Embattled evangelist, publicly known as Patricia Asiamah or Nana Agradaa, now goes by the name Evangelist Josephine Asiamah.

This was revealed by her husband, her husband, Angel Asiamah while speaking to  the congregation of Heaven’s Way Church during a service on November 22, 2025.

“My wife told me that over there in prison, her name has been changed, so the name she responds to now is Evangelist Josephine Asiamah, also known as Mama Pat. That is a new name, so it should tell you things are new in her life. Anyone who changes their name takes on a new life."

“When I came home that evening, I wondered why she would change her name to Josephine, and I remembered it could be because she is doing the works of Joseph in prison, spreading the word of God and interpreting dreams for inmates,” he said.

Angel Asiamah had earlier on shared an update of his wife's state in prison.

Nana Agradaa is spending 15 years in prison which commenced in July for charlatanic advertisement and defrauding by false pretence.

According Angel Asiamah, he visited his wife over the week and he can confidently say she is doing perfectly well.

“I went to see my wife, Mrs Asiamah. This week I went to her and she gave me a bible quote. Based on our chat and how she looked, things are going very well. Do you understand? When I say things are going well, I know what I am saying.”

He added, “When something is yours, it looks more beautiful to you than everyone else. So as Agradaa is my wife, if I say she’s doing well and living well, then that’s exactly how she is.” he told members of the Heaven Way Champions International Ministry on September 28, 2025.

Agradaa was officially transferred to the Nsawam Female Prison on Saturday, 5 July, just two days after she was sentenced by Judge Evelyn E. Asamoah at the Accra Circuit Court ‘10’ on Thursday, 3 July 2025.

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

Meanwhile, Ghanaian gospel musician Gifty Oppong Adorye, known in showbiz as Empress Gifty, 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.

Meanwhile, Angel Asiamah, husband of the embattled founder of Heaven Way Christian International Ministry, Patricia Asiedua Asiamah, has pleaded with Ghanaians to forgive his wife, who is currently serving a 15-year jail term.

While addressing the church on Sunday, July 13, 2025, Angel Asiamah knelt before the congregation in a heartfelt plea, declaring,

“I plead with you all, God has forgiven her of all sins. Please forgive her, too. I have knelt here before God. I believe wherever she is, the Spirit of God has spoken with her. I plead with all she has offended to forgive her, we appeal to John Dramani Mahama, the First Lady, and the Vice President to forgive her," he said.
