The High Court in Accra has instructed the parties in the case involving Patricia Asieduaa, popularly called Nana Agradaa, and her co-accused to submit the terms of a proposed plea bargain before the next hearing.
The Court further directed that the agreement must be filed no fewer than three clear days before the adjourned date of December 16, 2025.
During Tuesday’s proceedings, prosecutors told the Court they were considering seeking a bench warrant for the second accused, but defence lawyers explained that they had not received the hearing notice.
Counsel for Nana Agradaa informed the Court that negotiations with the Office of the Attorney-General regarding a possible plea agreement were “well advanced” and asked for a brief adjournment.
The prosecutor added that the complainant, Emmanuel Appiah Fumum, had participated in the discussions and was present in the courtroom.
The Judge then directed the Registry to ensure that counsel for the second accused is properly served with a hearing notice before the next appearance.
The case stems from claims that Nana Agradaa, a former fetish priestess now turned evangelist, aired nude images of Pastor Emmanuel Appiah Fumum (widely known as Osofo Biblical) on her television channel and social media pages without his permission.
Prosecutors say the images were broadcast during a live programme where panelists mocked the complainant, conduct they argue violates the Cybersecurity Act, 2020 (Act 1038), which prohibits sharing intimate images without consent.
Nana Agradaa, who is already serving a 15-year prison sentence in a separate defrauding-by-false-pretence case, was present in court.
Her lawyers raised concerns about recent media interviews given by the complainant, in which he allegedly claimed their client had been in poor condition since her imprisonment.
The presiding judge, however, advised the prosecution to caution the complainant against making such public statements.
In 2022, she was accused of luring her victims through claims that she possessed spiritual powers to double their money.
Initially admitting guilt to charges including fraudulent advertising and obtaining money under false pretenses, she spent two weeks in remand before being granted bail of GH₵150,000 with three sureties, one requiring justification.
She tricked members of the Godsway International Heaven Church into handing over their cash during a night vigil service at her church in Weija, Accra.
Meanwhile, Ghanaian gospel musician Gifty Oppong Adorye, known in showbiz as Empress Gifty, dragged Evangelist Mama Pat, to court for defaming her.
In a video targeting Empress Gifty's husband, Hopeson Adorye, Agradaa extended her attacks to the singer, accusing her of engaging in bestiality and unfaithful activities.
According to Gifty, other bloggers have leveraged Agradaa's statement to spread false narratives about her.
This has affected the "Watch Me" singer and her family, as their children are being ridiculed by friends in school.
In addition to the negative impact of Agradaa's conduct, lawyers of Empress Gifty say her trip abroad slated for August has been jeopardized.
The words used by Agradaa are interpreted to mean the following:
a) The plaintiff is promiscuous and a prostitute.
b) The plaintiff is a zoophile who flirts with dogs to earn her money to cater for her husband.
c) The plaintiff is an adulterous or an unchaste wife who has extramarital affairs with other men, and most of her paramours are pastors.
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.
e) The plaintiff is an imbecile.
Consequently, Empress Gifty is claiming the sum of twenty million Ghana Cedis for damages for slander.
She is also 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.
Lawyers for former chief priestess turned evangelist, Patricia Asiedua Asiamah (Nana Agradaa), have filed an appeal challenging the 15-year jail sentence handed down by the Circuit Court.
This information was revealed by the lead counsel, Richard Asare Baffour, on Monday, July 7.
He added, “We filed the petition of appeal this morning because the judgment delivered by the court is so unreasonable, and the evidence on record does not support it.
“We have also stated that the trial as a whole is wrong in law, and we are saying that the judge demonstrated manifest bias by harassing and intimidating the accused.
Nana Agradaa, is going to spend 15 years in prison for charlatanic advertisement and defrauding by false pretence.
The Circuit Court in Accra delivered its sentence after it confirmed that she is not pregnant.
