Evangelist Patricia Asiedua (Nana Agradaa)'s counsel, Lawyer Richard Asare Baffour has dismissed claims that her client's imprisonment will hinder her work as a preacher.

According to him, prison, as a correctional institution, exists for everyone, and anyone who fails to order their steps properly could also find themselves there.

In an interview with Channel One TV on February 5, 2026, following the reduction of Agradaa's jail term from 15 years to 12 months, Lawyer Asare Baffour referred to the bible recalling some individuals who were also imprisoned while doing the Lord's work.

“There are many examples of people in the Bible who went to jail, yet it did not change their calling. So she is not the first person to be imprisoned. There are also many prominent figures in Ghana and beyond who have been jailed at some point in their lives."

"Prison is for all of us. The lessons we draw from it are what matter most. Today it is Mama Pat; tomorrow it could be you. If you don’t order your steps well, you may also end up there,” he said.

The lawyer further added, “The prison gate is not closed; it is there for all of us. It is the lessons learned from the experience that are the most important.”

Nana Agradaa was jailed after she was convicted by an Accra Circuit Court on charges of defrauding by false pretence and engaging in charlatanic advertisement in July 2025.
