In an interview with the woman, she sympathised with Agradaa in the latter's battle, which has landed her in prison to begin a 15-year jail term.
Agradaa, aka Evangelist Mama Pat, arrived at the Amasaman High Court in a police vehicle with heavily guarded security officers.
Her appearance in court was part of proceedings by her legal team to seek bail pending an appeal against her 15-year sentence.
The judge denied the request. The video as Agradaa was being guarded out of the court back to the Nsawam prison by a dozen security officers has been widely distributed on social media as Ghanaians weigh in on her legal troubles.
According to Agradaa's sympathiser, she was hopeful that the embattled founder of the Heaven Way, convicted of defrauding by false pretences and charlatanic advertisement, would beat her case and return home.
"Mama will be free. It's all part of God's work. Paul and Silas were also jailed, all because of God's work; therefore, Mama Pat will not remain in prison," the woman who had crutches under her arm spoke with tears in her eyes.
"Mama is like Joseph. She'll never remain in prison. I believe that God will release her," she added.
Agradaa has been accused of swindling money from her congregation with promises of doubling the amount presented to her, only to keep the money.
