Evangelist Patricia Asiedua, also known as ‘Nana Agradaa‘, is reportedly organizing testimony from 50 witnesses to support her defense in a fraud case.
She was arrested on October 9, 2022, following allegations of defrauding church members during an overnight service.
Initially admitting guilt to charges including fraudulent advertising and obtaining money under false pretenses, she spent two weeks in remand before being granted bail of GH₵150,000 with three sureties, one requiring justification.
Recent updates from Angel FM indicate that the police have presented three witnesses against Agradaa in court.
Her lawyer, Mr. Theophilus Donkor, filed a plea of no case, arguing insufficient evidence and unreliable prosecution witnesses.
The court has granted Agradaa’s defense team the opportunity to call their own witnesses, with a deadline set for August to prepare for their testimonies.
“The police have presented their case with three witnesses testifying. However, Nana Agradaa’s lawyer, Mr. Theophilus Donkor, was not satisfied with the case, deeming it baseless and the prosecution witnesses untrustworthy.
“He filed a ‘Submission of no case’ and the court accepted it, allowing Agradaa’s team to prepare their witnesses. Agradaa’s lawyer stated they are arranging for 50 witnesses to testify, and the court has given them ample time; from now till August, to finalize their preparations.”
