Patricia Asiedua, also known as ‘Nana Agradaa,’ has been remanded into custody once more to assist the police in their investigations.
In court today, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Sylvester Asare, the State Prosecutor, pleaded with the Court to remand Nana Agradaa for two weeks to help them with their investigations.
The self-styled evangelist is in court to face seven counts of defrauding by false pretense and charlatanic advertisement on TV and in a newspaper to entice her victims. This follows a viral video of her church members cursing her for tricking them to give offering in exchange of huge of huge amounts, an allegation she denies.
Reynold Twumasi Ankrah, Agradaa’s lawyer, argued against the state Prosecutor’s request, claiming that Agradaa has many children and that her incarceration will have an impact on them (children).
He also stated that the accused is a changed soul, a good Christian who will not tamper with evidence.
He even mentioned how Agradaa drove herself to the police station before she was arrested.
Agradaa’s lawyer believes the police lack the necessary evidence and that the case will be dismissed.
Lawyer Twumasi Ankrah told the court that the police are now looking for evidence and have written to Today TV for help with the video.
The State Prosecutor told the court that the request was part of their evidence-gathering strategy, but the station told them that they could only release the video with the permission of their CEO, Agradaa.
According to the Prosecutor, this is a clear justification for their request for Agradaa’s remand in order to prevent evidence tampering.
As a result, the court remanded Agradaa into custody to appear in court on Monday, October 17, 2022.
Under CID protection, Agradaa left the court singing “Hallelujah.”
