“My wifey is now a powerful drummer in prison. She’s doing very well by God’s grace,” Angel Asiamah shared joyfully on social media, accompanied by photos of her performing energetically while surrounded by cheering inmates.
The images have since gone viral, capturing the hearts of many Ghanaians who praised her resilience and faith. Many social media users described her transformation as a testament to how God can use difficult situations to birth talent, strength, and ministry.
Observers say her story is a reminder that even behind bars, one’s gift and calling can still shine. Her lively drumming sessions reportedly bring unity and encouragement among the women, turning the prison yard into a place of hope and worship.
Veteran Ghanaian actor and TV presenter, Akwasi Boadi, widely known as Akrobeto, has responded to the conviction of former fetish priestess turned evangelist, Patricia Asiedua, popularly called Nana Agradaa.
Speaking in an interview with GhanaWeekend, Akrobeto said Agradaa’s 15-year sentence for fraud and money-doubling scams is beyond his influence. “Whatever I say will not change the situation. If she is released, fine; if not, she is not the first to be jailed. It is normal,” he noted.

Addressing long-standing rumours of a romantic connection, the celebrated actor clarified that his alleged marriage to Agradaa was only a publicity stunt for a movie. “I never had anything to do with Agradaa; she has never been my wife,” he stressed.
Agradaa, once notorious for her shrine before converting to Christianity, was convicted in 2025 for defrauding individuals with false money-doubling promises. Her sentencing has stirred national debate—while some hail it as justice, others argue her repentance should have mitigated the judgment.
All is not lost for controversial evangelist and former fetish priestess, Patricia Asiedua, popularly known as Nana Agradaa. Public pressure is beginning to mount on President John Dramani Mahama to intervene in her legal troubles and possibly grant her some form of pardon.

The latest to add his voice is respected broadcast journalist Roland Walker of TV3, who made a passionate appeal in a social media post. Walker urged the President to consider Agradaa’s case and show mercy by granting her clemency. According to him, despite her controversial past and ongoing criticisms, Agradaa has followers who believe in her transformation and still look up to her for spiritual guidance.
“Nana Agradaa may have erred, but mercy triumphs over judgment. I humbly beg President Mahama to consider granting her a pardon,” Walker’s post partly read.
His appeal has since sparked debate among Ghanaians, with some supporting the call on humanitarian grounds, while others insist the law must take its full course to serve as a deterrent.
Nana Agradaa, who once operated as a fetish priestess before converting to Christianity, has been one of Ghana’s most polarizing figures. Her sentencing came after multiple fraud-related charges, which attracted both public criticism and sympathy.
With Roland Walker’s intervention making waves, it remains to be seen whether the growing pressure will compel President Mahama to act or whether Agradaa will be left to serve her sentence in full.
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.
