Ghana Prisons Service Denies Rumors as Agradaa’s Fraud Conviction Confirmed
The Ghana Prisons Service has formally dispelled circulating reports suggesting that Nana Agradaa—real name Patricia Asiedu Oduro Koranteng—is experiencing health issues or receiving special treatment behind bars, reaffirming that she remains in custody as sentenced.
In a public statement, the Service labeled the viral social media content—depicting Agradaa receiving multiple medical visits or displaying emotional distress—as baseless misinformation designed to mislead the public. This statement came amid heightened attention to her case and online chatter about her well-being.

A court ruling earlier this year sentenced Agradaa to 15 years in prison with hard labour, following her conviction on two principal charges:
-
Charlatanic advertisement
-
Defrauding by false pretense
The guilty verdict was handed down by an Accra Circuit Court, presided over by Justice Evelyn Amoah, based on her orchestrating a deceptive “money-doubling” scheme—popularly referred to as “Sika Gari”—during televised church services. Many victims were lured into handing over sums of money with promises of miraculous returns.
