Evangelist Mama Pat Confesses To Using Charcoal To Defraud Clients Of Up To GH₵5,000

According to reports, Popular Ghanaian figure Evangelist Mama Pat, formerly known as traditional priestess Nana Agradaa, has sparked widespread shock after making a candid confession about her past practices. In a viral video circulating on social media, she openly admitted to deceiving clients who sought her spiritual assistance by using ordinary charcoal and charging them exorbitant fees.

According to her statement, Mama Pat collected between GH₵3,000 and GH₵5,000 from vulnerable individuals desperately seeking solutions to their personal problems, only to hand them charcoal as part of an elaborate scheme. “I used charcoal to deceive people and charged up to GH₵5,000,” she confessed in the footage, acknowledging that she exploited the trust and financial resources of people who believed in her purported spiritual powers.

Mama Pat’s public transition from a prominent traditional priestess to a Christian evangelist has long been a subject of intense scrutiny across Ghana, with critics frequently questioning the sincerity of her transformation. Her latest admission appears to validate long-standing suspicions regarding her former operations, while raising pressing questions about the total number of victims affected and the full scale of money obtained under false pretenses.

The confession has triggered sharply divided reactions among Ghanaians. While some observers have commended her honesty, noting that publicly owning up to past deceit requires courage, many others remain outraged. Critics argue that a verbal confession is insufficient given the exploitation of desperate citizens, prompting widespread calls for accountability and inquiries into whether she intends to refund her former clients.

Ultimately, Mama Pat’s revelation has reignited broader national discussions surrounding spiritual fraud and the urgent need for oversight within Ghana’s religious and traditional sectors, serving as a cautionary tale for the public against predatory practices.
