Irate youth attack Owusu Bempah’s church over death prophecies

Some youth on Wednesday afternoon attacked the Odorkor branch of Rev Isaac Owusu Bempah’s Glorious Word and Power Ministries International in Accra.

Rev Owusu Bempah had predicted on New Year’s eve that some Ghanaian political and religious leaders, including the Chief Imam, Sheik Nuhu Sharabutu would die in 2018.

Some youth had issued a warning to Rev Owusu Bempah to retract his prophecy or face their wrath.

They then stormed the church premises at Odorkor on Wednesday, wielding cutlasses and vandalising parts of the property.

Plastic chairs, an organ some windows in the church building were damaged.

In a video from the incident, some men can be seen sprinting in fear from the church premises as the rampaging youth vented their frustrations.

A man who was on the premises later said he was assaulted during the incident and had filed a police report.

The youth are also seen ripping a signboard and trying to topple a billboard with the church’s advertisement.
