Celebrated Ghanaian filmmaker Leila Djansi has waded into the ongoing conversation about the 15-year jail sentence handed to controversial evangelist Nana Agradaa, calling for other so-called miracle pastors to be jailed as well.
Nana Agradaa, known in private life as Patricia Asiedua, was sentenced by an Accra Circuit Court to 15 years behind bars after being found guilty on two counts of defrauding by false pretence and one count of charlatanic advertisement.

The popular self-styled ‘woman of God’ was accused of luring her church members with fake promises.
Reacting to the news on her official Facebook page as seen by zionfelix.net, Leila Djansi did not hold back her thoughts about the broader problem of spiritual fraud in Ghana. In her post, the award-winning filmmaker wrote:
“Ahhhh my mama will cry! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 My Ghana family, my mama will cry! This woman makes my mom laugh! She’s always wondering how she has church members. ‘vangelist’.
But seriously, reading the story on Ameyaw Debrah page, if she is jailed, a whole bunch of miracle peddling pastors who demand seed for miracles should also go to prison. Start from your top pastors. Lemme call my mama.
Even the ridiculous TV stations in Ghana who give these charlatans airtime should also be jailed.”
Leila’s comment has sparked fresh debate online, with many agreeing that Nana Agradaa is only one of many so-called “men and women of God” who prey on the faith and desperation of innocent followers for financial gain.
Some Ghanaians have also echoed her sentiments, calling for stricter regulations on how TV stations and media houses grant airtime to self-proclaimed miracle workers and spiritualists.
