The founder of the Heaven Way Church, Evangelist Patricia Asiedua, popularly known as Nana Agradaa, has been remanded into lawful custody for the next three days.
The former fetish priestess was arrested on Sunday (9 October 2022) over accusations of running a money-doubling scam which were levelled against her by members of the public.
She pleaded not guilty as she made her first court appearance on Monday on charges of fraudulent advertisement and six counts of defrauding by false pretence.
The circuit court judge hearing the case, Samuel Bright Acquah, refused her bail plea and remanded her until her next court appearance on 13 October 2022.
What we know so far
The police opened investigations into the alleged money-doubling scam targeting the fetish priestess-turned-preacher on Saturday.
Some members of the Heaven Way Church in Accra are accusing their leader of duping them after she advertised on her regular TV programme that she would be doubling money during Friday’s all-night service.
“The investigation was initiated following reports that have come to the attention of the police on the matter,” the Ghana Police Service announced earlier.
“While investigation continues, we urge everyone, especially those who might have been affected, to remain calm and not take the law into their own hands.”
