Background

The outrage stems from Archbishop Agyinasare's story of meeting with demonic spirits while ministering to the congregation at the Perez Chapel in Nogokpo.

His comments infuriated residents of Nogokpo, who perceived the preacher as labelling them as a hotbed of witchcraft, a perception they desired to eradicate in the eyes of Ghanaians.

Following the renowned preacher's viral words, community leaders released a press statement demanding that the Archbishop give an unreserved apology or face their wrath.
