A self-styled preacher, Prophet Kwabena Owusu Agyei who was seen in a viral video threatening and castigating President Akufo-Addo and the Electoral Commission Chairperson, Jean Mensa has been arrested.
The preacher was reportedly arrested by plain cloth security men during a live interview with Accra-based Hot FM Tuesday morning.
The pastor at a Church Service on Facebook live via NDC TV on Sunday served a strong warning to the EC boss to stop the compilation of the new voters' register.
He arrogantly displayed that if the voter’s register is allowed to be changed, the Electoral Commissioner will die, adding that Ghana will not allow a small family to dictate to the nation.
The NDC pastor stated categorically that, during the June 4 revolution, it was the blood of the military that flowed and that, what he is hearing in this time, it is the blood of the ‘Akyem mafia’ that will flow.
He said should the EC Chairperson attempt the compilation of a new electoral roll she will die at 12 midday without indicating the day.
Arrest
In a video seen by Peacefmonline.com, the Prophet was arrested on Tuesday morning at what appears to be his home (coded location) during a live interview with Accra based Hot FM.
He was apprehended by the plain cloth security personnel immediately he started ranting again during the interview.
The officers with an arrest warrant interuppted the interview and whisked him away in a black vehicle.
Indian Hemp
In another video seen in an office where he was taken to after the arrest, the Prophet in handcuff was seen holding a substance suspected to be Indian Hemp wrapped in a brown paper and being search thouroughly by the security personnel.
Decision to compile a new register
Meanwhile, the Electoral Commission of Ghana has stated that the underlying legal reasons for its decision not to include the existing voter’s Identification Card (ID) in its upcoming registration exercise is because the Supreme Court itself has held that the register is reasonably not credible and that by implication, the cards issued pursuant to it are also reasonably not credible.
The EC made this accession in its thirty-one (31) page response to the order of a seven-member Supreme Court panel on the 4th of June 2020, to provide legal basis for its decision to exclude the existing voter’s identity card from the list of IDs that are admissible for the upcoming voters' registration exercise due to commence at the end of the month of June.
The EC’s Supplementary Statement of Case was filed today Monday, the 8th of June 2020 in fulfilment of the timelines given by the Supreme Court.

MAY I KNOW, IF WE BLACK PEOPLE ARE EXPECTING A NEW MOSES TO COME AND TAKE US FROM BONDAGE OR A NEW SON OF MAN?WE LIVE IN DARK AGE AND STILL DON,T WANT TO SHOW UP AND LIVE LIKE WE HAVE enough SENSE-ONLY IF AM RIGHT.THIS IS SO PATHETIC THAT EVEN CHINESE AND INDIANS FEEL THEIR TOO BIG OVER OUR COLOUR IN OUR OWN HOME LANDS. JUST LIKE WHAT THIS ACLAIMED PROPHET OR PASTOR HAS DONE-HE NEEDS TO BE CAGED AND GET ROTTEN IN NSAWAM PRISONS,PERIOD.
The state has not been fair to leave the man ranting on Net 2 TV and arrest this man. The same person who thought Anas is a danger to policy makers has opened a TV station where he sits to presents a one-sided case on all the people he accuse and the nation is watching powerlessly. Are we to say he is an angel when he worked against Anas on the premise that he is not an angel. Next time I checked besides this man of God who threatened the EC, it was this man who threatened Anas, and Amed Suale is now of blessed memory and he still goes on threatening others. Asemsebe
Nana Yaw so do you call this pastor's action as constructive criticism? Pls take off your political lense and reason. How on earth do you defend someone who is insulting and threatening others life? SHAME
HAHAHAAHA OSOFO RASTA MAN!! He does not seem to have smoked any weed in the morning that is why he now looks meek and sheepish. This should be a lesson to others who think that freedom of speech means to say whatever you like without considering the long term consequences of your speech. Bravo to the security institutions who are now fully alert and finally bringing such loose canons to book.
Yeah, It's Illegal To Possess Such Substances . But IS IT ALSO NOT ILLEGAL TO ARREST SOMEONE AT A RAMBO-STYLE? THE PRESIDENT HIMSELF IS ALSO A WEED SMOKER SO WHY CAN'T THE SECURITY AGENTS ARREST THE PRESIDENT FIRST AND ALSO SEARCH THE FLAGSTAFF HOUSE AND ARREST THOSE PEOPLE TO SERVE AS A DETERRENT TO OTHERS?. THAT WILL BE A PLUS FOR THE GOVERNMENT. IS IT NOT THE SAME SECURITY MEN WHO HAVE BEEN GIVING GUNS TO ARM ROBBERS? HYPOCRISY OF THE HIGHEST DEGREE. SHAME ON YOU.
so so stouopid stuff people dey support. once you say you will kill some one . that person can actually be killed. you dont say such things and be allowed to walk around . people reason up and stop this things
Some readers should remove their political lenses before reading in other to understand and discern,If the weed was planted on him don't you think he will say so immediately in front of the journalist whom reported this news,Or the very bold/courageous "NDC" Pastor whom was ranting on radio can't speak anymore, Is he now deaf and dumb ? Guilt is written all over his face...
THE WEE WAS PLANTED ON HIM. VERY SAD. WHAT DIDN'T THE NPP SAY ABOUT MAHAMA. THERE IS GOD. KARMA AWAITS ALL
Pls guys, this arrest is a shame. The government should open up with criticism and stop arresting innocent person like this pastor. Peace FM stop being use by Government for it abusive method of harassing, intimidating and shaming people like this pastor who try to criticise the government of their bad doing. I will stand by this pastor of his courage of speaking the truth. Indeed he is our generation of Jesus Christ.
Those who are quick to make wrong assertions against the security agency, have you asked your so-called pastor if the weed was planted on him as you are saying? ABCD get it on record Ghana has not legalised weed. only aspect for industrial purposes was granted by parliament. If he is NDC or which pastor no one cares but you can't threat people's life just because of compilation of new register
