Nana Agradaa shows gratitude to Grace Methodist Church following donation to Nsawam Female Prisons

Former traditional priestess turned evangelist, Patricia Asiedua Asiamah, popularly known as Nana Agradaa, recently participated in a worship service at Nsawam Female Prisons, where she is serving a 15-year sentence.

The service, organized by the Grace Methodist Church, saw Nana Agradaa actively praising God while serving as the base drummer, leading fellow inmates in uplifting songs of worship.

At the conclusion of the service, a prison officer invited her to deliver a vote of thanks. Nana Agradaa expressed heartfelt gratitude to the Methodist Church Ghana and the Grace Society for remembering the inmates and demonstrating acts of kindness. She cited Matthew 25:35-36, reminding attendees of the biblical call to care for those in need:

“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.”

Nana Agradaa’s participation highlights the enduring impact of faith-driven acts of service and the potential for redemption, demonstrating that acts of kindness and spiritual care can bring light and inspiration to even the most difficult environments.

Background

Patricia Asiedua Asiamah, popularly known as Nana Agradaa, was formerly a traditional priestess before becoming an evangelist. She founded the Heaven Way Champion International Ministry in Weija, Accra, and gained public attention for claiming spiritual powers, including the ability to “double money” for followers who made financial offerings.

Her activities, widely broadcast on Today-TV and social media, led to her arrest and prosecution. On July 3, 2025, an Accra Circuit Court sentenced her to 15 years imprisonment with hard labour after finding her guilty of one count of charlatanic advertisement and five counts of defrauding by false pretence.

She was convicted for defrauding numerous attendees during a televised all-night service by promising monetary returns that were never fulfilled.

Despite her legal conviction, Nana Agradaa has remained engaged in spiritual activities while in custody.
