The first moments of the former idol worshipper in court have got many talking on social media.
A final sentence has yet to be issued. In the meantime, the court has ordered a pregnancy test to be conducted to ascertain her health condition as per sentencing protocols.
In a video published by GHOneTV, Agradaa was seen being escorted by the police after the court convicted her of defrauding by false pretences, advertising a money-doubling scam, and duping church members.
Agradaa was in a depressed mood as the authorities escorted him in a police vehicle to the hospital for her health examination before the court proceeds with sentencing.
The health examination to check whether Agradaa was pregnant lasted not more than an hour, after which she was brought back to court.
The judge sentenced Agradaa to 15 years in prison with hard labour. Her legal team described her sentence as harsh and decided to appeal for a reduction if it pleases the court.
Until then, the jailed televangelist has been sent to the Nsawam Prison where she will serve her 15-year-sentence unless her appeal is approved by the court.
Why is Agradaa in court?
On October 11, 2023, Agradaa was arraigned and charged with charlatanic advertisement and six counts of defrauding by false pretences.
She pleaded not guilty to the charges and was granted bail. Subsequently, she was charged with similar offences before the Circuit Court 4 and Circuit Court 10, where she has been attending hearings.
The controversial televangelist was accused of advertising a money-doubling scam on Today's TV and some social media platforms.
The accused allegedly invited the public to attend an all-night service at her church so they could have their money doubled.
The facts as presented to the court indicated that over 1000 people who attended the all-night service handed over huge sums of money to Agradaa, but she failed to double the money as promised.
During interrogations, Agradaa admitted the story of the complainants.
