Evangelist Patricia Asiedua Asiamah, also known as Nana Agradaa, is expected to be released from prison on March 3, 2026. Lawyer Richard Asare Baffour provided clarification on her impending departure.
Mr. Baffour explained that Agradaa's release aligns with Ghana's standard remission policy. This policy is applied to eligible prisoners serving their sentences.
The remission policy allows prisoners to serve a portion of their sentence before the official end date. This is not a form of special favour but a legal provision.
The lawyer confirmed that Agradaa qualifies for this reduction in her jail term. The policy allows prisoners to serve a specified fraction, commonly two-thirds, of their sentence. This is subject to good behaviour during incarceration.
Agradaa was convicted of certain offences. While the specific details of her conviction are not repeated here, her legal team has confirmed her eligibility for early release.
The remission policy serves as an incentive for good conduct within correctional facilities. It is a part of the country's justice system for managing sentences.
Further details regarding the exact calculation for Agradaa's sentence were not provided. However, the key point is her eligibility under the existing laws.
The Ministry of Justice or the Prisons Service oversees the application of such remission policies. These are standard procedures within the correctional system.
