The Ghana Prisons Service has officially addressed the release of evangelist Patricia Asiedua, popularly known as Agradaa, from the Nsawam Female Prison on Tuesday, March 3, 2026.
In a video published on the Service’s official YouTube channel, the Public Relations Officer and Chief Superintendent of Prisons, Abdul Adamu Latif, provided details about the procedures undertaken before Agradaa’s release.
According to CSP Abdul Adamu Latif, Agradaa underwent a structured pre-release programme known as the “discharge process.”
“Before you leave the prison, we take you through some training known as the discharge process. Mentally, among other things, everything must be in order before you are allowed to reunite with your family. Our sister Agradaa also underwent this training in her case,” he explained.
He noted that the process is designed to assess inmates’ mental preparedness and overall readiness to reintegrate into society after serving their custodial sentences.
CSP Abdul Adamu Latif further revealed that he had a personal conversation with the televangelist before her release, describing the interaction as meaningful.
While he did not disclose details of their discussion, he suggested that there are important lessons Ghanaians can draw from Agradaa’s experience.
Agradaa’s release has generated significant public attention following the reduction of her original sentence by the Amasaman High Court.
Her return to society has sparked widespread discussion, both in the media and on social platforms.
The Ghana Prisons Service reiterated its commitment to rehabilitation and reintegration, emphasising that all inmates undergo established procedures before being discharged.
The development continues to attract national interest as conversations around accountability, rehabilitation and second chances intensify.
