Reverend Donkoh's arrest and court appearance
The fire incident at Reverend Donkoh's church comes months after he was arrested on the evening of Friday, July 25, 2025, and hurled before court over his doom prophecies about Shatta Wale.
Sharing two prophecies in a viral video, the pastor claimed that the dancehall musician escaped an attempt on his life from some individuals wielding weapons and chasing him in his first vision.
Reverend Donkoh added that Shatta Wale was eventually assassinated by a group of gun-wielding men who ambushed him while he was cruising on the streets inside a luxurious vehicle.

The prophet's doom prophecy triggered an angry response from the SM boss, who slammed him on social media and later got the police to arrest him.
Shatta Wale later shared footage showing the pastor being escorted by some security personnel upstairs to pick up some needed items before they took him to the police station.
Donkoh was arraigned before court and was handed a GH¢20k bail with three sureties.
