She noted that her family was continuing with their fight to appeal her 15-year sentence and secure her freedom from prison. Agradaa's sister noted that her family had been apologising to various personalities who had been offended by the televangelist's actions before her imprisonment.
Agradaa's sister speaks about her prison condition Agradaa's sister dismissed claims that the Heaven Way Church founder was not in prison despite being sentenced for her crimes.
She noted that her family and her sister's husband, Angel Asiamah, regularly visited her in prison to check up on the evangelist. Agradaa's sister stated that the embattled church founder was in good health in the Nsawam Female Prison.
She also appealed to Ghanaians to continue praying for her sister to win her appeal against her sentencing.
She said:
"Anyone who says my sister (Agradaa) is not in prison does not know what they are talking about. There are laws in Ghana, and so she cannot be free. There is a reason why her face is covered whenever she appears before court."
"As we speak, my sister is in prison. My family and I visit her in prison every time. Her husband also visits her. There are videos of it on social media. You cannot film her from the prison.
"My sister is doing well. She is okay. We are begging Ghanaians to pray for her so that she wins her appeal against her 15-year sentence."
In response to claims that Agradaa's physical appearance had changed in prison, the televangelist's sister noted that she had not noticed any changes in her. She stated that even though certain changes would occur due to her incarceration, her sister's looks had not significantly changed, as speculated in the media.

Why is Agradaa in prison?
The embattled Agradaa is currently incarcerated at the Nsawam Female Prison after she was sentenced to a 15-year jail term at an Accra Circuit Court for charlatanic advertisement and defrauding by false pretences on July 3, 2025. She was accused of defrauding church attendees of varying sums of money after advertising her money-doubling abilities. The prosecution's case centred on Agradaa's activities on Today's TV and various social media platforms, where she allegedly advertised a money-doubling scheme.
The controversial figure had publicly invited members of the public to attend an all-night service at her church, promising to double their money through her purported spiritual powers.

More than 1,000 people attended the all-night service, with attendees handing over substantial sums of money to Agradaa. However, she failed to fulfil her promise of doubling the money, leaving numerous victims financially compromised.
The televangelist and her legal team appealed her 15-year sentence and appeared at the Amasaman High Court on December 4 for a hearing
In her appeal documents, Agradaa has argued that the trial process was unfair and that the evidence did not support the judge's verdict. She also argued that the 15-year jail term was excessive. However, the case has been adjourned to January 21, 2026, for a status update and the scheduling of a judgment date.
