Agradaa's Husband Angel Asiamah Speaks on His Next Move After Wife's 15-Year Jail Sentence

• Agradaa's husband, Angel Asiamah, has pledged support for his embattled wife after her 15-year jail sentence
• In an interview, Asiamah indicated that he would hold the fort and manage Agradaa's church until she returned
• Some social media users have claimed that he looked too happy for someone who was in such a situation

Angel Kwame Asiamah, the husband of Heaven Way Champion International Church founder Patricia Asiedua Asiamah, has spoken after his wife was jailed.

Speaking after the court proceedings ended, Asiamah said that he would be backing his wife to the end as he pledged his unfaltering support for her.

Agradaa sentenced to 15 years in prison

The Circuit Court in Accra, on Thursday, July 3, 2025, sentenced Agradaa, a former traditional priestess turned evangelist, to 15 years with hard labour after finding her guilty of defrauding multiple victims through charlatanic advertisements.

She had been accused of falsely claiming to possess spiritual powers capable of doubling money, leading several individuals to hand over large sums of money in the hope of receiving miraculous financial returns that were never delivered.

Is Agradaa's husband worried about jail term?

Reacting to the sentence handed to his wife, Asiamah described it as harsh, suggesting that his wife was only being persecuted as others in the Bible had suffered.

"I don't agree with those who say she deserves it. It is very very harsh. Everybody is saying Agradaa, so they are using something to tag her, which is not true... Just like Jesus Christ, they tagged him with so many things."

In the interview with GHOne TV's Serwaa Amihere, Agradaa's husband declared that even if his wife were to spend 15 years in jail, he would still be there for her.

He explained that Agradaa was still a 'woman of God' and he was still a pastor who will take over their church.

"I will be going to visit her every time. I'll frequent there with the children if she spends the next 15 years in jail. For the church, I will take over. My wife is the overseer, and I am the associate pastor. If she is not available, I will do the work."

Why was Nana Agradaa put before court?

Nana Agradaa was arrested on October 9, 2022, in connection with an alleged money-doubling scam at her church.

The police moved to arrest her after a video of some congregation members complaining of being defrauded went viral.

Charged with charlatanic advertisement and six counts of defrauding by false pretences, she pleaded not guilty and was granted bail.

Subsequently, she was charged with similar offences before the Circuit Court 4 and Circuit Court 10, where she has been attending hearings since October 2023.

The controversial televangelist was accused of advertising a money-doubling scam on Today's TV and some social media platforms.

The accused allegedly invited the public to attend an all-night service at her church so they could have their money doubled.

The facts as presented to the court indicated that over 1000 people who attended the all-night service handed over huge sums of money to Agradaa, but she failed to double the money as promised.
