Opambour refused to comment on the matter; however, he was baffled that some serious criminal cases remained unresolved for many years, yet Agradaa has been processed for court and jailed.

He questioned why the verdict on all those popular cases, which urgently needed judgment, had not been pronounced.

"What happened to the policeman who caused the demise of his girlfriend, Maa Adwoa? Has that case been resolved?" he asked, demanding an answer, and when his junior pastor said no, he sighed.

Agradaa was jailed on July 3, 2025, for fraud and charlatanic advertisements, over a 2022 incident involving her church members.

Mama Pat organised a church service, invited the public to attend and promised to double whatever money they brought to her for them.

Unfortunately, things did not go as she told her church members, and she seized their money and dismissed the church service.

Agradaa later admitted to inviting the public to her church but explained that she promised to offer them capital to start their business.

She added that she shared the money with some congregants, but the others did not receive their share because she ran out of funds.

Additionally, she claimed some pastors and known figures who were bent on destroying her reputation were behind the public uproar over her 2022 church service.

Regardless of her explanation, she was arrested, investigated, granted bail, and later taken to court. Three years later, an Accra Circuit Court pronounced judgment on the case, issuing her a 15-year jail sentence.

The news of her sentencing has triggered mixed reactions as some have jubilated over Mama Pat's predicament, while others were broken over the news.

Rev Obambour expressed his opinions on Agradaa's prison sentence, questioning why some prominent criminal cases remain unresolved.
