After receiving a 15-year sentence with hard labour from the Accra Circuit Court on July 3, 2025, Nana Agradaa is now subject to the strict rules of the Ghana Prisons Service. Her daily life, including her movement and communication, is heavily regulated under the Prisons Service Act, requiring her participation in prison labour and limiting her privileges.
Here are 10 things Nana Agradaa cannot do while in prison:
1. Broadcast live TV programs
She cannot continue her money-doubling shows on Today-TV or Thunder TV, as inmates do not have access to broadcasting facilities.
2. Own or use a personal mobile phone
Prison rules forbid prisoners from owning or using personal mobile phones, limiting them to supervised calls through prison communication centres.
3. Receive unlimited visits
She is allowed only one monitored visit every two weeks, and any additional visits require special approval from prison authorities.
4. Send or receive unlimited mail
She can send and receive only one letter or telegram every two weeks unless given special permission for additional correspondence.
5. Access social media or the internet freely
Inmates are banned from unsupervised internet and social media use, with computer access allowed only for approved legal or educational purposes under strict supervision.
6. Make unscheduled private calls
All phone calls are made through official prison channels at scheduled times, and private calls outside these times are prohibited.
7. Host public religious gatherings or rituals
She may attend chapel services in prison but cannot organize or lead public all-night services or Sika Gari rituals.
8. Refuse compulsory prison labour
She must participate in assigned prison labour unless a medical officer grants an exemption, and refusal can lead to further penalties.
9. Manage her media businesses remotely
She cannot direct or manage Today-TV, Thunder TV, or any of her media outlets while in prison.
10. Avoid overcrowded living conditions
Nsawam Prison is heavily overcrowded, and she must endure the poor conditions, including limited food and resources.
