Agradaa is currently embroiled in multiple legal battles

Ghanaian preacher-turned-evangelist Patricia Asiamah, popularly known as Nana Agradaa, is currently embroiled in multiple legal battles, even as news of her recent conviction by an Accra Circuit Court continues to dominate headlines.

While many are aware of her conviction for charlatanic advertisement and fraud, there are two additional court cases that continue to add to her mounting legal woes. Here’s a breakdown:

1. Sharing nude photos of a rival prophet

Back in 2021, Agradaa became entangled in a public feud with a prophet identified as Emmanuel Appiah Enim.

What began as a typical exchange of insults on social media escalated dramatically when Agradaa allegedly displayed nude photos of Prophet Enim during a broadcast on Thunder TV (now Today’s TV), a station she owned.

She was arrested in 2022 and charged under Section 67(1) of the Cybersecurity Act (Act 1038) for the non-consensual distribution of intimate images.

The case further intensified in July 2024, when Agradaa appeared in court on additional charges of possessing and distributing indecent material.

According to reports, she not only shared the images on live television but also used them to label a product (a type of bitters), which she then marketed to her church members.

She was granted bail set at GH¢200,000, with the requirement of two justified sureties.

2. Money-doubling fraud case

Also in 2022, Agradaa was arrested again, this time over allegations of fraud involving some members of her church.

According to the complaints, Agradaa advertised on her TV station and social media that she could double the money of those who attended an all-night church service at her Weija-based church.

During the service, she reportedly asked over 1,000 attendees to hand over their money, promising supernatural returns.

However, the promised "money doubling" never happened, leading to widespread outrage and numerous complaints to the police.

She was subsequently charged with charlatanic advertisement and defrauding by false pretences.

On July 3, 2025, an Accra Circuit Court found Agradaa guilty on both counts. Before sentencing, the court ordered a pregnancy test, a common legal procedure to determine appropriate custodial measures for female convicts.

Sentencing is expected once the test results are finalized, and procedural requirements are complete.
