Lawyer Richard Asare Baffour, counsel for controversial Ghanaian televangelist Nana Agradaa, has sparked excitement online after disclosing a possible early release date for his client.
Nana Agradaa, born Patricia Asiedua, was sentenced to 15 years in prison on July 3, 2025, by an Accra Circuit Court. She was convicted on two counts of defrauding by false pretences and one count of charlatanic advertisement.
The conviction stemmed from a 2022 church service during which she allegedly advertised a money-doubling scheme that prosecutors argued was used to defraud members of her congregation.
Following her sentencing, the preacher filed an appeal at the Amasaman High Court, contending that the 15-year jail term was excessive.
Her legal team also argued that the trial judge demonstrated bias and failed to properly apply the law in delivering the sentence.
On Thursday, February 5, 2026, Nana Agradaa appeared before the Amasaman High Court for the ruling on her appeal. After reviewing the case, the court reduced her sentence from 15 years to 12 months on counts two and three.
The decision immediately triggered widespread speculation on social media regarding when the televangelist could regain her freedom. Based on her original sentencing date of July 3, 2025, some observers initially projected a possible release in July 2026.
However, in a recent interview, Lawyer Richard Baffour further shortened the expected timeline. According to him, Nana Agradaa could be released from the Nsawam Prison as early as March 3, 2026.
His comments have since generated jubilation among her supporters, who have taken to social media to express excitement over the possibility of her imminent return.
Further official confirmation from prison authorities is expected to clarify the exact date of her release.
