Retired Ghanaian boxer and entertainer, Braimah Kamoko, popularly known as Bukom Banku, has made an emotional appeal to President John Dramani Mahama to show compassion towards jailed former fetish priestess turned evangelist, Patricia Asiedua Asiamah, popularly known as Nana Agradaa.
In a viral video sighted by Ghana Weekend, Bukom Banku broke down in tears as he begged the President to pardon Agradaa following her recent conviction and 15-year prison sentence.
“President Mahama, Father of the Nation, even if Agradaa has wronged you, Father forget. Father, 15 years for jail, daddy, I am hurt,” he wept.
He expressed concern about the emotional toll the sentence could have on Agradaa’s family, warning that the lengthy term could break her spirit or worse.
“Agradaa, you are always doing wrong. Nice lady like you always defrauding people. You’re advised but don’t listen, always bragging on social media about your bad behaviour. But you’re still a human being like me. Forgive her,” he pleaded.
Bukom Banku stressed that his appeal had nothing to do with politics but was grounded in empathy and concern for a fellow Ghanaian.
“President Mahama, have mercy on Agradaa. If care is not taken, she can even die in jail. I’m hurt. Free Agradaa from prison. It’s very sad,” he said.
On Thursday, July 3, 2025, an Accra Circuit Court sentenced Nana Agradaa to 15 years in prison with hard labour after she was found guilty of multiple counts of charlatanic advertisement and defrauding by false pretence.
