A high-profile spiritual leader has been handed a decade-and-a-half prison sentence for running an elaborate financial scam disguised as divine intervention. The controversial faith healer, known to followers as Nana Agradaa, faced justice after numerous worshippers came forward with tales of financial ruin.
The charismatic preacher had built a loyal following through her television appearances and lively church services, where she promised believers their cash offerings would multiply through sacred rituals. Court documents reveal how desperate congregants handed over life savings ranging from modest sums to substantial amounts, all chasing the dream of supernatural wealth multiplication.
During the explosive trial, prosecutors presented damning evidence including broadcast recordings where the accused explicitly guaranteed financial returns through spiritual means. The judge condemned these practices as predatory, noting how the scheme specifically targeted vulnerable individuals seeking financial breakthroughs.
This isn’t the spiritual leader’s first brush with the law. Previous legal troubles include operating unauthorized television channels and promoting other questionable financial schemes. The latest conviction stems from a fresh wave of complaints dating back to 2022 promotional campaigns that left many devotees financially devastated.
As part of sentencing formalities, the court ordered standard medical checks before confirming the lengthy prison term with mandatory physical labor. The ruling sends a strong message about the consequences of exploiting religious faith for financial gain in the West African nation.
