Former traditional priestess turned evangelist, Patricia Asiedua Asiamah, popularly known as Nana Agradaa, has filed an appeal challenging her 15 year jail sentence for fraud by the Accra Circuit Court.<\/p>\n

The appeal filed at the Amasaman High Court today \u00a0is seeking a reversal of the decision by the Circuit Court.<\/p>\n

The grounds of appeal are that the trial was wrong in law and the judgment cannot be supported by the evidence on record.<\/p>\n

Particulars\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lawyer for Agradaa, Richard Asare Baffour, argues that the trial was wrong in law because the trial court judge denied Agradaa a fair trial.<\/p>\n

The appeal further accused the trial circuit judge of bias against Agradaa, and claims the sentence was harsh and excessive.<\/p>\n

Sentence\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Agradaa was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment each on two counts of defrauding by false pretence , with the court ordering Agradaa to serve the two sentence concurrent.<\/p>\n

The convict was also fined Ghc300 for charlatanic advertisement .<\/p>\n

The conviction and sentence stemmed from a televised broadcast in 2022 in which Agradaa told the public she was willing share Ghc300,0000 to the needy during a church service \u00a0, but ended up taking various sum of money from people without giving out any money.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
