Nana Akua Addo’s Daughter Refuses to Go With Mother After Custody Ruling

Ghanaian fashion personality Nana Akua Addo has reportedly faced an emotional moment after her eldest daughter, Jesusa, refused to leave with her following a court ruling granting her custody of their two children.

The development has attracted public attention after a video showing a tense confrontation between the mother and daughter surfaced online on Friday, October 23, 2026.

According to a report by YEN.com.gh, Nana Akua Addo went to collect her children after the court granted her custody amid an ongoing domestic dispute involving her estranged husband, Harold Duodu Norman.

However, the situation reportedly took an unexpected turn when Jesusa refused to leave with her mother. In the circulating video, the young girl is seen confronting Nana Akua Addo and making allegations about how she had been treated while growing up.

Jesusa reportedly accused her mother of beating her during her childhood, describing experiences that she appeared to find distressing. An unidentified man present during the confrontation attempted to intervene and calm the situation.

The man urged the daughter to consider the circumstances surrounding the family dispute and separate the issues between her parents from her relationship with her mother.

The footage has generated widespread discussion on social media, with viewers expressing different opinions about the situation. Some have called for greater understanding of the emotional difficulties children can experience when their parents are involved in prolonged domestic disputes.

Others have urged the public to avoid rushing to conclusions based on a short video, stressing the importance of protecting the children involved.

The incident comes amid a legal dispute between Nana Akua Addo and her estranged husband, Harold Duodu Norman. The fashion personality had earlier petitioned the Criminal Investigations Department of the Ghana Police Service over allegations of physical, emotional and economic abuse.

Her husband has denied assaulting her, while investigations and court proceedings concerning the matter continue.

On October 20, reports indicated that the court had remanded Norman for two weeks and granted Nana Akua Addo custody of their two daughters.

The latest confrontation, however, has raised further questions about the emotional wellbeing of the children and the challenges surrounding the custody arrangement.

As the matter continues to attract public attention, the privacy and welfare of the children remain important considerations. The allegations made in the video have not been independently established, and the full circumstances surrounding the confrontation remain unclear.

The public has also been urged to exercise caution when sharing videos involving the family, particularly those featuring minors, as the legal proceedings continue.
