Patricia Asiedua Asiamah, the controversial former fetish priestess-turned-evangelist popularly known as Nana Agradaa, has broken her silence over the viral video showing her receiving a cash gift from the Acting CEO of the Ghana Gold Board, Sammy Gyamfi.
In a fiery live session on Instagram, Agradaa responded to the mounting public criticism and political pressure sparked by the footage, which showed Gyamfi handing her what appeared to be U.S. dollars during a public event.
In an effort to de-escalate the situation, she pledged to return the money—and even double the amount.
However, Agradaa insists she does not want to be the reason f
“I won’t let this destroy the young man’s career,” she said during the live video. “I will give back the money, and I’ll double it to show that I never asked for it in the first place.”
Her remarks come amid growing debate over the boundaries of political propriety, charity, and public accountability.
“I will return the $800 and even double it. I will do my best to find his office, and I will go there with my camera and show it to Ghanaians that I have returned the money,” she stated.
The self-styled evangelist expressed concern that the gesture, though perhaps well-meaning, may be misinterpreted to Gyamfi’s detriment, and made it clear that her conscience wouldn’t allow her to be the reason he loses his job.
“This is my mantle, my Bible, and my anointing oil, as a great woman of God, and I say that I will set my church on fire if I am the reason Sammy will lose his job.
Because the Bible said we should do good to everybody, the Bible did not discriminate when it said that. So, if Sammy Gyamfi gives me money, he deserves to do that,” she emphasized.
