Agradaa recounts how she used charcoal to deceive clients

Fetish priestess-turned-evangelist and leader of Heaven Way Champions Church, Patricia Asiamah, popularly known as Nana Agradaa, has recounted how she used to deceive people who visited her shrine seeking charms and black magic, popularly known as juju, to harm others. Speaking during a social media interaction, she questioned whether she could be considered a thief for taking money from people who approached her to help them kill others, knowing that the items she gave them would not work. According to Agradaa, some people visited her shrine with requests to use “juju” to kill their enemies. However, instead of giving them anything harmful, she would grind charcoal and present it to them as a charm that would cause the death of their intended victims. She explained that she did this because she did not want anyone to lose their life, adding that she believes God knows she was saving lives through her actions. ‘Prison made me well educated’ – Agradaa boasts of improved literacy “People came to me asking for black magic, juju, to kill someone. I would grind charcoal for them, take their money and tell them the person would die, but the person would not die. Does that make me a thief? Even God knows I have saved a soul,” she said. Agradaa further recalled an incident in which some people approached her because they were unhappy that a colleague who had recently joined their workplace had been promoted and rewarded. She said the individuals wanted a charm that would paralyse the colleague if they placed it on the person's chair and the colleague sat on it. She explained that she would ask such clients to buy certain items, charging them between GH¢3,000 and GH¢5,000, which they willingly paid. Agradaa criticised their willingness to spend thousands of cedis on “juju” to harm others while being reluctant to give even GH¢200 as an offering when they go to church. Agradaa explained that she would give the clients instructions on how to use the ‘grinded charcoal’ in disguise as “juju” to harm their enemies, making them believe it would kill their intended victims, even though she knew it had no such power. “Some people even came to me complaining that a colleague who had recently joined their workplace had been promoted and rewarded. They wanted a charm to place on the person's chair so that they would become paralysed when they sat on it. “I would tell them to buy certain items, which would cost them between GH¢3,000 and GH¢5,000, and they would willingly pay. Yet, when they go to church, they are unwilling to give even GH¢200 as an offering. “So, if you come to me and I grind charcoal for you, claiming it will kill someone, I have lied to you. It is just charcoal and cannot harm the person,” she recalled. Nana Agradaa announced her conversion from a traditional fetish priestess to a Christian evangelist in April 2021. She was officially ordained into ministry in August of the same year. Watch Parliament’s proceedings on the 2027 Budget presentation on Thursday, November 12, 2026 AK/AMSource: www.ghanaweb.com
