Empress Gifty and Agradaa
The ongoing GH¢20 million defamation case between gospel musician Empress Gifty and controversial evangelist Nana Agradaa took a new turn as Agradaa’s legal team filed a motion to have the case transferred from the Tema High Court to the Eastern Region.
After appearing in court on July 16, 2025, Empress Gifty’s lawyers confirmed that Agradaa, through her lawyers, submitted an application requesting the transfer of the case. According to Agradaa’s legal team, the frequent transportation of their client from Nsawam Prison to Accra for court proceedings poses a serious logistical challenge.
In May 2025, Empress Gifty filed a defamation suit against Nana Agradaa, seeking GH¢20 million in damages. She accused Agradaa of making false and vulgar statements about her during a live broadcast on social media. The allegations included claims of promiscuity and bestiality, which Gifty says have harmed her reputation.
In June, the Tema High Court rejected Agradaa’s attempt to strike out the case. However, the court ruled that the case could proceed and ordered Agradaa to pay GH¢6,000 in legal costs.
It was after that that Agradaa was jailed for 15years for fraud over a different case.
The court is yet to decide on Agradaa’s new request to transfer the case. Empress Gifty’s legal team has not indicated whether they will oppose the application.
The case continues to draw public attention due to the personalities involved.
