General Overseer of the Glorious Word Power Ministries International, Rev. Isaac Owusu Bempah has been re-arrested with six others on Wednesday November 10, after an Accra Circuit Court discharged them.
The man of God was arrested with six others including some pastors of his church.
They are Mensah Ofori, Bright Berchie, a member of the Church, Kwabena Nyarko alias Matata, also a Pastor with the Church, a Movie Producer, Nana Acheampong, Nana Brown, a Blogger, and Kwame Amoh, a Journalist.
The offences include offensive conduct to the breach of peace, and threats of death, as well as conspiracy to and abetment.
According to the Prosecutor, Chief Inspector Dennis Terkpetey, on September 8, 2021, the Complainant, Evangelist Patricia Oduro Koranteng reported that Mensah Ofori and Bright Berchie threatened to kill her and brandished a gun at her with a 24-hour notice to kill her over claims that she had insulted Rev. Owusu Bempah. A video recording of the alleged threat is said to have immediately gone viral on social media.
Subsequently, on September 9, 2021, Nana Acheampong and Nana Brown led the accused persons together with 45 well-built men, wielding cutlasses and other offensive weapons to Evangelist Patricia Oduro Koranteng’s property at Weija where they met her absence and proceeded to her residence at New Aplaku.
The ensuing upheaval and threats were said to have been reported to the Weija Police by an onlooker. The police then moved to the scene. According to the statement, Rev. Owusu Bempah ignored an official police invitation to report himself to assist in investigation.
The Judge, Mrs. Evelyn Asamoah, has directed the Prosecution to file its disclosures by December 3, 2021, for the Court to reconvene on December 14, 2021.
