Patricia Asiedua Asiamah, formerly a traditional priestess and now an evangelist, widely recognized as Nana Agradaa, has received a 15-year prison sentence from the Circuit Court in Accra.
This sentence is a result of her conviction for fraudulent advertising and defrauding by pretence.
Nana Agradaa was adjudged guilty of enticing victims through a televised broadcast in 2022, during which she falsely asserted that she had spiritual abilities to double money.
Her assertions caused numerous individuals to relinquish substantial amounts of money, all in anticipation of miraculous financial gains — promises that ultimately went unfulfilled.
The court’s decision represents a crucial advancement in the battle against fraudulent spiritual practices and misleading religious activities.
Before the sentencing, the court mandated a pregnancy test, adhering to judicial protocols, which confirmed that she was not pregnant — thus allowing the sentencing to proceed.
