Osofo Kyiri Abosom details safety concerns

Speaking on UTV's United Showbiz hosted by MzGee on Saturday, June 10, the general overseer of the Life Assembly Worship Centre asked Archbishop Agyinasare to consider his safety.

''There's no need for [Archbishop Agyinasare] to appear before them after the press statement. If you have God, there's no need to heed the 14 days ultimatum. But he has to treat the traditional leaders respectfully by speaking to them to address their concerns, but he should not go before them.

''He stood in his church and made the comments, and they heard it. He also came out with a press statement; they should accept it. He [Archbishop Agyinasare] does not need to appear before them because they can't guarantee his safety completely. What if someone attacks him with a stone or shoots him? If he's listening to me, I'll ask him not to go there," Osofo Kyiri Abosom said.

Background

The uproar stems from Archbishop Agyinasare's account of his encounter with certain demonic beings during his journey in Nogokpo while ministering to the congregation at the Perez Chapel.

His remarks outraged the residents of Nogokpo, who saw the preacher as categorising them as a hotbed of witchcraft, a perception they wished to dispel in Ghanaians' minds.

Following the renowned preacher's viral statements, community leaders issued a press statement demanding an unequivocal apology from the Archbishop or face their wrath.

Archbishop Agyinasare has stated that he had no intention of disparaging the people of Nogokpo and the Volta Region. His remarks were made in reaction to a demand for an apology.
