Self-proclaimed pastor Patricia Asiedua, also known as Nana Agradaa, has been arraigned on charges related to possessing indecent materials. She was granted bail of GH¢200,000 after her hearing on Thursday, July 18, 2024.
According to Citi News, Nana Agradaa allegedly broadcast explicit images of a prophet on her television station, Thunder TV, now rebranded as Today’s TV. She is also accused of making derogatory comments about these images and distributing them by using them as labels on drinks for sale.
This is not Nana Agradaa’s first run-in with the law. She was previously arrested and arraigned before the Accra Circuit Court on February 8, 2023, and granted GH¢1 million bail.
Nana Agradaa gained notoriety in Ghana for her involvement in traditional practices before claiming to have undergone a spiritual transformation and transitioning into an evangelist.
In 2021, she was arrested by the National Communications Authority (NCA) during an operation to shut down two TV stations belonging to her: Thunder TV and Ice 1 TV. The NCA stated that Agradaa’s stations, located in Kasoa, had expired licenses and were broadcasting without authorization.
