Prophet Elisha's family denies occultism allegations

During his address, the late prophet's family head, Nana Kwadwo Danso, forcefully rejected any suggestion that the late prophet was involved in occult practices, insisting that such claims were unfounded.

He distanced the deceased from any fraternal orders, civil society groups, or organisations that critics had attempted to link him to, stating clearly that Prophet Elisha Osei Kofi was not affiliated with the groups being cited in the allegations.
