Court adjourns Owusu Bempah’s trial as AG’s office requests to study docket
Chief Inspector Terkpetey told the Court that the request is to enable the AG’s department study the case and advice same.
The Accra Circuit Court has adjourned the case involving Rev. Isaac Owusu Bempah and three others to March 24, 2022 after prosecutors said the office of the Attorney-General requested for the docket of the case.
Chief Inspector Terkpetey told the Court that the request is to enable the AG’s department study the case and advice same.
“We cannot proceed today due to certain happenings in the matter. The head of prosecution at the Accra Region of the Ghana Police Service directed me to inform the court that the docket in respect of this matter was called by the office of the Attorney-General for study and advice. As we speak, the region’s docket is in the office of the Attorney General, and therefore I cannot proceed,” he said.
Rev. Bempah was arrested after a video of him and his church members threatening to kill a fetish priest turned Evangelist; Patricia Oduro Koranteng popularly called Nana Agradaa, went viral.
He and his accomplices were also said to have assaulted police officers who were deployed to invite the pastor to assist police investigations on the said allegations.
The pastor, together with Michael Boateng, Frederick Ohene, and Nathaniel Agyekum, have been charged with offensive conduct to the breaches of peace. They have been also charged with the threat of death and assault on public officers.
On September 20, 2021, an Accra High Court granted them a GH¢100,000 bail each with two sureties.
