Lawyer Richard Asare Baffour has clarified that the anticipated release of evangelist Patricia Asiedua Asiamah, popularly known as Nana Agradaa, on March 3, 2026, is in line with Ghana’s standard remission policy and not due to any special treatment.
According to the lawyer, the remission policy allows qualifying prisoners to serve only two-thirds of their sentence, with the remaining one-third remitted by the state.
He explained that Nana Agradaa, who was sentenced to 12 months, would therefore serve eight months under this provision.
“The sentence took effect retrospectively from July 3, 2025, the date of conviction and imprisonment. Serving eight months from that date sets her release for March 3, 2026,” he said.
He emphasised that the remission policy applies to all eligible prisoners and is not a special dispensation for any individual.
“There is no special treatment given to anyone. It applies to all prisoners, including Mama Pats,” he added.
Nana Agradaa, a former traditional priestess turned evangelist, was convicted on charges related to fraudulent religious practices, a case that attracted nationwide attention due to her controversial public profile.
