Angel Asiamah, the husband of controversial evangelist and former traditional priestess Nana Agradaa, has expressed immense joy and relief following the Amasaman High Court’s decision to reduce his wife’s prison sentence from 15 years to 12 calendar months.
The court ruled that while Nana Agradaa’s conviction was lawful, the original sentence imposed was harsh and excessive. As a result, the custodial term was revised to one year, effective from the date of her conviction on July 3, 2025. The ruling has sparked widespread public discussion, given the high-profile nature of the case and Agradaa’s prominence in religious and media circles.
Speaking after the judgment, an emotional Angel Asiamah did not hide his excitement, describing the ruling as a moment of answered prayers and renewed hope.
“I am the happiest person in the world!” he exclaimed, expressing gratitude for what he described as divine intervention during a difficult chapter in their lives.
Asiamah’s reaction drew further attention when he revealed an undershirt emblazoned with the words “Pray Everyday.” According to him, the message symbolised the faith and persistence that sustained him throughout the legal ordeal.
He explained that despite months of uncertainty and emotional strain, he remained steadfast in prayer, believing that justice tempered with mercy would ultimately prevail.
“This has strengthened my belief that prayer works,” Asiamah said, noting that the reduced sentence reaffirmed his confidence in spiritual resilience and hope even in moments of despair.
Nana Agradaa, born Patricia Asiedua, was convicted on charges of charlatanic advertisement and defrauding by false pretence. The case originated from a televised broadcast in 2022, during which she claimed to possess spiritual powers capable of doubling money for members of the public.
Several individuals reportedly handed over large sums of money, expecting miraculous financial returns that never materialised. The prosecution argued that her actions were deliberately misleading and designed to exploit vulnerable individuals, leading to her conviction.
While the court upheld the conviction, it ruled upon review that the initial 15-year sentence exceeded what was reasonably necessary to achieve justice. The judge emphasised that sentencing should not only punish wrongdoing but must also remain fair, proportionate, and consistent with established legal principles.
The revised sentence has generated mixed reactions across social media, with some members of the public welcoming the court’s decision as balanced and humane, while others continue to debate the appropriateness of leniency in cases involving alleged financial exploitation.
For Angel Asiamah, however, the ruling represents emotional relief rather than legal technicality. He acknowledged the toll the case has taken on their family, describing the months following Agradaa’s sentencing as deeply challenging.
As Nana Agradaa continues to serve her revised sentence, her husband’s public response has added a human dimension to a case that has dominated headlines. It highlights not only the legal implications of high-profile convictions but also the emotional weight borne by families caught in the crosscurrents of public scrutiny and judicial processes.
