Pastor caught stealing instruments

The activities of some so-called pastors are worrying.

Earlier, a 'pastor' by name Matthew Osika in Berekum was arrested following suspicion that he looted musical instruments from a different church.

According to YEN.com.gh's earlier report, the Berekum Police in the Bono Region confirmed the reports and made the arrest.

This followed a tip-off they had had from Pastor Paul Asante Bonah, who heads the Amankokwaa Methodist Church as a senior pastor.
