The Amasaman High Court has slashed the prison sentence of evangelist Patricia Asiedu, popularly known as Nana Agradaa, from 15 years to just 12 months.
The court exercised its discretionary powers, agreeing that a custodial sentence was warranted for her crimes of charlatanic advertisement and defrauding by false pretences, but that the initial term with hard labour was too severe.
The new one-year sentence will be calculated from the date of her original conviction on July 3, 2025.
The case, involving the former fetish priestess-turned-evangelist, had drawn intense scrutiny and debate since the trial court’s unexpectedly harsh punishment.
