The High Court in Accra has instructed lawyers in the case involving Patricia Asieduaa, popularly known as Nana Agradaa, and her co-accused to submit the full terms of their proposed plea bargain before the next hearing.
The Court said the agreement must be filed at least three clear days before the adjourned date of December 16, 2025.
During the proceedings on Tuesday, December 2, prosecutors told the Court that they were considering applying for a bench warrant for the second accused. But the defence lawyers argued that they had not received any hearing notice for their client.
Counsel for Nana Agradaa informed the Court that discussions with the Office of the Attorney-General on a possible plea bargain were “far advanced” and requested a short adjournment. The prosecutor confirmed that the complainant, Pastor Emmanuel Appiah Fumum, had been part of the discussions and was present in court.
The presiding judge directed the Court Registry to ensure that the second accused is properly served with a hearing notice before the next sitting.
The case relates to allegations that Nana Agradaa, a former fetish priestess turned evangelist, broadcast nude images of Pastor Fumum, also known as Osofo Biblical on her TV channel and social media without his consent. Prosecutors say the images were shown during a live programme where panelists mocked the pastor, an act they say breaches the Cybersecurity Act, 2020 (Act 1038), which forbids the sharing of intimate images without permission.
Nana Agradaa, who is already serving a 15-year jail sentence in another case involving defrauding by false pretence, was present in court.
Her lawyers complained about recent media interviews granted by the complainant, where he allegedly claimed that Agradaa had been in poor condition since her imprisonment. The judge advised the prosecution to caution the complainant against making such public statements while the case is ongoing.
