What Owusu Bempah Said About the Chief Imam And NDC Politicians

YEN.com.gh reported in a previous story that the man who has earned the nickname "Nation Prophet" alleged during the December 31, 2022 watchnight service that influential people in Ghana, including the respected Islamic spiritual leader, have sought his spiritual intervention.

Owusu Bempah boasts about ‘secret’ intervention for Chief Imam, other big politicians

The leader and founder of the Glorious Word Power Ministries International made the claim in an attempt to justify his now-threatened yearly 31st December night prophecies.

He then touched on his controversial prophecy about the Chief Imam in 2019. He had prophesied that the Chief Imam was going to pass away that year.

That alleged prophecy was condemned and even resulted in an attack on his church by some youth suspected to be Muslims.

The Muslim community described the prophecy as distressing and disrespectful to their leader. The attacks and condemnation compelled him to apologise to Muslims in Ghana and the Chief Imam in particular.

But on the December 31 'prophetic' watchnight service, Owusu Bempah said he was not a charlatan because no one knows what went between him and the Chief Imam behind the scenes.
