Nana Agradaa, a fetish priest turned evangelist, has condemned those criticising Sammy Gyamfi, the Acting Managing Director of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), for gifting her some money over the weekend.
Agradaa, after a video of her chasing Mr. Gyamfi for money after an encounter at a funeral, was handed some amount which she says was US$800.00, has said she can’t wrap her head around why some Ghanaians are making a fuss over Sammy Gyamfi’s benevolence towards her.
According to her, those saying the money belongs to the state are defying the biblical requirement of being happy for the fortunes of others.
She says the amount she took at the encounter which has since gone viral on social media is nothing for Ghanaians to rant over.
In a video shared on X by a user called DePrince, Agradaa, during a Sunday service at her church on May 11, 2025, condemned critics of the act, asking followers of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) –Sammy Gyamfi’s political party –not to worry over the gesture.
Agradaa’s reaction follow the backlash that has met the gesture since its emergence on social media, making many question the source of the funds.
“[If Sammy Gyamfi] gifts me US$800.00, you’re saying it belongs to Ghana. How much is 800 dollars? Don’t be doing this. If you’re an NDC, don’t be worried over this. The Bible says you should always be happy for one another’s gains. Always tap into somebody’s blessings,” Agradaa stated in her video.

The development has sparked public outrage, especially after President Mahama had launched a Code of Conduct for Public Officials a few days earlier, detailing how public officials should conduct themselves to avoid creating public disaffection.
Critics have pointed to the video as potentially undermining the Code of Conduct for Public Officials, which emphasizes integrity, accountability, and transparency in public service.
In the said video making rounds on social media, Agradaa had taken a photograph with Sammy Gyamfi beside his car, after which she followed him to the passenger seat at the front to collect the money.
Many party faithful have been outraged after the incident, not over the gesture per se, but the person involved, who is a controversial religious figure claiming to be an evangelist after being previously arrested for defrauding many as a fetish priestess.
Meanwhile, OnuaOnline’s sources at the Jubilee House have confirmed that the Chief of Staff has asked the GoldBod Acting MD to come and explain the circumstances surrounding the controversial gift that has sparked criticism and raised concerns over the conduct of public officials.
