Rev. Owusu Bempah's trial adjourned to February 2

An Accra Circuit Court has adjourned to February 2, 2022, the trial involving General Overseer of Glorious Word Power Ministry International, Rev. Isaac Owusu-Bempah and three others.

The prosecution was expected to call its first witness at today’s hearing.

However, the presiding judge, Mrs. Rosemary Baah Torsu noted that the accused had written to the Court of his inability to attend today's proceedings.

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¢200,000 bail with two sureties.
