Richard Asare Baffour, legal counsel for embattled evangelist Patricia Asiedua Asiamah, popularly known as Nana Agradaa, has rubbished claims that his client is yet to be moved to the Nsawam Female Prison following her recent sentencing.
The rebuttal follows comments made by Ibrahim Oppong Kwarteng, Executive Director of the Crime Check Foundation, who suggested that checks by his organization revealed Nana Agradaa had not been transferred to the facility days after her sentencing.
In an exclusive interview with Ghana Weekend on Wednesday, July 9, Mr. Baffour set the record straight, affirming that the former fetish priestess is indeed in custody at Nsawam.
“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 said.
He further explained that although there was a short delay due to official procedures, the necessary documentation was completed promptly, leading to her transfer.
“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,” he clarified.
Mr. Baffour also revealed that all legal steps have been taken, with a bail application already filed and awaiting a decision.
“All the processes are filed and I think the bail application will be ruled next week Tuesday,” he said.
The lawyer expressed optimism about the outcome of the case, stating, “We are confident in our case, so we believe we will be granted audience.”
He concluded by appealing for calm among supporters and the general public: “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.”
