“I told my husband that: 'if you want me to come out of prison, you have to go to Opambour, the nation’s prophet. If you don't want me to come out, then you can be there and whatever you are doing.' Because the Spirit of the angels of God had told me that we should go to that man. Since without his prayers and his favour, I can never come out."

Agradaa released from prison

On July 3, 2025, Agradaa was jailed for 15 years by an Accra Circuit Court, after being convicted of fraud and charlatanic advertisements.

The prosecution stemmed from a 2022 church service during which she allegedly advertised her money-doubling activities, convincing many Ghanaians to bring her varying sums to be doubled. She allegedly took the money and neither doubled nor returned the capital.

After serving six months at the Nsawam Female Prison, Nana Agradaa’s sentence was cut from 15 years to one year by the Amasaman High Court on appeal. This new ruling got her out of prison on March 3, 2026.

Since Agradaa was released, she has not spoken publicly, even though she shares scripture and videos on social media. Even during her thanksgiving service, Agradaa did not say anything.

It was her husband, Asiamah and her mother who expressed their gratitude to God on her behalf.
