Popular Ghanaian televangelist, Nana Agradaa, was jailed for 15 years on July 3, 2025, after an Accra High Court convicted her on charges of fraud and charlatanic advertisement.
She was accused of defrauding multiple members of her church after advertising her ability to double money.
The Ghana Police arrested her in 2022 after a viral video emerged online after the service showing many alleged victims weeping about losing huge sums of money.
A three-year trial ensued, which ended with her incarceration at the Nsawam Prison in the Eastern Region of Ghana.
Nana Agradaa reaches Empress Gifty settlement
Before she was jailed, the televangelist was engaged in a heated feud with popular gospel singer, Empress Gifty, and her husband, Hopeson Adorye.
The heated beef began after the gospel singer's husband admonished the embattled televangelist and made threats against her over the dollar gift controversy involving the acting GoldBod CEO, Sammy Gyamfi.
In response, the Heaven Way church founder slammed Hopeson and dragged his wife into their feud by disparaging her and making several allegations about their marriage and lifestyle.
In response, Empress Gifty launched a GH₵20 million defamation lawsuit against the preacher.
On January 20, 2025, reports emerged that the Tema High Court had ordered Nana Agradaa to pay the gospel singer GH₵100,000 as part of a settlement.
Below is a Twitter post with the supposed High Court ruling.

The lawyer said both parties reached an agreement in court, which was for the preacher to cover the gospel singer’s legal fees.
Nana Agradaa’s lawyer advised the media to be circumspect in reporting court proceedings and refrain from misleading the public.
