Agradaa, another ordered to file plea deal terms in nude image sharing case
The court said the document must be filed no fewer than three clear days before 16 December 2025, the next scheduled sitting.
A High Court in Accra has instructed the legal team for evangelist Patricia Asieduaa, widely known as Nana Agradaa, and her co-accused to formally lodge the terms of a proposed plea bargain before the case resumes later this month.
The court said the document must be filed no fewer than three clear days before 16 December 2025, the next scheduled sitting.
During Tuesday’s hearing, state prosecutors signalled that they were considering a bench warrant for the second accused, arguing that she had failed to appear. Defence lawyers countered that they had never been served with any notice to attend court.
The judge reminded the registry of its duty and directed that proper service be effected before the next hearing.
Counsel for Agradaa told the court that discussions with the Office of the Attorney-General had reached an advanced stage, prompting a request for a short adjournment to finalise negotiations.
Prosecutors confirmed that the complainant — Pastor Emmanuel Appiah Fumum, also known as Osofo Biblical — has been involved in the discussions and was in court for Tuesday’s session.
The case relates to allegations that Agradaa broadcast intimate images of the complainant on television and social media without his consent.
Prosecutors say the images were aired during a live programme in which panellists made derisive comments — conduct outlawed under the Cybersecurity Act, 2020 (Act 1038), which prohibits the non-consensual publication of intimate material.
Agradaa, who is currently serving a 15-year prison sentence in an unrelated fraud matter, was brought to court for the hearing.
Defence counsel raised objections to recent media interviews given by the complainant, alleging that he had made public comments about Agradaa’s condition in prison.
The trial judge urged the prosecution to caution the complainant, saying such commentary was inappropriate while proceedings remained active.
The court is expected to review the proposed plea bargain on 16 December. Should an agreement be reached, the judge will determine whether it satisfies statutory requirements before deciding whether to adopt it.
