In an interview with Nana Ama McBrown on Onua Showtime, Mama Pat listed all the jobs she was forced to undergo during her days in prison.
According to the founder and leader of Heaven Way Champion International Ministry, she stayed jailed for eight months, and in that period, she claimed she ate a meal she described as ‘Zoyoli’.
Nana Agradaa claimed she scrubbed the washrooms and available gutters as well as carried blocks
“I stayed in prison for eight months. I was given ‘Zoyoli’ to eat. I was made to sleep at 5:30 pm. I scrubbed the gutters and the washroom. I carried blocks,” she said.
She took the opposite to advise observers to be safe and stay away from illegal activities that might lead them to prison.
“Prison is real, and whatever you are doing that you know might end up in jail, turn away from it. Do not let anyone lie to you. When you get into an issue with someone, and he/she summons you before the court, kneel and apologise because if you feel pompous that you have a clean case and you end up in jail, it will be God to intervene. Whatever you are doing that is illegal, stop it because prison is a very difficult place to be.”

Nana Agradaa released from prison
On March 3, 2026, Nana Agradaa was released from prison after her 15-year jail term was reduced to 12 months.
She had her freedom after her legal team sent an appeal to the court, arguing 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.
Speaking about how she secured her early release, the preacher said that after finding out that she had been jailed for 15 years, she refused to believe that she would spend that long in prison.
She said she placed her hope in the Lord, who saved multiple people in the Bible from trials and tribulations, and placed herself in the same situation.
Nana Agradaa detailed how she called on the Lord to save her as he did for so many others in the Bible, and her unwavering faith led to her prayers coming true.
