The founder and leader of the Heaven Way Champions Ministry, whose real name is Patricia Asiedua, was sentenced to 15 years in prison by an Accra Circuit Court on July 3, 2025.
She was convicted on two counts of defrauding by false pretences and one count of charlatanic advertisement in connection with a 2022 church service.
After the sentence, Nana Agradaa and her lawyers filed an appeal at the Amasaman High Court, seeking to overturn the Circuit Court decision.
Her legal team argued that the lower-court judge was biased and imposed a disproportionate sentence.
Justice Oppong-Twumasi ruled that the Circuit Court judge adjudicated the case based on Nana Agradaa’s personality and not the actual crimes she was alleged to have committed.
He accepted her appeal, reducing her sentence to one year, leading her lawyer to declare that she would be released on March 3, 2026.
As stated by her lawyer, the controversial televangelist secured her freedom on March 3, with a video showing her and her husband, Angel Asiamah, at their home.
Below is the Facebook video of Nana Agradaa at home after being released.
