The legal saga of Patricia Asiedua Asiamah, widely known as Nana Agradaa, took another turn this week as the Amasaman High Court adjourned her much-anticipated appeal hearing to February 5, 2026.
The former fetish priestess, who reinvented herself as an evangelist, is contesting her conviction and 15-year custodial sentence handed down on July 3, 2025, for charlatanic advertisement and defrauding by false pretence.
Nana Agradaa’s appeal centers on claims that her trial was marred by unfair procedures and insufficient evidence to warrant a guilty verdict. She and her legal team maintain that the sentence imposed was excessively harsh, and they are hopeful the appellate court will overturn or reduce the punishment.
After Wednesday’s session on January 21, her lawyer, Richard Asare Baffour, addressed reporters outside the courthouse, shedding light on the reasons for the latest delay. According to Baffour, the adjournment became necessary after the Attorney-General’s Office failed to comply with earlier court directives, citing technical challenges with the electronic evidence required for the appeal. The defence team strongly objected to a further extension of time requested by state prosecutors, insisting that the case was already overdue for resolution.
The presiding judge ultimately set February 5, 2026, as the date for delivering judgment, granting the Attorney-General’s Office the opportunity to file written addresses if it chooses. “The court has adjourned the case to February 5, 2026, to deliver its judgment,” Baffour explained. “By then, the Office of the Attorney-General will have the opportunity to file its written addresses, if it is minded to do so.”
With the new date on the calendar, all eyes now turn to the upcoming judgment, a decision that could significantly alter the fate of one of Ghana’s most controversial public figures.
