system to handle the case professionally. While refraining from making detailed public accusations, they emphasized that domestic violence in any form must not be ignored or downplayed.
The incident allegedly involved the former NPP parliamentary aspirant, who has reportedly been detained by US authorities in connection with the stabbing. The victim was said to have received medical treatment, though her current condition has not been officially disclosed.
The family also appealed for privacy during this difficult period, noting that public speculation and misinformation could further harm those involved, especially children and close relatives.
The case has drawn significant public attention in Ghana due to the political background of the suspect. However, legal experts have reiterated that the matter remains under investigation and that all parties are entitled to due process under the law.
Advocacy groups have used the incident to renew calls for stronger action against domestic violence, urging victims to speak out and seek help while encouraging authorities to act decisively on such reports.
As investigations continue, the family says it remains hopeful that the truth will emerge and that justice will ultimately prevail.
