In an interview with media personality Nana Romeo on Okay FM on Monday, July 14, 2025, Oppong said he met and spoke to Agradaa after she arrived at the prison on Saturday, July 5, two days after her sentencing on July 3.
He also spoke about the mental health checks carried out on the preacher before she was integrated into the prison population.
Controversial Ghanaian preacher, Evangelist Patricia Asiedu, popularly known as Nana Agradaa, was jailed for 15 years with hard labour by an Accra Circuit Court after being convicted of defrauding by false pretences and charlatanic advertisement.
She was accused of swindling money from her congregation with promises of doubling the amount presented to her, only to keep the money.
Following her incarceration, Oppong made headlines by claiming that Nana Agradaa was not yet at the Nsawam prison.
His comments sparked alarm from Ghanaians over whether Agradaa had truly been jailed for her crimes.
Nana Agradaa finally booked into Nsawam Prison
Speaking to Nana Romeo, the Crime Check Foundation boss said he felt compelled to clarify Agradaa’s location because media personality Mona Gucci claimed that the evangelist had been sent to Nsawam on July 3 after she was sentenced and had been assaulted by an inmate she allegedly defrauded.
"When I spoke, there was a video circulating on social media that she was at the Nsawam Prison on Thursday and that she met someone she had scammed, who allegedly assaulted her. I found that unfortunate because when that claim was made, she was still in police custody.” Ibrahim Oppong clarified.
He called on the media to do better and only report facts and not sensationalised claims to garner attention.
Oppong confirmed that Nana Agradaa had now been brought to Nsawam Prison.
“We stand by our reporting that she wasn't there (on Thursday). She was brought later on, on Saturday evening. Finally, she's there; they've brought her. I spoke to her and can confirm categorically that she is in prison custody,” he continued.

He said authorities carried out mental health checks on her to make sure she was fully aware of what lay before her for the next 15 years.
“When you first arrive, you're not immediately thrust into the main yard. The Prison service has psychologists who would take you through what you can expect. As a form of therapy, they would engage you. When you have a steep sentence like Agradaa, they would study you and determine your mental state before deciding where to incarcerate you in the prison,” he said.
