President of the Foundation of Concerned Arts Professionals (FOCAP), Kojo Preko Dankwa, has said that gospel musician, Gifty Oppong Adorye, popularly known as Empress Gifty and her husband, Hopeson Adorye's lawsuit against Evangelist Mama Pat (Nana Agradaa) is a step in the right direction.

In a series of viral posts on social media, Agradaa consistently accused Empress Gifty of promiscuity.

Consequently, the "Watch Me" hitmaker filed a GH¢20 million defamation suit against Agradaa at the Tema High Court with the support of her husband.

Mr Kojo Preko Dankwa has expressed support for the move, describing it as a necessary step for the couple to protect their brand.

“So for him [Mr Hopeson]and Empress Gifty to fight for their marriage, their brand, and their reputation in society, they had to take her to court,” he said."Does she think Hopeson Adorye isn’t human with emotions? These claims are dangerous and could destroy their marriage and mental health,” he said.

Meanwhile, Agradaa says she is not moved by the court summons.

"I am not those people you can scare with legal action," the evangelist boldly said in a video spotted by The Independent Ghana on social media.

Agradaa went on to tell Empress Gifty that the court means nothing to her because everyone can be there at any time they choose to. “Any idiot can go to court. I’ve left the farm; I’m now dealing with classy people, so I don’t have time to come out and make any banter with no one,” she said.

Nana Agradaa also lashed out at Empress Gifty's husband, Hopeson Adorye.

She accused him of encouraging people to attack her and warned that she would beat him up if they ever met face-to-face.

Meanwhile, lawyers of Empress Gifty say her trip abroad slated for August has been jeopardized due to the allegations made by Agradaa.

The words used by Agradaa are interpreted to mean the following per the writ:

11

a) The plaintiff is promiscuous and a prostitute.

12

b) The plaintiff is a zoophile who flirts with dogs to earn her money to cater for her husband.

13

c) The plaintiff is an adulterous or an unchaste wife who has extramarital affairs with other men, and most of her paramours are pastors.

14

d) Pastors who invite the Plaintiff to their programs have sexual intercourse with her in their offices before the Plaintiff mounts the pulpit to sing.

15

e) The plaintiff is an imbecile.

16

Consequently, Empress Gifty is seeking a perpetual injunction to prevent the defendant, along with associates, agents, and anyone acting on her behalf, from making further publications of the same or similar defamatory statements.
