The Amasaman High Court has fixed February 5, 2026, to deliver judgment on an appeal filed by Patricia Asiedua Asiamah, popularly known as Nana Agradaa, who is challenging her 15-year prison sentence for charlatanic advertisement and defrauding by false pretence.
Agradaa, a former fetish priestess turned evangelist, was convicted on July 3, 2025, after the court found her guilty of deceiving members of the public through a money-doubling scheme. The high-profile case involved several victims who claimed they were induced to part with large sums of money during her church services.
In her appeal, Agradaa argues that the trial court erred in its judgment, insisting that the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt. She further contends that the sentence imposed was excessive and disproportionate to the offences.
Her lawyer, Richard Asare Baffour, speaking to journalists after proceedings on Wednesday, January 21, attributed the delay in the appeal process to technical challenges involving electronic exhibits, as well as the failure of the Attorney-General’s Department to comply with earlier court directives.
“We opposed the Attorney-General’s request for additional time to file written submissions, but the court has adjourned the matter to February 5 for final judgment,” Mr Baffour said.
The court has, however, granted the Attorney-General’s Office the opportunity to file any final written addresses ahead of the ruling.
The February 5 decision will determine whether Nana Agradaa’s conviction and sentence will be upheld or overturned.
