Eric Oduro Asiamah Rejects Public Criticism, Says Wife’s Incarceration Is a Test of Faith Comparable to Biblical Persecution.
In the wake of the high-profile conviction of self-styled evangelist Patricia Asiedua, popularly known as Nana Agradaa, her husband, Eric Oduro Asiamah, has publicly declared his unwavering loyalty and outlined his personal mission for the next 15 years — the duration of her prison sentence.
Speaking to the media, Mr. Asiamah dismissed rumors that he might distance himself from his wife following her sentencing, instead reaffirming his commitment to both her personal welfare and the continuation of her religious ministry.
“In the next 15 years that she will be in jail, I will be visiting her regularly and continuing from where she left off,” Mr. Asiamah stated.
Taking the Mantle: Husband Steps Into Church Leadership
Mr. Asiamah revealed that he will assume full responsibility for the operations of their church, which Agradaa founded and led as a spiritual figure.
Emphasizing his credentials as a personal and associate pastor, he noted that their ministry was always a joint effort, with him playing both spiritual and administrative roles.
“The church will continue. I am a personal pastor.
My wife was the supervisor, and I oversee her. So, I’m also the father of the church and will keep leading it,” he explained.
This move appears to be aimed at maintaining the loyalty of their congregation and safeguarding the legacy Agradaa built before her legal troubles escalated.
“She’s Being Persecuted Like Christ” — Asiamah Challenges Public Opinion
Reacting to public criticism and sentiments suggesting Agradaa’s 15-year jail term was long overdue, Mr. Asiamah offered a defiant counter-narrative.
He likened his wife’s imprisonment to the biblical persecution of Jesus Christ, portraying her as a misunderstood spiritual leader facing unjust condemnation.
“People are saying she deserves the sentence. But if they did that to Christ, why won’t they do it to someone else?” he asked rhetorically.
His comments appear to frame Agradaa’s legal battle in spiritual and moral terms, seeking to rally sympathy among their followers and the broader religious community.
A Test of Faith and Family Resilience
Mr. Asiamah described this moment as a trial of both personal conviction and marital endurance, stating that the family would weather the storm together and emerge stronger.
He expressed hope that, ultimately, the experience will lead to positive outcomes — both spiritually and relationally.
“It’s a test. But I know something good will come out of this. I’m hopeful for the future, and I look forward to reuniting with my wife,” he added.
Background: Agradaa’s Controversial Rise and Fall
Nana Agradaa, a former traditional priestess turned evangelist, was sentenced to 15 years in prison after being found guilty of defrauding multiple victims under the guise of spiritual assistance and “money doubling” schemes.
Her transition from shrine priestess to self-declared prophetess has long stirred public controversy, attracting both devoted followers and fierce critics.
