In a significant legal decision that has captured the attention of many in Ghana, Evangelist Patricia Asiedua, widely known as Nana Agradaa, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison with hard labour.
This ruling was delivered by the Accra Circuit Court, presided over by Justice Evelyn Amoah, following her conviction on charges of charlatanic advertisement and defrauding individuals through false pretences.

The charges stemmed from an incident back in 2022, where a viral video surfaced showing Agradaa at an all-night church service in Weija.
In this service, Nana Agradaa made bold claims, promising attendees that their financial contributions would be doubled.
The promise, unfortunately, led to numerous congregants falling victim to her scheme, convinced by her persuasive rhetoric and authority as a preacher.

Court jails Nana Agradaa for 15 years
On July 3, 2025, GHOne TV reported on the outcome of the trial, detailing how the prosecution's case illustrated a pattern of deceit whereby Agradaa, despite her claims of being a woman of God, exploited the trust of her followers.
During the sentencing, Justice Amoah emphasised the calculated nature of Nana Agradaa’s actions, indicating that she executed her fraudulent activities with a skilful manipulation that showed a lack of remorse for her victims.
Before the sentencing, Agradaa had been ordered to undergo a pregnancy test by Justice Amoah, a move that sparked discussions among social commentators regarding the implications of her circumstances in light of her legal woes.

Background to Nana Agradaa's legal case
Nana Agradaa's legal troubles began on October 9, 2022, when she was arrested following a series of complaints from the public.
The Ghana Police Service issued a statement confirming her arrest in connection with allegations of a money-doubling scam that spanned several months.
Many victims, drawn in by promises of quick wealth, alleged that they were coerced into giving significant sums of money with the assurance that they would see returns, only to leave empty-handed.
The scandal escalated after an all-night service held on October 7, 2022, during which Agradaa explicitly solicited money under the guise of spiritual empowerment.
