Founder and leader of Heaven Way Church, Evangelist Patricia Asiedu, popularly known as Agradaa
The founder and leader of Heaven Way Church, Evangelist Patricia Asiedu, popularly known as Agradaa, has sought a plea bargain in an ongoing court case in which she and two others are facing charges for distributing nude images of Prophet Emmanuel Appiah Enim.
Agradaa appeared before the Accra High Court on July 30, 2025, as proceedings continued.
According to reports, during the hearing, her legal team disclosed that they were in discussions with the Attorney General, Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, to reach a plea bargain agreement.
The court has adjourned the case to October 21, 2025, to allow time for the outcome of the negotiations.
Background
The case dates back to 2021, when Agradaa became embroiled in a heated public dispute with Prophet Emmanuel Appiah Enim.
What began as a typical online war of words escalated when Agradaa allegedly aired nude images of the prophet during a broadcast on Thunder TV (now Today’s TV), a television station she owned.
She was arrested in 2022 and charged under Section 67(1) of the Cybersecurity Act (Act 1038) for the non-consensual distribution of intimate images.
The case intensified in July 2024, when she appeared in court on additional charges of possessing and distributing indecent material.
Reports indicated that not only did she share the images during a live broadcast, but she also used them to promote a product, reportedly a type of herbal bitters.
Agradaa was subsequently granted bail set at GH¢200,000, with the condition of providing two justified sureties.
If the plea bargain process is successful, Agradaa and her co-accused could avoid a full trial by reaching an agreement with the state, potentially involving an admission of guilt in exchange for a reduced sentence or fine.
