He made this known while reacting to the news that the Amasaman High Court in Accra had reduced the evangelist’s earlier 15-year sentence to one year. He said:
“Asiamah must be applauded for standing firmly behind his wife throughout this case. Some men would have abandoned their spouses, taking the accumulated wealth and relocating abroad, possibly to the US or elsewhere.”
“Asiamah has done impressively well. He has demonstrated unwavering loyalty to his wife, always being present in court to provide the emotional support she needed, until the court finally decided to revise its earlier sentence.”

Evangelist Mama Pat was imprisoned after she was convicted by an Accra Circuit Court on charges of defrauding by false pretence and engaging in charlatanic advertisement.
She was found guilty of promoting a 'money-doubling' scheme during a church service in 2022.

Scores of people have taken to social media to react to Amaro Shakur’s statement praising the character of Angel Asiamah, husband of Patricia Asiedua, popularly known as Agradaa. YEN.com.gh compiled a list of the comments below.
God have mercy on me commented:
"Leaders should be careful, because a time will come when the youth of this country will rise. What Agradaa did to people in this country didn't warrant a reduction of 15 years to one year. Meanwhile, there are innocent people in prison. God is watching."
Blawsparta2 noted:
"Amaro Shakur, tell the truth. This is very unfair to all Ghanaians. Reducing 15 years jail term to one year is unfair."
Opoku George said:
"This issue will send the NDC back into opposition."
Law Koby Ogyaba noted:
"As a law student, I really love this lawyer. This is not about the country being corrupt or biased; it is about how you present your matter before the court. You can commit a crime bigger than this or something bigger than this, and get less than what Agradaa got."
