Ghanaian Evangelist Agradaa’s 15-Year Jail Sentence ‘Not News’ Says Husband Pastor Eric Asiamah

Pastor Eric Asiamah, husband of evangelist Patricia Asiedua Asiamah, popularly known as Nana Agradaa, has described his wife’s 15-year prison sentence for deceptive advertisement and defrauding by false pretence as “not news.” In an interview on Thursday, July 3, after her sentencing, Pastor Asiamah expressed his unwavering support for his wife, framing her conviction as part of a broader spiritual journey.

A Familiar Narrative

According to Pastor Asiamah, the allegations against Agradaa stem from a church service three years ago, where some attendees claimed she took their money to multiply it. However, he insisted that this practice, rooted in offertory, is common across churches and does not constitute wrongdoing. “Every church takes offertory, and this should tell you that such things happen in the work of God,” he said.

Drawing Parallels with Biblical Figures

Pastor Asiamah drew parallels with biblical figures, citing the examples of Paul and Silas, who were arrested because of their work for God, and Jesus, who was crucified. He suggested that Agradaa’s imprisonment might be part of God’s greater plan, potentially preceding a significant blessing. “Maybe after this, a big blessing is coming,” he said.

Church Activities Continue

Despite the legal outcome, Pastor Asiamah made it clear that both he and his wife retain their pastoral roles, and the church’s activities will continue. “Church activities will go on. I am still a pastor, and she is still a pastor too,” he emphasized.

Unwavering Support

Pastor Asiamah’s unwavering support for his wife has sparked reactions among Ghanaians, with some expressing sympathy for the couple and others questioning the church’s practices. As Agradaa begins her 15-year prison sentence, her husband remains committed to their pastoral work and the church community.

A Test of Faith

The conviction has put the couple’s faith to the test, but Pastor Asiamah’s statements suggest that they are resolute in their beliefs. The case has raised questions about the intersection of faith and law, highlighting the complexities of navigating spiritual and legal responsibilities.

Conclusion

Agradaa’s 15-year jail sentence has sparked a mix of reactions, with her husband standing firm in his support. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how the church community and the public will respond to the conviction and its implications.
