Richard Asare Baffour, legal counsel for former fetish priestess turned evangelist Patricia Asiedua Asiamah, popularly known as Nana Agradaa, has dismissed claims suggesting she has not yet been transferred to the Nsawam Female Prison following her sentencing.
His response comes after the Director of the Crime Check Foundation, Ibrahim Oppong Kwarteng, alleged that checks by his outfit indicated Nana Agradaa had not been moved to the Nsawam facility, despite being sentenced days earlier.
In an exclusive interview with Ghana Weekend on Wednesday July 9, Baffour confirmed that his client is indeed in the Nsawam Female Prison and added that he was on his way to visit her.
“She is in Nsawam Prison, and as a matter of fact, I will be there in a couple of minutes, so the rumours going around that Agradaa is not at Nsawam are completely false,” he stated.
Providing further clarification, he added, “She was sentenced on Thursday and there were some documentation that had to be done, so immediately that documentation was completed, she was remitted to Nsawam Prison. As far as I am concerned, she is at Nsawam.”
Baffour disclosed that all legal processes have been completed and their application for bail is currently before the court.
“All the processes are filed and I think the bail application will be ruled next week Tuesday,” he revealed.
Expressing confidence in their case, he said, “We are confident in our case, so we believe we will be granted audience.”
He concluded with a call for calm among the public and supporters of the evangelist: “I just want all Ghanaians to be calm. Agradaa’s fans should be calm. I think at the end of the day, we will cross the bridge.”
