It all began on April 13, 2025, when the accused, who is also a pastor, accused Stephen Adom Kyei Duah of being a false prophet. He reportedly made the claims on various social media platforms, including TikTok, Facebook, WhatsApp, etc.

In his videos, Emmanuel Boachie also claimed the leader of the Philadelphia Movement was a thief, an anti-Christ, a robber, among many unpleasant things, without providing any evidence to back his claims.

The accused also alleged that the prophet’s teachings and doctrines were not only misleading but also ran contrary to biblical truth and the teachings of Jesus Christ.

His remarks broke Stephen Adom Kyei-Duah's heart and infuriated him, prompting him to instigate an arrest.
