Founder of Heaven Way Champion Ministries, and formerly a fetish priestess, Patricia Asiedua Asiamah, aka Agradaa (aka Evangelist Mama Pat) have been slapped with a 15-years jail sentence linked to her defrauding of church members.

Following her sentence, many wondered whether her church would still run or be shutdown after it's leaders jail sentence.

In response to this, her husband who also doubles as a fellow pastor of the church, has revealed that, the church would continue "as he remains a pastor and Rev. Mama Pat also remains a pastor as well, the work of God would still go on".

He said that the verdict is "no new news because many whpo worked for God, many who have taken leadership positions at a point in history suffered imprisonment".

He continued by drawing comparisons with biblical characters such as Paul and Silas who were imprisoned for doing the work of God and were imprisoned.

He said "it's normal,considering how things work in the spiritual realm. However quite disturbing as it ought to be in the physical realm.

He claims that "God has ways of honouring his servants hence this might only be the beginning of something good" he said.

Meanwhile, Nana Agradaa, is going to spend 15 years in prison for charlatanic advertisement and defrauding by false pretence.

The Circuit Court in Accra delivered its sentence after it confirmed that she is not pregnant.

In 2022, she was accused of luring her victims through claims that she possessed spiritual powers to double their money.

Initially admitting guilt to charges including fraudulent advertising and obtaining money under false pretenses, she spent two weeks in remand before being granted bail of GH₵150,000 with three sureties, one requiring justification.

She tricked members of the Godsway International Heaven Church into handing over their cash during a night vigil service at her church in Weija, Accra.

However, in a statement made after the verdict, Pastor Asiamah claimed that the sentencing was rooted in complaints from church members following an all-night service held three years ago.

According to him, the allegations of fraud stemmed from the offertory collected during that service.

Nana Agradaa’s legal team has already described her sentence as “excessive,” noting that the amount in question was only GH¢540.

They have vowed to file an appeal on Monday, claiming the punishment is more about who Agradaa is than what she is alleged to have done.
