Lawyer representing Ghanaian gospel musician, Empress Gifty, has stated that he has forgiven the founder of Heaven Way Church, Evangelist Patricia Asiedua, popularly known as Nana Agradaa, for her “so-called lawyer comment”.
On June 16, 2025, the lead counsel for Empress Gifty, in a letter, demanded an apology from Agradaa for referring to him as a “so-called lawyer.”
The document references a viral social media video where Agradaa was seen addressing him as a “so-called lawyer” after their first court appearance.
In a recent development, the lead counsel for Empress Gifty, Patrick Tawiah-Amprofi, in a media briefing after appearing in court on July 16, 2025, noted that he and his firm have forgiven the preacher of her sins.
He explained that Agradaa has shown signs of remorse; therefore, they have retracted their earlier demand for an apology.
“The last time we met, I noted that Patricia Asiedua had made some defamatory remarks about me, for which I wrote a statement demanding an apology. I have seen a video in which she apologised. So I want to note that and my law firm and I have forgiven her,” he said.
Meanwhile, after appearing in court on July 16, 2025, Empress Gifty’s lawyers confirmed that Agradaa had filed an application praying for the Tema High Court to transfer its case to the Eastern Region.
In their defence, Agradaa’s lawyers argued that frequent transportation from Nsawam to Accra would be a problem for their clients.
Empress Gifty and Agradaa GH¢20m defamation suit:
Empress Gifty, in May 2025, filed a GH¢20 million defamation suit against Nana Agradaa, accusing her of making vulgar and damaging false claims, including allegations of promiscuity and bestiality, during a live social media broadcast.
In June, the Tema High Court dismissed her motion to strike out the case, ordering her to pay GH¢6,000 in costs, and confirmed the defamation case will proceed despite her concurrent 15-year prison sentence for fraud.
