CSP Abdul Latif Rules Out Nana Agradaa from Presidential Amnesty List

The Ghana Prisons Service has officially dismissed widespread reports that controversial preacher-turned-evangelist Nana Agradaa (Patricia Asiamah) was among the beneficiaries of the recent presidential amnesty granted by President Mahama.

CSP Abdul Latif, the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Ghana Prisons Service, addressed the rumors in a televised interview. He confirmed that Nana Agradaa does not qualify for amnesty at this time, emphasizing that the process had already been finalized before her incarceration commenced.

Amnesty Criteria Not Met by Nana Agradaa

CSP Latif explained the established criteria for eligibility in the presidential amnesty. Inmates must have served at least half of their sentence, and their cases are assessed by a panel of prison officials before being recommended for pardon. Nana Agradaa, having only recently begun serving her prison term, has not yet met this halfway threshold, rendering her ineligible for consideration.

He also noted that the amnesty process concluded prior to her conviction and sentencing, making it impossible for her to have been included in the amnesty list.

Background: Nana Agradaa’s Conviction

Nana Agradaa was sentenced on July 3, 2025, by an Accra Circuit Court, receiving a 15-year prison term with hard labour. She was found guilty on two counts of defrauding by false pretences and one count of charlatanic advertisement. These charges stem from a televised broadcast in 2022 where she claimed to possess spiritual powers capable of doubling money—claims that defrauded numerous followers.

Public Reaction and Next Steps

News that President Mahama had granted amnesty to 998 prisoners on August 18, 2025, prompted speculation about which high-profile inmates might be included. However, CSP Latif’s clarification has firmly quashed any belief that Nana Agradaa was among them.

While she may become eligible in the future, this will depend on serving the requisite portion of her sentence and being selected by the designated panel.

At least half sentence served; panel selection required

Courier riders across the country have raised serious concerns over the high cost of licensing and what they describe as unfair arrests by the Postal and Courier Services Regulatory Commission.

In a petition submitted to the Youth Employment Agency (YEA), the riders appealed to Chief Executive Officer Malik Basintale to intervene and protect their livelihoods. According to them, the rising fees and ongoing arrests are threatening their operations and pushing many out of business.

Responding to their concerns, Mr. Basintale confirmed that he has already engaged the Minister of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovation, Hon. Sam George, on the matter. He revealed that the Minister assured him immediate steps are being taken to stop the arrests while a lasting solution to the licensing challenges is worked out.

The intervention is expected to bring relief to thousands of young people who depend on courier services for their daily income, as discussions continue to make licensing more affordable and supportive of youth employment.

Medikal Exposed For Turning His Back On Shatta Wale?

The streets are talking, and the question on everyone’s lips is simple: Where was Medikal when Shatta Wale needed him most?

Fans say Medikal has proven to be a “fair-weather friend”—all smiles, hugs, and hype when the news is good, but completely silent when the storm hit. While loyal SM fans flooded social media calling for Wale’s release from EOCO, Medikal reportedly stayed quiet—no posts, no appearances, no encouragement to the movement.

To make matters worse, just yesterday, while his close ally Shatta Wale was still facing detention drama, Medikal was busy sharing food snaps on Snapchat. For many fans, this was the last straw—a clear sign that his priorities may not align with the brotherhood he always preaches.

Now, SM fans are warning Shatta Wale to be cautious. In their eyes, true loyalty is tested in difficult times, not in moments of celebration. They argue that a real friend would have stood firmly by Wale’s side, both publicly and privately, when the world was watching.

As the conversation grows louder online, the big debate remains: has Medikal just been exposed as a sellout, or is there more to the story than fans are seeing?

Released August 8, 2025, the track leans into chemistry—call-and-response phrases, soft ad-libs, and a bridge that breaks just enough to set up a final chorus lift. Early spins suggest strong radio traction and playlist adds across Ghana and the diaspora.

The collaboration is savvy: OliveTheBoy’s youthful tone meshes with Shay’s seasoned delivery, opening the door to cross-demographic reach. For Wendy Shay, the single arrives amid conversation about her status as one of Ghana’s most consistently streamed female acts—momentum that a well-timed duet can amplify. Expect performance clips, a visual rollout, and remix possibilities tailored for amapiano and uptempo club formats. 

With end-of-summer shows on deck, “Crazy Love” has the ingredients to stick around: memorable lyrics, duet dynamics, and a tempo that DJs can slide into both daytime and late-night sets. Watch for choreography challenges and live acoustic flips to further boost its cultural footprint.

A classic silhouette is back in the spotlight as Nana Ama McBrown, Serwaa Amihere and other style leaders fuel a kaba-and-long-skirt resurgence on Ghanaian timelines. Recent photo drops have triggered trending threads dissecting fabric choices, tailoring, headwrap pairings and how the look translates from churchwear to red-carpet glam. Fashion editors say the revival blends nostalgia with a modern, body-positive fit—exactly the type of cyclical trend that social media accelerates. 

The conversation isn’t just aesthetic. Designers report increased inquiries about bespoke versions, with bridesmaids’ requests and weekend-owambe bookings rising in tandem. Comment sections brim with practical tips—where to source kente blends, the merits of hand-beading, and how to style with minimalist jewelry. For influencers, it’s a win-win: heritage-forward content with algorithm-friendly visuals.

Black Sherif has stoked album chatter with a new visualizer for “Victory Song,” a highlight from his 2025 project Iron Boy. The minimalist drop keeps the camera on mood and motion rather than spectacle—an aesthetic that’s become a hallmark of the star’s rollouts—while fans dissect lyric fragments across socials. Music outlets also spotlight the record as among the year’s notable Afropop moments so far, reflecting Sherif’s enduring grip on youth culture narratives.

The Iron Boy campaign has leaned on a cadence of videos, COLORS-style performances and street-level virality, with tracks moving fluidly between streaming charts and DJ rotations. “Victory Song,” in particular, rides Sherif’s gravelly storytelling and triumphant cadence, landing as both a motivational soundtrack and a post-show singalong. As the visualizer circulates, expectations are building for a full video treatment or tour visuals tailored to the record’s soaring hook. 

Sherif’s penchant for framing personal struggle as collective catharsis continues to resonate. If the Iron Boy cycle maintains its current tempo—with more visuals and targeted live appearances—the project could define the second half of Ghana’s 2025 music calendar. For now, the new upload has reset the conversation and handed DJs another excuse to spin the track into golden-hour sets.

Stonebwoy’s selection aligns with a hot streak of releases and international dates, making him a logical anchor for a festival that thrives on cross-genre mashups. Expect a setlist mixing smash hits with newer material, plus cameos from surprise guests—an increasingly common device at Ghana’s large-format shows. For emerging acts, Tidal Rave offers discovery moments on secondary stages, where DJs and live bands feed a day-long carousel of energy before the headliner closes out under lights. 

With tourism and creative-economy stakeholders backing coastal festivals, 2025’s edition is poised to drive hospitality spend across the weekend. The only question is weather—always a wildcard for outdoor events—but organizers say contingency plans and upgraded staging will keep performances running smoothly. For fans, the headliner announcement starts the countdown: seaside singalongs, camera flashes and the signature Tidal Rave surge when the beat drops.

The artist has also been active on the live front, with surprise appearances and street-DJ cameos feeding a grassroots buzz between marquee bookings. Fans say the new video balances summertime ease with the earnest storytelling that powered earlier hits, offering a mid-year soundbed that fits radio rotations and curated playlists. With his brand anchored in global collaborations and homegrown rhythms, Stonebwoy’s latest output strengthens his foothold in both Afrobeats and reggae-dancehall listener circles. 

Industry watchers note the release lands just as coastal festivals ramp up, where feel-good mid-tempo records tend to resonate. Expect “Lovely Weather” to feature heavily in setlists and DJ blends through August, benefiting from its singalong chorus and crisp mix. The single’s trajectory will be worth tracking alongside potential remixes—an avenue Stonebwoy has historically explored to stretch a record’s lifespan and crossover appeal.
