Osofo Gyemeso broke down, buried his face in his attire and wept bitterly during a TikTok Live session on July 3, 2025, hours after Agradaa was whisked into a vehicle and taken to prison.

He could not speak as he was engulfed in grief and remained inconsolable despite efforts by his TikTok followers to ease his pain.

Agradaa jailed for 15 years over fraud

Evangelist Patricia Asiamah, the founder of Heaven Way Champion Church, was sentenced on July 3, 2025, to 15 years in jail with hard labour.

Agradaa was convicted after being found guilty of charlatanic advertisement and defrauding by false pretences.

This is after Agradaa, a former traditional priestess turned evangelist, was found guilty of defrauding multiple victims through a 2022 televised broadcast in which she falsely claimed to possess spiritual powers capable of doubling money.

Her fraudulent promises led several individuals to surrender large sums of money in hopes of miraculous financial returns that were never delivered. She was whisked away in a police car after her trial on July 3.

Agradaa's husband looks sober after her sentencing

Agradaa's supportive husband, Angel Asiamah, who was with her during the court proceedings, did not look like his usual self.

He transformed from his typically cheerful demeanour to a more sober expression, garnering reactions on social media.

The latest to express pain over Mama Pat's predicament is Osofo Gyemeso, who wept in a now-viral TikTok video.
