Watch as Mahama receives rousing welcome from inmates at Nsawam prison

President John Dramani Mahama was met with loud cheers and excitement from inmates when he visited the Nsawam Medium Security Prison on Saturday April 25, 2026, to fellowship with them.

The visit, organised by the Men’s Fellowship of the Assemblies of God Church, formed part of a religious outreach aimed at engaging inmates through worship and encouragement.

Videos circulating on social media show inmates welcoming President Mahama enthusiastically as he arrived at the facility, highlighting the emotional connection between the President and the prison population.

The fellowship brought together inmates and church members in a moment of reflection, prayer and spiritual upliftment, reinforcing ongoing efforts to support rehabilitation and reintegration within Ghana’s prison system.

President Mahama’s presence was seen as a morale boost for inmates, many of whom responded with visible excitement during the interaction.

The Nsawam facility, one of the country’s largest correctional centres, has in recent years hosted several outreach programmes involving religious groups and public figures as part of broader efforts to improve inmate welfare and promote reform.

The visit underscores the role of faith-based organisations in supporting inmates, offering hope and guidance as they serve their sentences and prepare for life beyond incarceration.
