The prayers were reportedly to seek God’s favour for Daddy Lumba’s first wife, who remains embroiled in a bitter legal feud with the musician’s second wife, Odo Broni.

Unfortunately for the prominent evangelist, turnout for the program appeared to be low.

Videos from the day of the prayers showed the venue looking bare, with many chairs laid out for guests who appeared not to have shown up.

A viral video showed Papa Shee in a sombre mood as he prepared to start the program despite the apparent low patronage.

Despite the challenges with turnout, the man of God went ahead with the program, preaching to those in attendance and also holding a prayer and deliverance session.

A YouTube video of Papa Shee's crusade for Akosua Serwaa is below:
