Ghanaian self-proclaimed pastor Patricia Asiedua, aka Nana Agradaa, was arraigned for allegedly airing explicit images on television and granted bail of GH¢200,000 after her hearing on Thursday.
Citi News reported that Nana Agradaa allegedly broadcast explicit images of a prophet on her television station, Thunder TV, now rebranded as Today’s TV.
She is reported to have also made derogatory comments about those images and is accused of distributing these explicit images by using them as labels on drinks for sale.
Recall that Nana Agradaa was first arrested and arraigned before the Accra Circuit Court on 8 February 2023 but was granted GH¢1 million bail.
She gained notoriety in Ghana for her involvement in traditional practices while claiming that she had undergone a spiritual transformation in recent years and transitioned into an evangelist.
In 2021, she was arrested by the National Communications Authority (NCA) during an operation.
The NCA’s operation with the police was to shut down two TV stations belonging to Agradaa: Thunder TV and Ice 1 TV.
A statement from the NCA indicated that Agradaa’s stations, located at Kasoa, had expired licenses and were thus broadcasting without authorisation.
