Royal Women in Cinema Ghana condemns alleged assault on Nana Akua Addo

Royal Women in Cinema Ghana (RWICG) has formally expressed its deep concern and condemnation regarding reports of alleged domestic violence involving actress Nana Akua Addo and her children. In a press statement issued on October 7, 2026, the organization emphasized that violence against women and children is never justifiable under any circumstances and must be addressed with the utmost seriousness. The group's intervention follows recent reports surfacing in the public domain concerning the well-being of the prominent actress and her family.

The statement, signed by RWICG founder Dzifa Agbetepey, called on the Ghana Police Service and other relevant authorities to launch an immediate and thorough investigation into the allegations. RWICG stressed the importance of ensuring the physical safety and emotional security of Nana Akua Addo and her children throughout the legal and investigative processes. The organization also highlighted the need to protect the victims' privacy, particularly given their high public profile and the sensitive nature of the claims.

In addition to calling for official action, the organization addressed the public's role in managing information related to the case. RWICG urged social media users and news outlets to refrain from sharing or circulating sensitive images and videos that could further distress the victims or compromise their dignity. By advocating for responsible communication, the group aims to mitigate the psychological impact of the incident on the family while the matter is being handled by law enforcement.

Beyond the specific case of Nana Akua Addo, RWICG used the platform to encourage other women facing domestic abuse to break their silence and seek professional support and help. The organization reaffirmed its commitment to promoting a safe environment for women within the cinema industry and the broader Ghanaian society. This development adds to the ongoing national conversation regarding domestic violence and the role of professional bodies in supporting victims of gender-based abuse.
