Social Media Conduct Central to Agradaa’s Conviction, Lawyer Says
By Esther Korantemaa Offei
Legal counsel for controversial figure Agradaa has attributed her recent conviction in part to her conduct on social media, while expressing optimism that she will reform her online presence.
Speaking in an interview on ZED FM, Richard Asare Baffour Esq. said the primary area of concern in Agradaa’s life remains her digital activity, which he believes has significantly shaped public perception and contributed to her legal challenges.
“As I said, the only aspect of Agradaa’s life that requires improvement, which we are confident of, is her activities on social media,” Baffour stated.
He argued that much of the public’s understanding of Agradaa is based solely on what they encounter online. “Everything you know about her is what you have seen on social media. If you take those activities off and you get close, very close, to her, you will notice Agradaa has a different personality,” he said.
According to the lawyer, Agradaa’s personal character contrasts sharply with her online persona. He described her as compassionate and well-intentioned. “She has a good heart. She is a very loving person and she means well for people,” he explained.
However, Baffour acknowledged that her tendency to respond emotionally to criticism or controversy has often escalated matters. “At times, when things come her way and she feels so strongly about them, she comes to social media and says all manner of things,” he noted.
He suggested that this pattern of online reactions has played a role in her legal troubles. “That aspect of her life has played a role in her 15-year conviction and 50 years intensive sentence,” he said.
Despite the setback, Baffour expressed confidence that Agradaa is prepared to make meaningful changes. “We are confident that she is going to turn a new leaf on social media. Once that aspect of her life is corrected, she is just like any ordinary Christian,” he added.
The remarks have reignited discussions about the influence of social media behavior on public image and legal consequences.
