Source-derived summary

Patricia Asiedu Oduro Koranteng, also known as Nana Agradaa or Mama Pat, is a Ghanaian former traditional priestess who later became a Christian evangelist. She gained public attention for her involvement in a ritual called "Sika Gari", which she claimed could multiply money. The practice and her associated television broadcasts have been subjects of controversy, leading to legal proceedings, including arrests and convictions.

Early life and career

Nana Agradaa, began her public life as a traditional priestess. She became widely known for promoting rituals that claimed to multiply money, which she advertised on television and at her shrine in Sowutuom, Accra

Conversion and Evangelism

In April 2021, she announced her conversion to Christianity, stating that she had abandoned her traditional religious practices and destroyed the items associated with her "Sika Gari" rituals. She adopted the title Evangelist Patricia Oduro Koranteng and established the Heaven Way Church.

Media operations and legal issues

She owned Thunder TV and Ice1 TV, which were raided by authorities in April 2021 and subsequently shut down for operating without the required broadcast licenses. In October 2022, she was arrested and remanded on allegations of running a money‑doubling scam, luring congregants to pay sums in hopes of getting them multiplied, in violation of Ghanaian law. She was subjected to court proceedings, during which bail was denied on several occasions. In 2021, she was convicted on charges of fraudulent advertising and operating a television station without a license, and was fined a total of GH₵46,000.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as ghanaian religious leaders. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 8, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q135197905. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2021 and 2022.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
