The Amasaman High Court has significantly reduced the prison sentence of controversial evangelist Nana Agradaa, ruling that her original punishment was excessive.
In a judgment delivered on Thursday, February 5, 2026, the court confirmed her conviction but shortened her custodial term to 12 months.
The presiding judge explained that the initial sentence of 15 years with hard labour, handed down by the trial court, was disproportionate to the circumstances of the case and warranted adjustment.
The revised sentence will take effect from the date of her conviction on July 3, 2025, meaning Nana Agradaa will now serve one year in prison.
While acknowledging that her offence required punishment, the court stressed that principles of fairness and proportionality must guide sentencing, prompting the reduction in her term.
Nana Agradaa, a former fetish priestess turned self-styled evangelist, had originally received the 15-year sentence—a ruling that sparked widespread public debate and drew legal scrutiny nationwide.
With the appellate decision, her conviction remains intact, but the length of her imprisonment has been substantially shortened.
