A Tema High Court has directed evangelist Patricia Asiedua, popularly known as Nana Agradaa, to pay GH¢100,000 in damages to gospel musician Empress Gifty Adorye following a defamation suit levelled against her. The ruling, reported by GHOne News on January 20, 2026, brings closure to a case that began in May 2025, when Empress Gifty filed a GH¢20 million defamation lawsuit against Agradaa over what she described as slanderous and libelous statements made during a series of live social media broadcasts.
