In a shocking incident of domestic violence, Emmanuel Addai, the prime suspect accused of biting off his wife’s ear in Dambai, Ghana, has been arrested and granted bail. The tragic episode, which occurred in the Banka community of Dambai township, has sparked widespread concern and calls for justice.
The incident unfolded on September 5, 2025, when Mr. Addai allegedly attacked his wife, Madam Cecilia Fordjour, while she was preparing food to serve him after he returned from a funeral in Wonkayaw. According to reports, a scuffle ensued, during which Mr. Addai reportedly bit off Madam Fordjour’s ear. Despite receiving medical attention, her ear could not be reattached due to delays in reaching the hospital.
Law enforcement officials have taken swift action in response to the incident. A police source informed the Ghana News Agency (GNA) that Mr. Addai has been directed to report to the police station on Thursday, September 11, 2025, to assist with further investigations into the matter. Authorities have also indicated that he will soon be arraigned before the Jasikan Circuit Court.
This case highlights the devastating consequences of domestic violence and underscores the urgent need for stronger measures to protect victims and hold perpetrators accountable. While police investigations are ongoing, the incident has reignited conversations about the prevalence of domestic abuse and the importance of addressing it at both community and national levels.
As the legal process unfolds, many are looking to the judicial system to ensure justice is served for Madam Fordjour and to send a strong message against domestic violence. Advocacy groups and concerned citizens continue to call for heightened awareness, preventive measures, and support systems for victims of abuse.
This tragic event serves as a reminder of the critical role society must play in fostering a culture of respect, safety, and accountability within homes and communities. Updates on the case are expected as investigations progress and court proceedings begin.
