Nana Agradaa, a former traditional priestess who is now an evangelist, is scheduled for release from jail on March 3, 2026. Her sentence completion is due to Ghana’s standard remission policy for inmates.
Her legal representative, Richard Asare Baffour, confirmed the projected release date. He clarified that this release is not a special intervention.
The remission policy is a standard practice within the correctional system. It allows for the reduction of a prisoner's sentence based on good behaviour and time served.
Agradaa was convicted of financial crimes. She was serving a custodial sentence for these offences.
The effective date of her release means she will have completed the detention period as adjusted by the remission.
This development comes after legal proceedings and the subsequent sentencing.
The Judicial Service oversees the application of such policies in correctional facilities across the country.
