Nana Agradaa’s 15-year jail term reduced to 12 months

The 15-year prison sentence of controversial evangelist Nana Agradaa has been reduced to 12 calendar months. The Amasaman High Court ruled that the original punishment was harsh and excessive.

In its decision, the court affirmed her conviction but exercised its discretion to vary the sentence, reducing it from the initial 15 years of hard labour imposed by the trial court.

The revised sentence takes effect from the date of her conviction on July 3, 2025, meaning Nana Agradaa will serve a total of 12 months in prison.

The court held that while the offence for which she was convicted warranted punishment, the severity of the original sentence was disproportionate under the circumstances, justifying a downward adjustment.

Nana Agradaa, a former fetish priestess turned evangelist, was convicted earlier this year and handed a 15-year custodial sentence with hard labour, a decision that sparked public debate and legal scrutiny.
