The Head Pastor of Gomoa Amoanda branch of Musama International Church, Isaac Arthur, has been arrested in an alleged attempt to have sex with a 25-year-old man.
According to reports, some irate youth in the area apprehended the suspect.
The victim is said to have alerted his friends to clandestinely follow them after the pastor contacted him for them to meet.
They first moved to an uncompleted building to carry out the act but the victim declined and asked they move to the suspect’s house instead.
Narrating how he got his friends involved, he indicated that he recorded their conversations and gave them out to his friends.
He then told them he would use a cough to signal them once the pastor initiates the act in his room, an idea the friends bought into.
The victim said when he entered the pastor’s room, the pastor immediately undressed and asked the victim to bend for him during which he coughed for his friends to force the door open and entered.
The pastor has since been handed over to the Gomoa Dominase Police Command with investigations underway.
The District Police Commander, DSP Osei Foffie, who confirmed the arrest, said the suspect was brought in at about 10:30 pm on Sunday.
Despite church members being in denial and yet to come to terms with the pastor’s act, he is expected to be put before the Ofaakor Circuit Court once investigations are completed.
CCF’s crime prevention advocacy
Aside from paying for the fines of petty offenders, Crime Check Foundation (CCF) has introduced programmes including the latest ‘Stay Away From Trouble’ as part of its crime prevention advocacy project.
Through these programmes CCF cautions the general public against acts that could land them in trouble in a bid to curb crime.
The Foundation screens one-on-one interviews with prison inmates bringing to bear acts that landed them in prison and the difficulties they face in custody.
It has also paid the fines of many petty offenders for their release and integrated them into society.
