Agradaa is seeking to overturn both her conviction and the 15-year prison term imposed on 3 July 2025, after she was found guilty of charlatanic advertisement and defrauding by false pretence.
The Amasaman High Court has fixed 5 February 2026 to deliver a ruling in the appeal filed by evangelist Patricia Asiedua Asiamah, widely known as Nana Agradaa, after adjourning the hearing.
Agradaa is seeking to overturn both her conviction and the 15-year prison term imposed on 3 July 2025, after she was found guilty of charlatanic advertisement and defrauding by false pretence. She argues the trial process was defective, insists the evidence did not justify the verdict, and says the sentence was disproportionate.
Speaking after proceedings on Wednesday, 21 January 2026, her lawyer Richard Asare Baffour said the adjournment followed what he described as the Attorney-General’s Office failing to comply with earlier directions from the court.
He said delays were also linked to technical issues involving electronic evidence required for the appeal.
Mr Baffour said the defence opposed an application by the Attorney-General’s Office for extra time to file submissions.
The court, he said, has now set 5 February for its ruling, while leaving room for the Attorney-General’s Office to submit written addresses if it chooses.
“The court has adjourned the case to February 5, 2026, to deliver its judgment. By then, the Office of the Attorney-General will have the opportunity to file its written addresses, if it is minded to do so,” he told reporters.
