Self-styled and loudmouth priestess Patricia Asiedu known widely as Nana Agradaa has been arrested.
The news portal states that Nana Agradaa has been arrested as part of efforts by security agencies to clamp down on the activities of spiritualists.
Her two television stations Thunder TV and Ice 1 TV have also been shut down by state security with equipment and other assets seized because those TV stations have been registered.
It is captured in the report that the two stations were raided earlier today for operating without license with its authorization being revoked by the National Communications Authority in March 2020.
Calls for government to deal with activities of charlatans parading as spiritualists have heightened following the ritual murder of a ten-year-old boy at Kasoa.
“Security Intelligence Operatives, in collaboration with the National Communications Authority, stormed the premises of two satellite television stations, namely, Thunder TV and Ice1 TV, who were illegally transmitting without licenses, at Kasoa in the Central Region”.
Ursula Owusu-Ekuful also confirmed the arrest of Nana Agradaa and members of her crew.
“The team arrested the offenders among which included the owner of Thunder TV, Patience Asiedua, popularly known as Nana Agradaa and seized two (2) equipment each used in the illegal transmission from both premises. Nana Agradaa advertises her “Sika Gari” on her TV station, which she claims is her personal god that multiplies money with some rituals she makes.
The Minister also confirmed that government is on a mission to rid the media space of all TV stations and programmes that promote ritual killings.
The influx of unregulated television stations on air have led to promotion of certain content which may affect public order, public morality and the rights and reputation of others. As such, efforts are underway to rid the system of this canker and reduce overcrowding on Ghana’s air waves.
