The Ghana Prisons Service has broken its silence on swirling rumors about the health of jailed televangelist Patricia Asiedua, widely known as Agradaa — and they’re not mincing words.
In a strongly worded statement, the Service dismissed claims that Agradaa is suffering from swollen legs, crying frequently, and receiving private medical care multiple times a week. Officials say the reports are entirely false and were deliberately fabricated by individuals chasing attention on social media.
Signed by Deputy Director of Prisons Janet Asabea, the release emphasized that no inmate — including Agradaa — receives preferential treatment. The Service described the rumors as calculated attempts to stir public anxiety and urged Ghanaians to rely only on official communications.
Agradaa, founder of Heaven Way International Church, is currently serving a 15-day jail sentence. According to prison authorities, she has not experienced any major health complications and continues to serve her time without incident.
As misinformation spreads faster than facts, the Prisons Service is calling for calm — and reminding the public that sensational headlines don’t always reflect reality.
