Ghanaian televangelist Patricia Asiedua Asiamah, popularly known as Nana Agradaa, was sentenced to 15 years in prison by an Accra Circuit Court on July 3, 2025.
She was accused of defrauding attendees at her church by advertising her supposed money-doubling powers on radio and television in 2022.
During the advertised church service, she received several sums of money from her church members and refused to return the funds.
She was convicted on two counts of defrauding by false pretences and one count of charlatanic advertisement and incarcerated at the Nsawam Female Prison in the Eastern Region of Ghana.
Nana Agradaa’s sentence reduced on appeal
After she was jailed, Nana Agradaa immediately launched an appeal at the Amasaman High Court against the Circuit Court decision.
In her appeal, her lawyers argued that the original sentence was too harsh, accusing the Circuit Court judge of being biased and not following the law in handing down a 15-year sentence.
On Thursday, February 5, 2026, the Amasaman High Court agreed with her lawyer’s arguments and reduced the controversial preacher’s sentence from 15 years to 12 months, including time served.
Having spent more than six months in jail already, her fans immediately started jubilating in anticipation of her impending release.
