In the aftermath of controversial televangelist Nana Agradaa 15-year sentence, actress and socialite Efia Odo has taken to social media to express her reaction.
The Accra Circuit Court on Thursday, July 3, 2025 charged Agradaa for charlatanic advertisement and defrauding by false pretence.
This led Efia Odo to social media to express her devastation over the development.
"Oh mama pat ," she wrote on her X account after learning about Agradaa's sentence.
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 pretenses, she spent two weeks in remand before being granted bail of GHS150,000 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.
Meanwhile, Ghanaian gospel musician Gifty Oppong Adorye, known in showbiz as Empress Gifty, has dragged Evangelist Mama Pat, popularly known as Agradaa, to court for defaming her.
In a video targeting Empress Gifty's husband, Hopeson Adorye, Agradaa extended her attacks to the singer, accusing her of engaging in bestiality and unfaithful activities.
According to Gifty, other bloggers have leveraged Agradaa's statement to spread false narratives about her.
This has affected the "Watch Me" singer and her family, as their children are being ridiculed by friends in school.
In addition to the negative impact of Agradaa's conduct, lawyers of Empress Gifty say her trip abroad slated for August has been jeopardized.
The words used by Agradaa are interpreted to mean the following:
a) The plaintiff is promiscuous and a prostitute.
b) The plaintiff is a zoophile who flirts with dogs to earn her money to cater for her husband.
c) The plaintiff is an adulterous or an unchaste wife who has extramarital affairs with other men, and most of her paramours are pastors.
d) Pastors who invite the Plaintiff to their programs have sexual intercourse with her in their offices before the Plaintiff mounts the pulpit to sing.
e) The plaintiff is an imbecile.
Consequently, Empress Gifty is claiming the sum of twenty million Ghana Cedis for damages for slander.
She is also seeking a perpetual injunction to prevent the defendant, along with associates, agents, and anyone acting on her behalf, from making further publications of the same or similar defamatory statements.
