Agradaa was imprisoned for 15 years on July 3, 2025, for fraud and false advertising. However, the sentence was reduced to one year after an appeal, hence her release on March 3, 2026.

According to Agradaa, many people claim she hasn't changed despite her ordeal. Responding to such critics, Agradaa said that there is a difference between change and repentance.

She indicated that she had repented but not changed, since several people in Ghana were still the same. Agradaa said that she had repented and become an instrument of use for God.

"If someone says I haven't changed, I first ask if that person has changed. I don't even understand Ghanaians. Jesus said there is no righteous person on earth except Him. Some people are sinning and haven't changed, yet they talk about me. If you say I haven't repented, then I will understand. I can't live a fake life. I speak with zeal and charisma. The only thing I won't do is fight in public."
"God has selected and purified me. He will use me to his glory. So, now I no longer talk about people but rather about God," she added.
