Speaking calmly but with visible emotion, Agradaa described the fear that gripped her on the day she was escorted to begin her sentence.
She admitted that the thought of incarceration left her shaken.
Nana Agradaa admitted fear upon being sentenced
“When I was going to prison, I was shaking in fear,” she said. “I kept telling God that I leave myself in His hands because I did not know what the prison experience would be like.”
She disclosed that receiving a 15-year sentence was a moment she struggled to process internally.
According to her, she questioned herself repeatedly and found it difficult to reconcile the punishment with her own understanding of her actions at the time.
Yet, amid the uncertainty, she said she held on to one conviction: that prayer and the Word of God could alter circumstances.
Agradaa explained that she immersed herself in scripture, drawing parallels between her situation and biblical accounts of imprisonment and restoration.
Agradaa compared her ordeal to biblical stories
She referenced Acts Chapter 12, the story of Peter’s imprisonment and subsequent release after prayers were offered on his behalf.
That passage, she noted, became a constant reminder that no situation is beyond divine intervention.
She also cited John Chapter 1 Verses 1 to 3, which speaks about the Word being present in the beginning and being central to creation.
Reflecting on that scripture, she said she believed that if God used His word to create the world, then relying on that same word could influence her own outcome.
Throughout the video, she mentioned other biblical figures, including Jonah, whom she described as punished and later corrected, and King Nebuchadnezzar, whose authority was taken and later restored.
She also referred to the prophet Ezekiel while continuing to quote various passages that, in her view, shaped her mental and spiritual resilience.
Her remarks suggest that prison became, for her, a period of deep introspection and spiritual recalibration rather than despair.
