I also have some phones, computers, bags, and a few other items that I took from his room for safekeeping.

Here’s when Nana Agradaa could be released from prison
General News of Tuesday, 10 February 2026Source: www.ghanaweb.comRichard Asare Baffour, lawyer for televangelist Nana Agradaa (Patricia Asiedua), has stated that she is expected to be released from prison on March 3, 2026, following a recent court ruling. Speaking in an interview on Starr FM on February 9, 2026, Baffour explained that the Amasaman High Court reduced Agradaa’s original 15-year prison sentence to a 12-month custodial term after finding the initial punishment excessive. When you are handed down a prison term, there's a remission scheme. Meaning Agradaa could be eligible for release after serving just 8 months out of the 12 months. Agradaa was initially convicted in July 2025 on charges including charlatanic advertisement and defrauding by false pretence after allegedly operating a money-doubling scheme through her ministry.

COCOBOD 'default' claims in question as bank letter shows 2023/24 syndicated loan fully paid
Boafo argues that this effectively clears any suggestion of default and reinforces COCOBOD’s long-standing record in syndicated loan servicing. Historically, COCOBOD has maintained a strong reputation in the international syndicated loan market, and this letter reinforces that record,” Boafo said. Boafo insists that the bank’s discharge letter raises serious questions about the basis of those claims. Industry observers say Ghana’s cocoa syndicated loans have historically been oversubscribed, largely due to COCOBOD’s reputation for repayment discipline and the strength of Ghana’s cocoa forward-sales structure. COCOBOD has not yet publicly responded to the specific claims surrounding the discharge letter.
