NPP PC-Nii Noi Nortey Beats Wife As Party Indiscipline Continues

Family Alleges Former NPP Parliamentary Candidate Attacked Wife After Divorce Threat

January 20,2026

A family member of the wife of former New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidate for the Klottey Korle constituency, Valentino Nii Noi Nortey, has alleged that he attacked his wife following her decision to seek a divorce.

Speaking to the media which was monitored by vistanewsgh.com, a spokesperson for the wife’s family, David Gyapanin, claimed that the incident occurred after a disagreement between the couple at their residence in Pennsylvania, United States.

According to the family, Nii Noi Nortey allegedly issued threats after his wife indicated she wanted to end the marriage. The situation reportedly escalated into a violent domestic incident, during which the woman sustained multiple injuries.

Mr. Gyapanin stated that the victim was later allowed to leave the residence to seek medical attention after she reportedly assured her husband she would not immediately pursue legal action. He confirmed that she has since undergone surgery and is currently in stable condition.

The family has expressed deep shock over the incident and raised concerns about the former parliamentary candidate’s mental state. They also disclosed that the couple’s five children have been separated and are currently under the care of family members.

“We are still struggling to understand how a disagreement could escalate to this level,” Mr. Gyapanin said, adding that the family is hopeful justice will be served.

As of now, the family of Valentino Nii Noi Nortey has not issued any public response to the allegations.
