Agradaa and Empress Gifty

Evangelist Patricia Asiedua, also known as Nana Agradaa, has been ordered to pay GH¢100,000 to gospel musician Empress Gifty Oppong Adorye.

This brings an end to the defamation lawsuits filed against Empress Gifty after both parties reached an amicable settlement.

Lawyer for Agradaa revealed on January 20, 2026, that the settlement was adopted as a Consent Judgment by both the Tema Land Court and the Tema Main Court, which now closes the two cases filed in May and June last year.

The gospel musician had sued Agradaa over a series of social media publications, which she described as defamatory and damaging to her reputation, and sought GH¢40 million in damages.

Empress Gifty further requested a perpetual injunction to restrain further defamatory publications and the removal of the offending content from social media.

Following negotiation, the matter was resolved without proceeding to a full trial.

“Under the terms of the settlement, Evangelist Patricia Asiedua agreed to pay GH¢100,000 to Empress Gifty to cover legal fees and related expenses.

She also committed to publicly retracting the statements, issuing a public apology, and requesting that the National Information Technology Agency (NITA) facilitate the removal of the disputed publications from social media platforms.

Richard Asare Baffour confirmed that all the agreed conditions have been fulfilled. The GH¢100,000 has been paid in full, and a public apology has already been rendered in line with the settlement terms”, citinews reported.

Meanwhile, in another case,  Agradaa was convicted in her nude photo distribution case of fellow pastor Osofo Biblical.

In court on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, Agradaa was fined GHS12,000 and was also ordered to pay GHS50,000 as compensation to the complainant, Osofo Biblical.

The court decision follows a plea bargain agreement reached between Agradaa and the State.

The case spanned nearly three years.

It will be recalled that Agradaa was charged for allegedly broadcasting nude images of Pastor Appiah Fumum on her television station and social media platforms.

The Prosecutors revealed that the nude images were aired during a live programme where panellists mocked the complainant.

After the court proceeding, Agradaa’s lawyer said the decision by the court was opt for a plea bargain rather than a full trial, which brought finality to the matter.

Speaking to the media after the ruling, counsel for Nana Agradaa stated, “This case has been running for the past three years. Choosing the plea bargain option brought it to an end”.
