Nana Agradaa granted 50k bail

Founder of Heavenway Champion International Ministries, Evangelist Patricia Oduro Koranteng, formerly known as Nana Agradaa, has been granted bail by an Accra Circuit Court.

Presiding Judge, Bright Acquah, during a hearing at the Accra Circuit Court 9, on Monday, admitted the accused to a bail amount of GHC50,000 with three sureties.

The sureties according to the court ought to be civil servants earning not less than ¢2,000 a month.

As part of her bail conditions, Agradaa is supposed to report to the police every Wednesday.

This comes after the court, over by Bright Acquah on Thursday, October 13, 2022, struck out a bail plea by her lawyer, Reynold Twumasi.

The case has since been adjourned to November 10, 2022.

Agradaa remains in police custody:

The accused person however is supposed to remain in police custody despite her bail grant by the Accra Circuit Court 9, pending a determination by the Circuit Court 10.

Patricia Oduro Koranteng (Agradaa) is before both courts over alleged scamming claims by her church members.

Whereas Circuit Court 9, presided over by Bright Acquah was originally sitting on the case, a new case was opened against her in Circuit Court 10 subsequently.

The Accra Circuit Court 9, where Agradaa is facing seven (7) counts of fraud charges, on October 13, refused her bail application and remanded her in custody for four days.

This was after the prosecution had admitted that there were thirty new witnesses whose statements they had to take.

The court which was sitting on her case for the second time, scheduled Agradaa’s next appearance for Monday, October 17, 2022.

However, Agradaa was put before the Accra Circuit Court 10 in the early hours of Friday, October 14, 2022, where six new counts of fraud were pressed against her.

During the hearing at Court 10, Agradaa was brought before the court presided over by Evelyn Asamoah to answer the six new charges emanating from the statements of six persons who were victims of her alleged money-doubling scam.

Agradaa is said to have initially declined to give her plea when the charges were read because of the absence of her lawyer in court.

She, however, pleaded guilty to all six counts of fraud.
The presiding judge, therefore, ordered her remand for two weeks and adjourned the case to October 24, 2022.

During a court hearing today, October 17, 2022, Judge Bright Acquah who is in charge of Circuit Court 9 indicated that until Court 10 admits her bail plea, she remains in police custody despite having granted her bail under his ruling.

Ghanaian giants Asante Kotoko have denied reports that they have signed former Black Stars superstar Sulley Muntari, a top official of the Kumasi-based side has told Ghanasoccernet.com

The experienced midfielder Muntari was reported by a journalist on Tuesday night to have agreed to a contract with the Ghanaian champions ahead of their participation in the CAF Champions League.

Sheikh Tophic Sienu reported on his social media profile on Tuesday night that the former Inter Milan star has signed a two-year deal with the club after leaving arch-rivals Hearts of Oak.

The ex-Ghana international was reported to have signed for another Ghana Premier League club after leaving giants Hearts of Oak at the end of the 2021/22 season.

However, the African giants have rubbished the report insisting they have not signed the former AC Milan midfielder, rejecting the claim that they have signed the former Ghana international.

“The story making rounds is false. We have not signed Sulley. I don’t honestly know where Sheikh got that info from,” a top official of Asante Kotoko, on the condition of anonymity, told Ghanasoccernet.com.

Muntari’s experience will be key for the Premier League kingpins in the CAF Champions League.

Council of State Member accused of corruption by Special Prosecutor speaks

Following the accusation by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) that Ms. Eunice Jacqueline Buah Asomah-Hinneh engaged in influence-peddling and allegedly used her position as a member of the Council of State and member of the Board of Directors of the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA) to get a favorable decision from the Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), which led to a reduction in the tax liabilities of Labianca Limited, she has responded and denied any wrongdoing.

Ms. Asomah-Hinneh has told Graphic Online that she did not engage in any wrongdoing and said she was not aware of the report of the OSP or its findings and would speak to it once she apprised herself of the facts from the management of Labianca Company Limited.


“I cannot give any comment because I have not seen any report from the Special Prosecutor. I do not even know that the report is out,” she told Graphic Online.

When asked if she was aware of any investigations by the OSP into her company, she answered in the affirmative.

On whether she was aware of the Special Prosecutor had directed Labianca Company Limited to pay the amount to the state, she said the management of the company usually dealt with those issues and she might not be immediately privy to any such payments, as she had
not been around.

“I have not been around, but the office is there and so next Monday or Tuesday I will call and ask them. It is the management so I will ask them, she added.


She indicated her readiness to grant a full interview to Graphic Online when she returned to Accra.

Petition

Ms. Asomah-Hinneh was re-elected as a member of the Council of State representing the Western Region for a second term last 2021.

She was a member of the Board of Directors of the GPHA from 2017 to 2021.

The OSP commenced investigations into Labianca Company Limited and the Customs Division following a petition filed by one Frank Asare on November 16, 2021, pursuant to Section 27(1) of the OSP Act, 2017 (Act 959).


Mr. Asare, in the petition, accused the Customs Division of the GRA and Labianca Company Limited of involvement in an alleged corrupt deal.

“Mr Speaker, the Committee, therefore, recommends to the House to adopt its Report and pass the Income Tax (Amendment) Bill 2022 by the 1992 Constitution and the Standing Orders of the House,” he said.

Sarkodie’s father, Mr. Augustine Owusu Addo, has made some admissions regarding what he noticed in his son when he was little and the reasoning for his decision to name him Michael.

Some parents choose to name their children after a friend, a family member, a role model, or just someone they adore.

I never thought my son would be so great with music like this – Sarkodie’s father speaks

Mr. Owusu continued by saying he was unaware that Sarkodie would become a prominent musician and that he is now happy with how far he has advanced in the music industry.

Black Sherif becomes Audiomack’s latest artist and cover star
Artist-first music streaming platform Audiomack has announced that it has tapped rising Ghanaian artist Black Sherif as its latest artist.

Black Sherif will be featured on the cover of Audiomack’s prestigious playlist and will receive amplification across the platform’s channels with specialized marketing, editorial, social support, playlisting, custom videos, and more.

“I’m excited to be an Audiomack artist,” Black Sherif said. “I’ve had Audiomack since high school. It was the first platform that I used and convinced my friends to listen to my music. It was easier, and it looked professional. It’s been the primary thing for me to connect with my fans and share music.”

“We’re thrilled to have Black Sherif as our next artist,” Audiomack SVP of Marketing and Brand Strategy Jason Johnson said. “We have been fans of him since his first upload on the platform in 2020 and it is amazing to see his growth over the last two years. We look forward to collaborating with his team to help highlight his talent, expand his brand, and further introduce his music to a diverse array of fans.”

Recently crossing the 100 million global streams milestone on the platform, Sherif’s lean but mighty discography captures his hustler’s tale. His first upload was in August 2020, but he broke with viral 2021 hit “First Sermon,” giving us the “Second Sermon” later that year. In December 2021, Sherif’s star rose even further when Burna Boy hopped on the “Second Sermon” remix.

In March 2022, Sherif released his most introspective song yet, “Kwaku The Traveller.” Cutting and poignant storytelling helped “Kwaku The Traveller” garner over 35 million streams on the platform, making it the most-streamed song of 2022 so far on Audiomack and Black Sherif’s biggest hit to date. He also received major acknowledgment from DJ Khaled, who posted the Ghanian artist’s latest single on his Instagram and heralded it as a “big chune.”

Audiomack’s program has been renowned for helping identify and uplift the new generation of emerging artists across hip-hop, R&B, AfroBeats and more. Previous honourees include Rod Wave, EST Gee, Blxst, Pooh Shiesty, Sheff G, Omah Lay and Ayra Starr, among others.

Earlier this summer, Audiomack reaffirmed its commitment to expanding its global presence by launching Audiomack Punjabi, a new vertical focused on amplifying the renowned genre, introducing the music to new audiences, and featuring versatile playlists highlighting the region’s most popular contemporary artists.

Popular Nollywood star, Hanks Anuku has disclosed to City FM Radio in Ghana that he allegedly infected his wife with HIV and slept with 80 women.

He said this happened when he left for Zambia without his family in 2011 to take part in plays teaching about HIV and AIDS.

“Life in Zambia was heaven on earth because we could enjoy life, moving in all places but I was missing my family. During that time, I had quite a several s*xual activities and I slept with different women. When I came back home, I never took care of the family. I started drinking and became an irresponsible husband, leaving the entire burden to my wife,” he said.

The actor who is also known for his criminal roles in Nigeria home movies said he is now a born-again Christian and regrets all his acts in the past.

“I got tested while I was in Zambia after one of my girlfriends advised me about her pregnancy. She had gone for pregnancy tests and during that time, she was tested for HIV and the results were shocking, she was positive. She forced me to get tested but I could not come to terms with the results. After I got tested, I came back to Zimbabwe, and I kept quiet about the issue. I never told my wife about the issue. I infected her, but I regret it. Later, I received some counseling, and it went well,”

Hanks said his fame misled him into doing things that he wasn’t proud of.

“During my peak of popularity, I had s*x with approximately 80 women, within Harare and Zambia. In 2002 it was so amazing to be on TV. I abused the fame. To make matters worse, I lacked counseling and I failed to handle it properly,

Nollywood Actor, Nkem Owoh rejects N10 Million offer to endorse "Bola Tinubu"

Popular Nollywood actor Nkem Owoh, AKA Osuofia has reportedly rejected a N10 Million offer to endorse Bola Tinubu, APC Presidential candidate ahead of the 2023 Presidential elections.

According to a credible source, the Veteran Nollywood Actor said N10 Million cannot purchase his endorsement, as 2023 is extremely critical for the collective good of all citizens and would never be sold.

It was learnt that Osuofia was offered the usual 5 million Naira for the endorsement of the candidate, but he refused. Even when the offer was doubled on account of his worth, he still rejected the offer.
