A court rejected Nana Agradaa's attempt to stop a major defamation case against her. The media personality known as Mama Pat faced Tema High Court on Thursday. Empress Gifty filed the 20 million cedi lawsuit after facing public accusations. The judge ordered Agradaa to pay 6,000 cedis to cover legal expenses. Supporters of the gospel singer cheered outside the courthouse after the decision.
Agradaa had made claims about Empress Gifty's personal relationships on social media. She accused the singer of having affairs with religious leaders and other men. The media figure suggested these relationships helped fund the gospel artist's lifestyle. Empress Gifty responded through her legal team with the defamation suit. The court found Agradaa's dismissal request had no legal basis.
The ruling means the main lawsuit will continue through the court system. Empress Gifty's attorney plans additional legal steps against Agradaa. The defendant has shown no signs of backing down from her position. Court hearings for the full case will begin within weeks. The 20 million cedi claim represents one of Ghana's largest defamation cases.
