Tema: A Tema High Court has directed evangelist Patricia Asiedua, popularly known as Nana Agradaa, to pay GHS100,000 in damages to gospel musician Empress Gifty Adorye following a defamation suit levelled against her.
According to Ghana Web, the ruling brings closure to a case that began in May 2025, when Empress Gifty filed a GHS20 million defamation lawsuit against Agradaa over what she described as slanderous and libelous statements made during a series of live social media broadcasts.
The suit, filed through Osei Aidoh Akpokavie and Co. at the Tema High Court, also sought a perpetual injunction to restrain Agradaa from making further defamatory remarks, as well as an order compelling her to remove all offending content from her social media platforms.
In December 2025, Agradaa formally retracted and disowned all allegations against Empress Gifty, admitting through her lawyers, Agyaa Asamani Law Consult, that the claims were false and made ‘in the spur of the moment.’
Agradaa also issued an unqualified apology to Empress Gifty, acknowledging the damage caused to her reputation, career, and personal life. She also extended regret to the musician’s family, friends, and associates.
