Afia Schwarzenegger Calls Out President Mahama: Demand for the Release of Nana Agradaa
In a bold move that has ignited conversations across social media, Afia Schwarzenegger has urged President John Mahama to intervene and release the imprisoned televangelist, Nana Agradaa, or else face serious repercussions. This call to action comes on the heels of Nana Agradaa's significant prison sentence.
Known to her followers as Evangelist Mama Pat, Nana Agradaa was sentenced to 15 years behind bars in July 2025 after being convicted of fraud and misleading advertisements. The charges stemmed from a church service in 2022, where she allegedly promised congregants that their money would double but failed to return any funds, leading to a wave of disappointment and outrage.
In a viral TikTok video, Afia Schwarzenegger didn’t hold back as she voiced her appeal to the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), which President Mahama heads. She ominously hinted that she possesses knowledge of various scandals involving prominent leaders within the NDC, adding a layer of intrigue and urgency to her call for action. If Nana Agradaa remains incarcerated, she threatened to reveal these scandals, thus putting pressure on the government.
During the live stream, Afia encouraged her followers to join the movement by flooding social media with messages advocating for Nana Agradaa’s freedom, using the hashtag ‘Free Agradaa’ as their rallying cry.
But here’s where it gets controversial...
Afia claims that not only is she worried about Nana Agradaa's fate, but she previously urged Ghanaians to send prayers and express support for the jailed preacher. On September 19, during another live session, she raised alarms about Nana Agradaa’s worsening conditions in prison, inviting all who appreciated her work to unite in prayer.
The social media community has reacted with a mix of sentiments to Afia's recent pleas for Nana Agradaa’s release. While some applaud her outspoken support, others question whether Nana Agradaa deserves sympathy, given her criminal activities.
For instance, a user named Slay Closet commented, "Who are you two to dare Mr. President?" while Millicent Dadzie remarked, "Aww, they lost one of their members, yooo; she will come soon wai."
Conversely, naysayers questioned Nana Agradaa's priority over other prisoners, with one remarking, "Is Nana Agradaa the only person in prison? Or is she more human than those in there?" Strong feelings are sure to spark further debate on this topic.
Another noteworthy aspect of this story involves the recent announcement by President Mahama regarding a raise in the daily feeding allowance for inmates, reflecting some positive change in the prison system. Reports indicated that the amount previously allocated was GH₵ 1.80, which has now increased to GH₵ 5.00 daily. Many have welcomed this news, interpreting it as a potential alleviation of Nana Agradaa’s hardships during her incarceration.
The community is buzzing with mixed reactions to Afia's emerging stance, inviting you, the reader, to join the conversation. So, what do you think? Should Nana Agradaa be freed, or does she need to serve her full sentence? Share your thoughts in the comments!
