Evangelist Patricia Asiedua Asiamah, also known as Nana Agradaa, has stated that she will return the money she received from the Ghana Gold Board’s Acting CEO, Sammy Gyamfi, following public criticism and growing calls for his suspension.
In a widely distributed video, Gyamfi is shown delivering the notorious evangelist what appear to be US dollars—footage that has provoked outrage, particularly among members of Parliament’s Minority.
They have deemed the gesture unacceptable and are pushing for his immediate suspension.
Nana Agradaa responded to the uproar with a live video on Instagram, saying she intends to return the money—and even quadruple it.
“I will return the $800, even doubling it. I’ll do my best to find his office and go there with my camera to show Ghanaians that I’ve repaid the money,” she said.
The former fetish priestess, now an evangelist, voiced anxiety that her involvement might jeopardise Gyamfi’s career, stating her conscience would not allow it.
“This is my mantle, Bible, and anointing oil as a mighty lady of God, and I promise to set my church on fire if I am the reason Sammy loses his job. The Bible says we should do good to everyone, and it did not discriminate. So, if Sammy Gyamfi gives me money, he deserves to do so,” she said.
Meanwhile, on May 12, 2025, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Minister of Government Communications, accused the New Patriotic Party (NPP) of participating in opportunistic politics by demanding for Gyamfi’s suspension.
Mr. Kwakye Ofosu, speaking on Eyewitness News with Umaru Sanda Amadu, characterised the NPP’s reply as politically driven, calling into doubt their trustworthiness on issues of public accountability.
“The instant the NPP gets involved, you know they’re just dabbling in opportunistic politics. They do not believe in any of the concepts they promote. “If you look at their conduct and behaviour in government, this is not a party that values modesty or even decency in public office,” he stated.
