Angel Asiamah says the embattled evangelist now goes by the name Evangelist Josephine Asiamah
Evangelist Patricia Asiamah has begun a new chapter, adopting a new identity while serving time at Nsawam Female Prison, according to Angel Asiamah.
According to her husband, Angel Asiamah, the embattled evangelist, publicly known as Patricia Asiamah or Nana Agradaa, now goes by the name Evangelist Josephine Asiamah.
Speaking to the congregation of Heaven’s Way Church during a service on November 22, 2025, he explained that the new name signals a new phase in her life.
He noted that after speaking with her, he wondered why she had chosen the name Josephine but later concluded it could be connected to the biblical Joseph, who interpreted dreams for fellow prisoners.
“My wife told me that over there in prison, her name has been changed, so the name she responds to now is Evangelist Josephine Asiamah, also known as Mama Pat. That is a new name, so it should tell you things are new in her life. Anyone who changes their name takes on a new life.
“When I came home that evening, I wondered why she would change her name to Josephine, and I remembered it could be because she is doing the works of Joseph in prison, spreading the word of God and interpreting dreams for inmates,” he said.
Angel Asiamah also addressed claims that his wife’s physical condition had deteriorated after nearly five months behind bars.
He dismissed reports about changes in her complexion, saying it was normal for her skin tone to darken under current conditions.
“Some people were claiming she had become dark. All Black people are dark, so if she looks dark, is it news? Sometimes good living can change your complexion. She lived in comfort, staying in air-conditioned rooms 24 hours a day. But she is an African and is now living in difficult conditions, so there’s nothing wrong with her looking dark,” he said.
The televangelist was convicted on fraud charges by an Accra Circuit Court on July 3, 2025. She was sentenced to fifteen years in prison with hard labour and is currently serving her term at the Nsawam Female Prison in the Eastern Region.
