CSP Abdul Latif of the Ghana Prisons Service has officially debunked claims circulating on social media that Evangelist Patricia Asiedu—widely known as Nana Agradaa or Evangelist Tupac—was among the 998 inmates recently granted presidential amnesty by former President John Dramani Mahama.
Speaking in an interview monitored by GhPage, CSP Latif firmly stated that Nana Agradaa was not included in the list of pardoned prisoners. He clarified that the amnesty list was compiled and submitted prior to her sentencing and, as such, her name could not have been considered.
“First of all, we did not forget Nana Agradaa,” he stated. “She is not part of the prisoners granted amnesty. By the time she was sentenced and arrived in prison, the list had already been finalized and forwarded.”
CSP Latif further explained that even if Nana Agradaa had been incarcerated during the compilation of the list, she would not have qualified based on the established eligibility criteria.
“Secondly, if you check the criteria set for eligibility, you would realize that even if Nana Agradaa had been in prison at the time, she still wouldn’t have qualified for the amnesty,” he added.
Nana Agradaa is currently serving a 15-year prison sentence, a case that has drawn public interest due to her controversial transition from a self-proclaimed fetish priestess to a Christian evangelist.
