Nana Agradaa Jailed 15 Years for Money-Doubling Scam
Patricia Asiedua Asiamah, widely known as Nana Agradaa, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison by the Accra Circuit Court following her conviction on multiple counts of charlatanic advertisement and defrauding by false pretenses.
📺 The Fraudulent TV Broadcast
The former traditional priestess turned evangelist was found guilty of misleading members of the public during a televised broadcast in 2022, where she falsely claimed to possess spiritual powers capable of doubling money.
Victims testified that they handed over large sums of money with the expectation of receiving double in return—a miracle that never materialized.

⚖️ A Blow Against Spiritual Scams
The court’s verdict is being hailed as a landmark decision in Ghana’s fight against fraudulent spiritual practices, especially those exploiting faith through deceptive religious broadcasts and rituals.
🧪 Mandatory Pregnancy Test Before Sentencing
Before handing down the sentence, the court mandated a pregnancy test—a standard legal procedure under Ghanaian criminal law to ensure humane incarceration procedures for female convicts. The result confirmed she was not pregnant, clearing the way for immediate sentencing.
📢 Public Reaction and Social Media Buzz
The sentencing has sparked significant attention on social media, with many users praising the court’s decision as justice served. Social commentators and legal analysts say this ruling sends a clear message to others involved in spiritual fraud or deceptive religious schemes.
🙏 Background: From Fetish Priestess to Evangelist
Nana Agradaa previously ran the infamous “Sika Gari” ritual scheme, claiming supernatural powers before transitioning into Christian ministry. Despite her public conversion and baptism in 2021, skepticism remained over the authenticity of her transformation.
🧾 Conclusion
With her sentencing now complete, Nana Agradaa will serve her 15-year term in prison. Legal experts consider this a strong stance against religious manipulation, reminding the public that faith-based scams will no longer be tolerated under Ghanaian law.
“This is a victory for the many voiceless victims of spiritual exploitation,” one legal analyst commented.
