The founder of the Heaven Way church, Patricia Asiedua aka ‘Nana Agradaa’, is expected to reappear in court today, October 17.
She has been charged with seven counts of defrauding by false pretense and charlatanic advertisements on TV and in a newspaper to lure her victims.
The self-acclaimed evangelist has already been remanded into police custody twice since her arrest.
‘Nana Agradaa’ was arrested on Sunday, October 9, following allegations of scam, among others, levelled against her by some members of her church and the public.
The Police in a statement said, “Anyone who is a victim of the alleged money doubling scam should report to the Accra Regional Police Command for further action and to assist in the investigation.”
Accusations
Some members of the Heaven Way Church in Weija accused their leader of cleverly deceiving them and running away with their monies.
According to the aggrieved congregants, Nana Agradaa promised to double their monies through her special spiritual endowments.
Based on this assurance, the affected worshippers said they were convinced to give her various sums, in expectation of multiplied outcomes.
But in a series of viral videos on social media on Saturday, the church members who reposed confidence in the recently converted fetish priestess said their monies have not been doubled, but ‘Nana Agradaa’ was nowhere to be found.
Meanwhile, ‘Nana Agradaa’ has denied allegations of defrauding some members of her church.
She said those allegations are untrue.
The self-styled pastor said she only shared money with her church members to help boost their businesses.
According to her, on the night [Saturday, October 8] that she shared the money, others gave offerings, as is done in all churches in the country.
She explained that allowing them (church members) to give an offering in church does not amount to defrauding them.
