Efya reacts to Agradaa’s return to church after prison release: ‘She’s fitting to do it again’

Patricia Asiedua Asiamah, widely known as Nana Agradaa, has once again become a major talking point on social media following her release from prison on 3 March 2026.

The controversial preacher completed a one-year custodial sentence after successfully appealing the 15-year term initially imposed on her. Her return to church activities has since generated mixed reactions online, with several public figures weighing in, including award-winning singer Efya.

Efya reacted to a circulating video purportedly showing a member of Agradaa’s congregation appearing overwhelmed during a church service and rolling on the floor, reportedly under what was described as an anointing. The singer expressed scepticism about the developments and questioned whether the televangelist had genuinely changed.

On 5 February 2026, Nana Agradaa appeared before the Amasaman High Court for judgment in her appeal. After several hours of legal arguments, the court reduced her original 15-year sentence to 12 months’ imprisonment on counts two and three.

In addition, she was fined 200 penalty units (GH¢2,400) and ordered to refund GH¢1,000 to two complainants, alongside fines previously imposed under count one.

The court reportedly described the initial 15-year sentence with hard labour as harsh and excessive. Although the conviction itself was upheld, the presiding judge exercised discretion to vary the punishment.

Because the revised sentence was backdated to 3 July 2025, the date of her conviction, the ruling meant that the founder of Heaven Way Champion International Ministry was required to serve a total of one year in prison before regaining her freedom.

The renewed public debate reflects the lingering controversy surrounding the preacher, as critics and supporters continue to scrutinise her post-release activities.
