Bukom Bnaku (L) has called on President Mahama to pardon Nana Agradaa (R)
Retired boxer, Braimah Kamoko, popularly known as Bukom Banku, has called on President John Dramani Mahama to intervene and show mercy to Patricia Asiedua Asiamah, popularly known as Nana Agradaa, who was recently sentenced to 15 years in prison.
Nana Agradaa, a former traditional priestess turned evangelist, was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment by the Circuit Court in Accra on July 3, 2025, after being found guilty of defrauding her followers.
However, despite acknowledging Agradaa’s crimes, Banku argued that the punishment is too harsh and has urged Mahama to pardon her.
“I am deeply saddened by Agradaa’s situation. John Mahama, please, if she has done something wrong, find it in your heart to forgive her. Fifteen years in jail is too painful for me to bear,” he said.
Banku, however, didn’t mince words, calling Agradaa out for repeatedly committing crimes and proudly showing off her bad deeds instead of behaving better.
“Agradaa, you are always getting into trouble. A beautiful woman like you, yet you keep taking people’s money and hiring macho men to intimidate them. You even come on social media and brag about how wicked and dangerous you are,” he added.
The verdict has generated widespread public reactions, with many praising the ruling as a strong stand for justice and a clear warning to others involved in similar scams.
But Banku believes the widespread joy isn’t needed as Agradaa could die inside prison.
“If she were your mother or father, you’d be pained too. So, Mahama, as the father of the nation, I’m begging, please look into her matter for me, else she can die in there,” he further stated.
