On Tuesday, December 16, 2025, the judge in charge of the case fined the Heaven Way International church founder GH₵12,000 and ordered her to pay GH₵50,000 in compensation to Appiah Biblical.
Speaking to the media after the court session, Agradaa's lawyer detailed the court ruling and the punishment meted out to his client.
He noted that he and his client successfully finalised an agreement with the government during a meeting with the Attorney General, Dominic Akuritinga Ayine.
He noted that he and the televangelist opted for a plea bargain instead of prolonging the legal case due to her current condition in the Nsawam female prison and that she wanted peace.
The lawyer advised Ghanaians to learn from the televangelist's situation and abstain from following in her footsteps.
The Instagram videos of Agradaa's lawyer speaking after the court session are below:
Agradaa's court case with Appiah Biblical
Agradaa and two other individuals have been accused of breaching the Cybersecurity Act after they allegedly shared explicit images of Appiah Biblical on Thunder TV (now Today TV) in 2021.
The two individuals had been involved in a publicised feud concerning an amount of GH¢10,000, which the televangelist claimed was owed to her.
Agradaa was arrested and charged with possession of indecent materials after Appiah Biblical filed a police case.

The court later granted her bail amounting to GH¢200,000, with the requirement of two justified sureties on July 18, 2024. She was reported to have made derogatory comments about the images.

The embattled televangelist later sought a plea bargain agreement with Attorney General Dominic Akuritinga Ayine in the case.
