Speaking after the hearing, Agradaa’s lawyer urged Ghanaians to learn from the televangelist’s predicament and avoid following a similar path.

“Let this serve as a lesson to the public to exercise caution and integrity in their dealings,” the lawyer said, in a statement captured on a TikTok video after the court session.

The case stems from allegations that Agradaa and two others breached the Cybersecurity Act by allegedly sharing explicit images of Appiah Biblical on Thunder TV (now Today TV) in 2021. The dispute reportedly began over a sum of GH₵10,000, which Agradaa claimed was owed to her.

Following a police complaint filed by Appiah Biblical, Agradaa was arrested and charged with possession of indecent material. She was later granted bail of GH₵200,000 with two approved sureties on 18 July 2024. Reports indicated that she made derogatory comments concerning the images in question.

On 7 July 2025, the court ordered that Agradaa be brought from Nsawam Prison to appear for a final ruling in the matter. Subsequently, she sought a plea bargain arrangement with Attorney General Dominic Akuritinga Ayine.

The ruling marks the culmination of a highly publicised case that has drawn national attention, highlighting issues of online misconduct and accountability in the digital age.
