Nana Agradaa has revealed how she allegedly collected money from people who visited her shrine seeking spiritual powers to kill or harm their perceived enemies, while giving them ordinary charcoal disguised as powerful charms.
The former fetish priestess, who is now an evangelist and leader of Heaven Way Champions Church, said she deliberately deceived such clients because she did not want anyone to lose their life.
During a social media interaction, Agradaa questioned whether her actions amounted to stealing, arguing that the people who paid her were seeking help to commit murder, even though she knew the substances she gave them could not cause any harm.
She disclosed that some visitors came to her shrine specifically requesting “juju” to eliminate people they considered enemies.
Rather than providing anything capable of harming their targets, she said she would grind charcoal, package it as a powerful charm and convince the clients that it would bring about the death of their intended victims.
Agradaa maintained that her intention was to prevent killings, adding that she believes God recognises the lives she saved through the practice.
“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.
She also recounted a particular case involving workers who were unhappy that a colleague, who had only recently joined their workplace, had received a promotion and some rewards.
According to Agradaa, the disgruntled workers approached her for a charm that would leave their colleague paralysed if placed on the person’s chair and used as instructed.
She said she would demand that such clients purchase certain items, with the total cost ranging from GH¢3,000 to GH¢5,000. She claimed they had no difficulty parting with the money because of their desire to harm the colleague.
Agradaa used the account to criticise what she described as people’s willingness to spend thousands of cedis on spiritual practices intended to hurt others, while struggling to contribute even GH¢200 as an offering in church.
She further explained that although she gave the clients instructions on how to use the charcoal, presenting it as a potent spiritual substance, she knew it was incapable of producing the results they wanted.
“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,” Agradaa recounted.
Nana Agradaa publicly announced her decision to abandon traditional fetish practices and embrace Christianity in April 2021. She was subsequently ordained into ministry in August 2021.
