When she came before the court, which was presided over by Samuel Bright Acquah, she was charged with one count of charlatanic advertisement and six counts of defrauding by false pretense.
However, the accused has entered a not guilty plea to the accusations.
The accuser publicized the money-doubling scam on Today Television and several social media platforms, according to the prosecution, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Maxwell Oppong, in an effort to persuade members of the public that she could double any amount donated to her.
According to the prosecution, six complainants provided money to Nana Agradaa under the guise of having it doubled, in the range of GH230 to GH760.
According to ASP Oppong, the police were validating more than 50 complaints made against the suspects.
applying for bail
Despite the outcry from the public, Nana Agradaa's attorney, Randolph Twumasi, contended in his bail application that his client was innocent until proven guilty.
Additionally, he informed the court that his client had an established address and reliable witnesses who would be willing to serve as sureties should she be granted bail.
Counsel further stated that the suspect drove herself to the local police station rather than being detained.

The accusers' membership in the church was not even shown by the prosecution, he claimed.
Against bail
The accuser did not willingly turn herself in to the police, according to ASP Oppong.
Contrary to what the attorney claimed, he claimed that the police completely barred entry to her hiding place after learning the accused's travel plans via intelligence.
He claimed that the accused was left with no choice but to report herself to the police.
The prosecutor further informed the court that Nana Agradaa did not have a fixed address and would not be accessible to appear in court if released on bond.
He asked the court to remand the suspect in order to keep her away from enraged churchgoers for both her personal protection and the sake of the general public.
He claimed that as a result of the accused's social media advertisements, the complainants traveled great distances to attend an all-night service at the Heaven Way Champion International Ministry in Weija in order to have the accused double their money.
According to the charge sheet's front, the defendants "then successfully demanded and obtained enormous quantities of money from several members of the public who attended the aforementioned all-night service at Heaven Way Champion International Ministry, Weija, including complainants in this issue."
