Agradaa shared her message through her TV station's official Facebook page after Wontumi was sentenced to two years in prison on July 20, 2026.
Writing with evident emotion, the Ghanaian preacher described Wontumi as her "big brother" and pledged to keep him in her prayers.
"Oh GOD 😭 I will remember you in prayers oh my big brother let us all be very careful because the law is the law ✍️," the post read.
The message carries particular weight given Agradaa's own legal history.
She was initially sentenced to 15 years in prison, a term that was later reduced to one year following a successful appeal.
She was released in early 2026, and since her ordeal, she has adopted the title "Prison Preacher" as a reflection of the spiritual journey she undertook while incarcerated.
