Founder of the Heaven Way Champion International Ministry Patricia Asiedua, also known as Nana Agradaa, has been charged for sharing nude pictures of a prophet.
The embattled founder was charged with non-consensual sharing of intimate images contrary to Sections 67(1) of the Cybersecurity Act (Act 1038).
She was arraigned before the Accra Circuit Court 10, presided over by Her Honour Mrs Evelyn Asamoah on Wednesday, February 8, 2023.

The four are Enock Owusu Kissi, 33, Charles Omane alias One Gig, 39, Emmanuel Kofi Gyasi, 47, and one Andy, who is currently at large.
The prosecutor said the complainant, Emmanuel Appiah Fomum, a prophet, said sometime in 2020, Patricia Asieduwaa, who was the owner of a TV station called ‘Thunder TV’ hosted a programme on her TV station and intentionally showed the naked pictures of the complainant on live TV.
The prosecutor said Nana Agradaa made a mockery of him with all the other accused persons who were panellists on the said programme encouraging her on the course.
He said the said programme was also streamed live on Youtube and Facebook, where a witness, in this case, saw it and informed the complainant about it.
The prosecutor told the court that the 1st accused also intentionally distributed intimate images of the complainant to a witness in this case via WhatsApp.
Nana Agradaa has, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Kissi and Omane, who were also arraigned, pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Meanwhile, they have all been granted GHc100,000.00 bail with three sureties each.
They are to reappear before the court on March 8, 2023.
