Patricia Asiedu Asiamah, more commonly known as Nana Agradaa, was jailed for 15 years by an Accra Circuit Court on Thursday, July 3, 2025.
She was convicted on two counts of defrauding by false pretences and one count of charlatanic advertisement and has been incarcerated at Nsawam Prison in the Eastern Region.
Despite her controversial nature, her imprisonment has sparked public debate, with some supporters starting a campaign for her to be freed.
Some Ghanaian pastors have reportedly been recruited to join the free Agradaa cause, according to popular preacher, Isaac Owusu Bempah.

A blogger asked her to comment on the topic and she said while she is not the judge, lawyer or prosecutor, she still felt pity for her as a woman.
Grace Ashy said she cannot suggest to the courts how to handle their jobs but in her opinion, she wouldn’t mind if Nana Agradaa was given no time in jail.
“We are praying for her. I’m not the court or the judge, I’m not the prosecutor. I’m nobody. I’m not here to judge the number of years given to her, but personally even if they gave her zero years, I wouldn’t mind it,” she said.

Grace Ashy speaks on World Cup snub
Previously, YEN.com.gh reported that Grace Ashy opened up on how the Ghana Football Association (GFA) prevented her from obtaining a visa to the 2006 World Cup.
She stated during an interview with Onua TV that former President Kufuor charged the GFA to facilitate her travel to Germany for the World Cup due to her prominent role in being a cheerleader for the team and composing songs that galvanised support from Ghanaians.
However, Grace Ashy said when she went to the GFA for a letter for her visa process, they gave her a letter that told the German embassy to deny her application, something she only found out later.
