Nana Agradaa’s 15-year prison sentence reduced to 1 year

 


The Amasaman High Court has reduced the prison sentence of controversial evangelist Patricia Asiedu, (Nana Agradaa) from 15 years to 1 year, after ruling that the original punishment was excessive.

In its decision, the court upheld her conviction but exercised its discretionary powers to review the sentence.

The court concluded that while the offence justified a custodial punishment, the initial 15-year term with hard labour was disproportionate to the circumstances of the case.

The revised sentence is to take effect from the date of her conviction on July 3, 2025. This means Nana Agradaa will serve a total of 12 months in prison.

Nana Agradaa, a former fetish priestess who later turned an evangelist, was convicted for charlatanic advertisement and defrauding by false pretences. The trial court’s decision to impose a lengthy sentence with hard labour generated widespread public debate and drew significant legal attention.

Effutu NDC PC Snubs MCE at Party Member’s Funeral

Image
  Tensions within the Effutu Constituency NDC boiled over on Saturday, 8th November 2025, when the party’s 2020 and 2024 parliamentary candidate, Dr. James Kofi Annan, openly refused to shake hands with the current Municipal Chief Executive, Hon. Rev. Atta Mensah, during a funeral in Winneba. The incident occurred at the final rites of David Nenyi Bonney, a dedicated NDC member and younger brother of the Effutu NDC Youth Organizer, Albert Nana Banyin Bonney. As the MCE approached to greet Dr. Annan, he stood in front of him for nearly 30 seconds, attempting to engage in conversation. However, Dr. Annan remained unresponsive, refusing to extend a handshake. Eventually, some party executives seated with Dr. Annan advised the MCE to move on. This public snub has fueled talk of internal conflict between the two leading figures in the constituency.  While some have criticized Dr. Annan’s actions as inappropriate for the occasion, others believe it highlights long-standing tensions,...

KWAME OBED ATTA DECLARED WANTED BY WINNEBA POLICE OVER FRAUD ALLEGATIONS

Image
  A young man’s life has been turned upside down after being defrauded of GHS 33,000 by someone he once called a friend — Kwame Obed Atta. Kwame approached him years ago, claiming he needed capital to start a business. Trusting his story, the victim took a loan from UEW Credit Union in his own name and handed the money over to help. Sadly, it was all a scam. Kwame never started any business — instead, he used the funds for online fraud and disappeared from town immediately after receiving the money. Despite being deceived, the victim worked tirelessly to repay the loan. He traced Kwame, seized a vehicle he was using, and sold it to reduce the debt. Yet, due to interest and time, the loan has risen again to GHS 28,000. The case has since been officially reported to the Winneba Police Station, and Kwame Obed Atta has been declared wanted. The victim has provided all necessary evidence, including bank records and reports, and now seeks public support — both in helping locate Kwame and...
