Court orders Nana Agradaa, co-accused to file plea bargain terms ahead of December 16 hearing

The High Court in Accra has instructed lawyers in the case involving Patricia Asieduaa, widely known as Nana Agradaa, and her co-accused to formally submit the terms of their proposed plea bargain ahead of the next hearing.

The Court directed that the agreement be filed no later than three clear days before the adjourned date of December 16, 2025.

At Tuesday’s sitting (December 2), state prosecutors noted they were considering requesting a bench warrant for the second accused, but defence counsel argued they had not been served with the necessary hearing notice.

The judge subsequently directed the Court Registry to ensure proper service before the next appearance.

Counsel for Nana Agradaa told the Court that negotiations with the Office of the Attorney-General over a possible plea agreement were “far advanced”, prompting a request for a short adjournment.

The prosecution confirmed that the complainant, Pastor Emmanuel Appiah Fumum (popularly known as Osofo Biblical), had participated in the ongoing discussions and was present in court.

The case stems from allegations that Nana Agradaa—formerly a fetish priestess and now an evangelist—broadcast intimate images of the complainant on her television station and social media platforms without his permission.

Prosecutors say the images were shown during a live programme where panelists made mocking comments, in violation of the Cybersecurity Act, 2020 (Act 1038), which bans the non-consensual sharing of intimate images.

Nana Agradaa, who is currently serving a 15-year custodial sentence in a separate fraud case, was present during proceedings.

Defence lawyers also raised concerns over recent media interviews granted by the complainant, in which he allegedly made remarks about their client’s condition in prison.
