Agradaa
The appeal hearing of Evangelist Patricia Asiedua, known as Nana Agradaa, challenging her 15-year prison sentence has been pushed to February 5, 2026.
She appeared before the Amasaman Circuit Court on January 21, 2026, as her legal team pressed for a reduction of the sentence. The court ordered both the defence and the prosecution to submit their written addresses, but proceedings were stalled after the Attorney-General’s office requested additional time to prepare its response.
Agradaa arrived at the court under the escort of prison officers, with her husband, Angel Asiamah, in attendance.
She is currently serving her prison term at the Nsawam Female Prison after an Accra Circuit Court convicted her on July 3, 2025, for charlatanic advertising and defrauding by false pretences.
The court found that Agradaa collected money from church members by promoting the supposed power to double money. Prosecutors said she advertised the scheme on Today’s TV and various social media platforms, urging the public to attend an all-night church service where she claimed spiritual intervention would multiply their money.
More than 1,000 people are said to have handed over large sums of cash during the service, but the promised returns never materialised, leaving many attendees in financial distress. In her appeal, first filed at the Amasaman High Court on December 4, 2025, Agradaa argues that the trial was unfair, the evidence insufficient, and the 15-year sentence excessive.
