Kwaku Bonsam, a well-known fetish priest, has denied the existence of the so-called "double money charm."
He advises the people not to believe fetish priests who advertise on TV and claim to have such abilities since he claims that such a charm does not exist and that they are false.
His remarks follow the arrest of Patricia Asiedua, a well-known fetish priest turned pastor, also known as Nana Agradaa, on suspicion of running a money-doubling scheme, which several members of the public had accused her of.
Videos of her claimed victims sobbing inside a church in Weija, Accra, on Saturday started to circulate on social media.
According to reports, Nana Agradaa had made a TV commitment to provide $300,000 to her congregation and double any donations made to her.
On Saturday, a sizable throng showed up at the church in response to the announcement, bringing varying sums of money in the hopes that it would be multiplied.
However, Nana Agradaa closed her church doors and left after receiving their money and giving a sermon.
In an interview on the Ghana Kasa program on Kasapa 102.5FM/Agoo TV, Kwaku Bonsam discussed the situation and predicted that if Ghanaians don't get smart and put an end to their greed, they would continue to be duped.
He emphasized that if there was money-doubling magic, he would have used it and given the State billions of Ghana Cedis to save the nation from asking the IMF for a bailout.
There’s nothing like double money, pocket no dry charm in the world, believe me, it does not exist. If it existed, I would have conjured money for President Akufo-Addo.
I would have given him several billions of Ghana Cedis so that we don’t go to the IMF for a bailout. If double money charm existed, I would have used it for my benefit and bought myself a private jet by now.
Some of these fetish priests who come on TV and show bundles of cash sometimes connive with some back to collect the cash, and after they are done with their TV shows, they return the money. I say again, if double money charm existed, I would have told you. Kwaku Bonsam stated.
