Nana Agradaa changes her name in prison
Angel Asiamah, the husband of the popular Ghanaian preacher, disclosed that his wife, formerly known as Nana Agradaa or Patricia Asiamah, now identifies as Evangelist Josephine Asiamah.
He shared the update during an anointing service held on November 22, 2025, at Heaven’s Way Church.
Angel explained that the name change symbolises a transformation in her life and spiritual mission. Reflecting on his visit to Nsawam Female Prison, he said he was initially curious about the choice of name but later linked it to the biblical figure Joseph, known for interpreting dreams in prison.
"My wife informed me that her name was changed while she was incarcerated, so she now goes by Evangelist Josephine Asiamah, also known as Mama Pat. Since that is a new name, it should indicate that she is going through a new phase of life. A new life is assumed by anyone who changes their name."
"I wondered why she would change her name to Josephine when I got home that evening, and I remembered it could be because she is doing the works of Joseph in prison, spreading the word of God and interpreting dreams for inmates, he added."

On July 3, 2025, an Accra Circuit Court found the televangelist guilty of fraud. She is currently incarcerated at Nsawam Female Prison in the Eastern Region, where she is serving a 15-year sentence with hard labour.
"She had turned dark, according to some. Is it noteworthy that she appears darker since all Black people are dark? Living well might occasionally alter your skin tone. Living in air-conditioned rooms around the clock, she led a comfortable life. However, there is nothing wrong with her seeming dark because she is African and currently lives in challenging circumstances," he said.
