Nana Agradaa Jailed 15 Years for Fraud and Charlatanic Practices
Evangelist Patricia Asiedua Sentenced After Court Finds Her Guilty of Deceiving the Public Through False Promises
The Accra Circuit Court has sentenced self-styled evangelist Patricia Asiedua, popularly known as Nana Agradaa, to 15 years imprisonment for charlatanic advertisement and defrauding by false pretence.
The conviction was handed down by Her Honour Evelyn Asamoah, who ruled that Nana Agradaa knowingly and deliberately misled the public, exploiting their trust for personal gain.
The judge condemned Agradaa’s actions as premeditated and calculated, noting that she showed no signs of remorse throughout the trial.
“She skillfully executed the offences and failed to demonstrate any regret,” Judge Asamoah remarked during the sentencing.
Nana Agradaa, a controversial figure known for blending traditional spiritual practices with evangelical preaching, was convicted after multiple victims came forward accusing her of luring them with false claims of doubling money.
The case, which gripped national attention, serves as a major step in Ghana’s fight against fraudulent religious practices and spiritual scams.
Legal analysts say the ruling sends a strong message that charlatanism and spiritual deceit will not be tolerated under the law.
The sentencing has sparked widespread reactions on social media, with many hailing it as a landmark decision in protecting the public from spiritual fraudsters.
