Popular Fetish who turned Prophetess overnight recently Jailed for 15 years for defrauding her church members for financial gain, now has her sentence reduced to one year.
After an appeal ruling of the original punishment, the Amasaman High Court concluded that the initial sentence was excessive for an offence of that nature despite the constitution requirements of up to 25 years jail time.The Amasaman High Court has reduced the prison sentence of controversial evangelist Patricia Asiedu also known as Nana Agradaa from 15 years to 1 year.
The court concluded that while the offence justified a custodial punishment, the initial 15-year term with hard labour was disproportionate to the circumstances of the case.
The current revised sentence is to take effect from the date of her conviction on July 3, 2025. This means she will serve a total of 12 months in prison of which a portion has been served.
Agradaa who was convicted for charlatanic advertisement and defrauding by false pretences is likely to be set free earlier than initially intended.
