Founder of the Heaven Way Champion International Ministry, Patricia Asiedu, also known as Nana Agradaa, has been granted bail in the sum of GH¢ 50,000 with three sureties by an Accra Circuit Court 9.
That followed an oral bail application by her lawyers in court today, October 17, 2022.
Presiding judge Samuel Bright Acquah granted the accused bail of ¢50, 000 with 3 sureties.
She is also to report to the prosecutor every Wednesday.
Despite the approval for bail, Nana Agradaa will still be in police custody pending similar charges against her at Circuit Court 10.
Nana Agradaa has pleaded not guilty to one count of charlatanic advertisement and six counts of defrauding by false pretence.
She has been charged with seven counts of defrauding by false pretence and charlatanic advertisements on TV and in a newspaper to lure her victims.
The self-acclaimed evangelist has been remanded in 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 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 worshipers said they were convinced to give her various sums in expectation of multiplied outcomes.
But in a series of viral videos on social media, the church members who reposed confidence in the recently converted fetish priestess said their monies had not been doubled, and Nana Agradaa was nowhere to be found.
Meanwhile, Nana Agradaa has denied allegations of defrauding some members of her church.
She said those allegations were untrue.
The self-styled pastor said she only shared the money with her church members to help boost their businesses.
