BREAKING: Court Reduces Agradaa’s 15-Year Sentence to One Year

Leave a comment

A Ghanaian court has reduced the original 15-year prison sentence handed to controversial evangelist and former traditional priestess Agradaa, now known as Evangelist Patricia Asiedua, to just one year, marking a significant legal development that has sparked widespread public reaction. According to court proceedings, the reduction followed a successful appeal that considered mitigating factors presented by Agradaa’s legal team. More updates are available on GhanaMedia.net.


Agradaa appears in court following a ruling that reduced her prison sentence.

Background to Agradaa’s Conviction

Agradaa was previously sentenced to 15 years in prison after being found guilty on multiple counts related to fraudulent spiritual practices, a case that drew national attention and reignited conversations about religious exploitation and accountability in Ghana. Legal analysts speaking to outlets such as BBC News and Reuters have described the case as one of the most high-profile prosecutions involving faith-based fraud in recent years.

Court Ruling and Sentence Reduction

The appellate court ruled that while the conviction itself remains valid, the initial sentence was excessive under the circumstances, leading to a substantial reduction to a one-year custodial term. The decision has generated mixed reactions across social media, with some welcoming the ruling as fair and others questioning its implications for justice and deterrence.

Public Reaction and Wider Implications

The revised sentence has once again placed the spotlight on Ghana’s judicial system and the regulation of religious activities, with civil society groups calling for stronger public education and enforcement to prevent similar cases in the future. Observers say the ruling will likely influence how future cases involving spiritual fraud are prosecuted and sentenced.

Nana Yeboah Questions Agradaa’s Imprisonment, Raises Doubts Over Court Appearances

Leave a comment

Kumawood actor and outspoken commentator Nana Yeboah has openly questioned claims that controversial evangelist Agradaa is currently serving a prison sentence, citing what he describes as “very strange” developments surrounding her court appearances.

According to Nana Yeboah, every time Agradaa is reportedly brought before the court for hearings, her face is completely covered with a veil, making it impossible for the public to clearly identify her. He argues that this practice is unusual and inconsistent with how other high-profile figures have been treated by the justice system.

He further raised concerns about the manner in which female police officers tightly surround her whenever she appears in public, suggesting that the heavy shielding seems designed to prevent onlookers from getting a clear view of her face.

“It’s very weird,” Nana Yeboah stated. “They cover her face fully and move her quickly as if they don’t want the crowd to notice something.”

The actor compared Agradaa’s situation to that of other politically exposed or controversial figures such as Abronye DC and Bernard Antwi Boasiako (Wuntumi), both of whom faced legal processes publicly without having their faces hidden.

“People like Abronye and Wuntumi faced the law openly. Their faces were never concealed. So why is Agradaa different?” he questioned.

Nana Yeboah went on to suggest two possibilities: either Agradaa is not actually in prison, as authorities claim, or she may have been secretly flown out of the country under undisclosed circumstances.

While he admitted he has no official proof, Nana Yeboah emphasized that the inconsistencies surrounding Agradaa’s public appearances raise legitimate questions that deserve clarification.

His comments have since sparked intense debate on social media, with some agreeing that the secrecy fuels suspicion, while others argue that security or legal reasons could explain the measures taken.

As of now, no official response has been issued by the Ghana Police Service or judicial authorities addressing Nana Yeboah’s claims.

The situation continues to attract public attention, adding another layer of controversy to Agradaa’s already high-profile legal troubles.

Prophet Daniel Jeddman Draws Criticism After Commenting on Agradaa’s Daughter’s TikTok Singing Video

Leave a comment

Ghanaian‑German gospel minister and pastor, Daniel Jeddman has found himself at the center of controversy after leaving a comment on a TikTok video posted by Nana Agradaa’s daughter. In the clip, the child sings while dressed in church attire—an image that many interpreted as the next generation of spiritual influence. Jeddman’s comment, intended to sympathize with Ghanaians by urging mercy on Agradaa, triggered backlash. Critics accused him of taking sides in a highly publicized feud involving defamation and legal battles.

Agradaa, also known as Evangelist Mama Pat, has been embroiled in a prolonged conflict with gospel artist Empress Gifty, who filed a GH₵20 million defamation suit against her for allegedly making false claims about her personal life and her late mother Agnes Aba Annan (“Agaga”)  . The conflict escalated after Agradaa drew in Empress Gifty’s deceased mother by asserting that calling on “Agaga” calls her own spirit.

In this highly charged context, Jeddman’s mild encouragement to “have mercy” on Agradaa sparked criticism from Ghanaians who feel he underestimated the gravity of her alleged defamation and legal issues. Many on social media questioned why an outside gospel minister would comment on such a polarizing local dispute—especially one involving accusations of slander, court orders, and a public ultimatum from Empress Gifty’s legal team.

Supporters of Jeddman argue that his comment was not an endorsement, but a call for compassion. Detractors see it as misplaced interference that downplays the hurt felt by those defamed. Observers note the sensitivities around children becoming symbols in adult controversies; Agradaa’s daughter’s TikTok has now been politicized in the online war.

As the legal battle continues—with courts already dismissing parts of Agradaa’s defense and ordering costs in favor of Empress Gifty  —Jeddman’s involvement highlights the risks public figures face when engaging in volatile online debates. The broader conversation underscores the need for discretion when interweaving spiritual commentary with personal reputational disputes.

Agradaa Remains Defiant as EOCO Shuts Down Church Amid Allegations of Fraud and Financial Misconduct

1 Comment

Nana Agradaa—born Patricia Oduro Koranteng—and best known as a former fetish priestess turned evangelist, continues to express defiance in the wake of grim accusations and the recent closure of her Heaven Way Church by Ghana’s Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).

EOCO executed a raid and sealed Agradaa’s premises, citing concerns that the church allegedly acted as a front for illicit, money-doubling activities. Inspired by her past as a promoter of the controversial “Sika Gari” ritual—where adherents believed their contributions would be miraculously multiplied—authorities now argue that her operations may have violated anti-fraud regulations.

Despite firm governmental measures, Agradaa has taken to public platforms, vehemently denying any wrongdoing. She insists her church is legitimate and effectively serving its congregation. She attributes the actions against her to her high-profile influence and controversial stance, claiming persecution rather than prosecution.

Matters intensified when attention shifted to her ex-husband—widely referred to as her “baby daddy”—who is alleged to have stolen approximately GH₵14 million from the estate of the late John Kumah. Kumah, a prominent businessman and husband to Apostle Lilian Kumah, passed away, reportedly leaving unresolved financial dealings. The ex-husband stands accused of exploiting his closeness to Agradaa to divert funds belonging to the Kumah estate.

A social media update from Yencom Ghana highlighted that Kumah’s widow has officially dragged Agradaa’s ex-partner into court over the missing monies, alleging deceit and misappropriation.

While EOCO zeroes in on Agradaa’s church, questions linger over her ex-husband’s legal fate. Accusations suggest he conspired to appropriate funds meant for Kumah’s estate, purportedly through Agradaa’s network of church associates.

Adding to Agradaa’s legal troubles, she is no stranger to controversy. Her past “Sika Gari” scheme and unlicensed TV stations—Thunder TV and Ice1 TV—were raided in 2021, resulting in convictions for fraudulent advertising and broadcasting offenses. She was fined GH₵46,000.

Critics argue that the current scrutiny is a consequence of her history of exploiting spiritual authority for profit. Supporters, however, view her as a vocal figure who simply refuses silence. Regardless of perspective, the EOCO’s closure of Heaven Way Church marks a dramatic escalation.

As investigations unfold, Ghana’s public awaits clarity. Legal experts emphasize that the rule of law must prevail, regardless of a person’s influence. Agradaa’s firm rejection of the accusations—calling them politically and socially motivated—sets the stage for a contentious legal battle with implications reaching far beyond her congregation.

Diana Asamoah Pledges Support to Angel Asiamah in Running Agradaa’s Church During Her 15-Year Imprisonment

Leave a comment

Gospel singer Diana Asamoah steps in with compassion and leadership, promising to guide Angel Asiamah in sustaining Agradaa’s church as the founder begins her 15-year sentence at Nsawam Prison.

In a heartfelt show of solidarity and spiritual responsibility, renowned Ghanaian gospel musician and evangelist, Diana Asamoah, has publicly promised to assist Angel Asiamah in managing Evangelist Patricia Oduro Koranteng’s (popularly known as Nana Agradaa) church during her incarceration.

Agradaa, a controversial figure turned self-proclaimed woman of God, was recently sentenced to 15 years in Nsawam Prison. Her absence leaves a significant leadership vacuum at her church, which has amassed a sizable following over the years. In a touching video that has since gone viral, Diana Asamoah is seen comforting Angel Asiamah — a close associate and loyal follower of Agradaa — while assuring her of unwavering support during this difficult period.

The video captures a deeply emotional moment between the two women, with Diana encouraging Angel to remain strong and faithful. She emphasized the importance of continuity in the ministry despite the founder’s imprisonment. “The church of God must not collapse because of this. We will stand together and continue the work,” Diana said, affirming her readiness to mentor and guide Angel Asiamah in spiritual leadership and operations.

The gesture has been widely applauded by many in the Christian community who see Diana Asamoah’s involvement as a sign of maturity, unity, and true Christian brotherhood. Others see it as an opportunity for spiritual cleansing and revival in the church, following the controversies that have surrounded Agradaa’s transition from a traditional priestess to a Christian evangelist.

With Agradaa now serving time, the future of her ministry rests in the hands of those she trusted — and with Diana Asamoah stepping in, many believe the church could be steered toward a more transparent and spiritually sound direction.

The video was shared across social platforms, with credit to @originalagradaa on TikTok and @dianaasamoah_official on Instagram. The scene has stirred emotion, sparked conversations, and highlighted the power of Christian compassion and leadership during turbulent times.

Joyful moment at Ghana’s female prison goes viral as inmates mark birthday following Agradaa’s popular presence.

A heartwarming moment at Nsawam Female Prison has gone viral on social media after a young lady was seen joyfully celebrating her birthday in the facility, shortly after the recent incarceration of evangelist Patricia Asiedua, popularly known as Nana Agradaa.

In a video circulating online, the woman, dressed in white, is seen surrounded by other inmates, clapping and singing with joy. The celebration appears to have taken place in a modest prison yard, but the enthusiasm and emotion displayed by the inmates told a much deeper story.

The scene, surprisingly cheerful, follows a period of public attention drawn toward the prison after Agradaa’s sentencing. Her presence in the facility seems to have brought an unusual amount of public and media focus to the female wing of the Nsawam Prison.

Observers speculate that the attention surrounding Agradaa may have made prison authorities more lenient toward organized group activities, though officials have yet to comment on the celebration.

Reactions on social media have been mixed. While many praised the human spirit of the inmates and found the video inspiring, others questioned the appropriateness of recording such footage inside a high-security facility.

Regardless, the birthday video has resonated with Ghanaians online, serving as a reminder of joy and community—even behind bars. Some users even commented that “Agradaa’s presence may have changed the entire vibe of the place.”

As the video continues to make rounds, many are calling for reforms that allow for more humane treatment and social engagement in prisons, especially for women and first-time offenders.

The birthday girl, whose identity remains unknown, has unintentionally become a symbol of hope and resilience. Her story may be short, but the impact is already lasting.

Evangelist to Remain in Custody as Legal Team Continues Appeal Against 15-Year Sentence

The High Court in Amasaman has rejected a bail application filed on behalf of Patricia Asiedua Asiamah, widely known as Nana Agradaa, while her appeal against a 15-year prison sentence is underway.

Dr. Bernard Kofi Asamoah, a member of Agradaa’s legal team, confirmed the court’s decision in an interview with Citi News on Tuesday, July 15. According to him, the request for bail pending the appeal was turned down, with the court instructing the Circuit Court to submit all relevant documents concerning the case to facilitate the ongoing appeal process.

“We wanted bail pending appeal, and the court did not grant it. The court has given an order that the Circuit Court furnish it with all the processes needed for the appeal. We will continue the appeal process,” Dr. Asamoah stated.

This development follows the July 3 sentencing of Nana Agradaa by the Circuit Court, presided over by Justice Evelyn Asamoah. The former traditional priestess turned evangelist was found guilty of defrauding by false pretence and engaging in charlatanic advertisement, receiving a 15-year custodial sentence.

Her legal team has challenged the conviction, citing alleged unfair trial procedures and what they describe as an unjust ruling. On July 7, her lead counsel Richard Asare Baffour confirmed that a formal petition had been filed at the High Court to overturn both the conviction and sentence.

Despite the recent setback in their bail request, Agradaa’s lawyers say they remain fully committed to navigating the legal process and seeking justice through the appellate court system.
