Famed Media General journalist Roland Walker has stoked controversy in the wake of his comment regarding the jail sentence handed to Evangelist Mama Pat, aka Nana Agradaa, the founder and leader of the Heaven Way Champion International Church.

This comes after he took to X on July 3, 2025, after news went viral that the outspoken evangelist had been jailed for 15 years.

Roland Walker, who took a sympathetic approach to the unfortunate turn of events, appealed to President John Mahama to intervene in the matter.

In the post, he appealed to John Mahama to grant Nana Agradaa a Presidential pardon.

Agradaa's feud with Empress Gifty

The 15-year jail sentence handed to Agradaa comes amid her feud with Ghanaian gospel musician Empress Gifty.

The self-styled evangelist engaged in an online spat with the "Watch Me" hitmaker after Hopeson Adorye launched an attack on the televangelist on live television.

Empress Gifty decided to sue Agradaa for defamation after the latter made a series of derogatory remarks about the musician.

Empress Gifty is demanding GH¢ 20 million in compensation from Agradaa, who is now languishing in prison.

"Pres JDM, we dey beg, pardon Agradaa give we," he posted.

@madison_ben5 said:

"This is what you all do in Ghana ooooo. So there should be no justice in this country? We make a mockery of ourselves and the country. Sympathy over rule of law and justice. This is why politicians steal with both hands and legs."

"You're too old to be posting things like this. Be serious and act your age, bra.... Families are suffering because of her."

@ievans007 stated:

"Masa, masa, you guys are the reason why we don’t see any better sanity in our social space. The court has proven that she has committed a crime and has punished her accordingly. You’re here pleading for pardon. Pardon for what?"
