Valentino Nii Noi Nortey
Former New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidate for Klottey Korle, Valentino Nii Noi Nortey, has been remanded into custody in Pennsylvania, USA, after allegedly stabbing his wife in a violent domestic dispute.
The Lower Paxton Township Police Department confirmed that the 41-year-old politician was apprehended following an incident on the morning of Saturday, January 17, 2026.
According to reports, authorities were called to a residence along Mayfair Drive in Harrisburg at approximately 10 a.m., where they discovered a woman suffering from multiple stab wounds.
The report indicated that emergency first responders arrived at the scene and immediately transported the victim to a local hospital.
Local police in a statement released on Monday, said, “The woman was taken to the hospital by first responders and is currently in stable condition.”
The police further clarified that the event was an isolated domestic incident and that “there was never any threat to the public.”
Investigators are said to have spent several hours at the Mayfair Drive property on Saturday, processing the scene for forensic evidence.
Mr. Nortey, a well-known name in Ghanaian politics who contested the highly competitive Klottey Korle seat, now faces criminal charges in the United States.
Reports suggests that Mr. Nortey was arraigned before Magisterial District Judge, David Judy, who denied him bail due to the gravity of the attempted homicide charge and the circumstances of the arrest.
Mr. Nortey is currently being held at the Dauphin County Prison while his legal team prepares for a preliminary hearing scheduled for January 26, 2026, where a judge will determine if there is sufficient evidence for the case to proceed to the Court of Common Pleas.
