“You sleep at 5:30PM half-naked” – Agradaa reveals harsh prison reality
Evangelist Patricia Asiedua, popularly known as Nana Agradaa, has opened up about her time in prison, sharing some of the strict routines and restrictions inmates faced during her stay.
Speaking during a TikTok Live session, the former spiritualist-turned-evangelist said life behind bars exposed her to a completely different reality, including rigid sleeping schedules and constant security checks.
According to Nana Agradaa, inmates were expected to retire to bed as early as 5:30 p.m., a routine she described as difficult to adjust to considering her previous lifestyle. She also explained that prison officers carried out thorough checks before inmates entered their cells to ensure no prohibited items were taken inside.
“You’re made to go to bed at 5:30 p.m. Imagine someone like me, considering the life I’ve lived, being told to sleep at 5:30 p.m. The officers stand in front of the cells, and when you get there, they make you unwrap your cloth until you’re left wearing only a tiny pair of panties without a bra. They inspect you thoroughly to ensure you’re not hiding any illegal items. The officers are looking directly at your private parts,” she said.
Sharing lessons from her experience, Nana Agradaa urged people to avoid actions that could land them in trouble, saying anyone who understands prison life would be more careful about responding to conflicts.
Nana Agradaa spent about eight months in custody after she was sentenced to 15 years in prison in July 2025 for defrauding by false pretence and charlatanic advertisement. Her lawyers later appealed the decision, leading the Amasaman High Court to reduce the sentence to 12 months after describing the initial punishment as excessive.
She was eventually released from the Nsawam Prison on March 3, 2026, after serving part of her revised sentence. Her latest comments have sparked conversations about prison conditions and the impact of incarceration on individuals.
