The Police is pleading with an Accra Circuit Court to issue a bench warrant for the arrest of Patricia Asiedua also known as Nana Agradaa for failing to appear in court.
At an Accra Circuit Court on Wednesday, Superintendent of Police Sylvester Asare informed the Court that since Nana Agradaa was granted bail with conditions set out by the Court, she has defied the court’s order and that efforts to make her comply with the court’s order had been difficult.
According to the prosecution, the founder of Heaven Champions International Ministry was not cooperating with the Police.
The prosecution said the accused person was to appear before Circuit Court 10 Wednesday, January 11, 2023 but failed to show up.
It further added the Police received information at another Circuit Court that the accused person was unaware of the next adjourned date, however, her representative was aware of the date, and he turned up in court.
The prosecution submitted that the only way to compel Nana Agradaa to appear in court was for the Court to issue a bench warrant.
However, Mr Paul Asibi Abariga, counsel for Nana Agradaa, said he has filed a document before the court, indicating that his client was unwell.
Mr Abariga, therefore, prayed the court to disregard the prosecution’s submissions, inviting the Court to issue a bench warrant.
The Court presided over by Mr Samuel Bright Acquah urged defense counsel to advise Nana
Nana Agradaa has three different cases before three Circuit Courts in Accra.
The founder of the Heaven Champions International Ministry was arrested on October 9 2022, for an alleged money-doubling scam.
