Angel Asiamah, the husband of Evangelist Patricia Aseidua, commonly known as Nana Agradaa, has stated that the Godsway International Heaven Church will still go on.
Agradaa was sentenced by Her Honour Evelyn Asamoah of Circuit Court, 10 to 15 years in prison.
She was sentenced for two counts of defrauding by false pretences. Agradaa was also fined GH¢300 for one count of charlatanic advertisement, with a 30-day custodial sentence in default of payment.
Reports suggest the charges stem from a televised advertisement she aired in 2022.
In the ad, Agradaa claimed she possessed the power to double the money for her congregants at the Godsway International Heaven Church, misleading them into surrendering their money during an all-night church service at her Weija-based ministry in Accra.
Nana Agradaa was earlier taken to the hospital for a pregnancy test before the Judge sentences her.
She has since been sentenced to jail for 15 years with hard labour.
The Judge, Evelyn Asamoah, stated that Agradaa skilfully executed the offences and did not show remorse.
Speaking to the media, Angel Asiamah stated, “They came to the all-night service hoping that she would double their money for them, which does not make sense because we go to church; we give offertory. So how can you expect double of it that night?
“But I’m not surprised; this is one of the tribulations that servants of God face. So many servants of God in the Bible have been through trials. Even our great leaders have been through one tribulation or another. After this, her blessings will be bigger”, he said.
“The church will still go on. I’m a pastor; there are other pastors in the church. But all this is not a problem; 15 years in prison is not any news”, he boldly added.
