• A heartbreaking video has surfaced showing the mother of Apraku My Daughter living in a dilapidated room that was once a bathroom
• The video showed the visibly run-down structure with a leaking roof and crumbling walls, and all her belongings in disarray
• Ghanaians were outraged and heartbroken by the video and called for a crowdfunding campaign to help her

A video showing the shabby living conditions of the mother of late Ghanaian pastor Emmanuel Kwaku Apraku, popularly known as Apraku My Daughter, has sparked heartbreak online.

Apraku My Daughter, founder and leader of the King Jesus Evangelistic Ministry International, was a powerhouse preacher during his heyday with over 25 church branches at his peak.

He lost everything he built towards the end of his life and was left in ill health and dependent on certain substances.

His death appears to have left his family in difficulty, with his mother now living in a run-down structure.

In an Instagram video seen by YEN.com.gh, a relative or friend of the late preacher’s mother recorded her sitting in the one-room structure she currently resides in as she narrated her plight.

The room was in a sorry state, with all her belongings strewn about in a complete mess.

It also contained her sleeping mattress, which had been propped up on the wall to make space during the day.

The narrator said Apraku My Daughter’s mother was forced to live in the dilapidated structure, which had a leaky roof, because she had no other option.

She also panned the camera to show the walls of the structure, which were in poor condition and looked ready to tumble down at any time.

The room was a former bathroom that had been converted into an apartment, the narrator said.

Apraku My Daughter's downfall and death

The news of Apraku My Daughter's mother's condition comes exactly five years after the popular pastor passed away. He died in May 2020 under sad circumstances.

Despite building an international megachurch with over 25 branches in countries such as the United States of America, Switzerland, and the Netherlands, Apraku died a pauper.

He reportedly lost his churches to his junior pastors, who took advantage of his illiteracy to register his assets in their names and take over from him.

At the time of his death, he was a drunkard staying in a dilapidated house around Kasoa in the Central Region.

Days before his death, he had been captured in a viral video looking drunk and struggling to walk. The video received condemnation from Apraku's colleague, Prophet Kumchacha.

“The lady who took the video of Apraku in the drunken state did not do well at all. If he were her father, I doubt she would have comfortably taken such videos. The Bible even discourages the act of laughing at someone’s downfall," he said while confirming Apraku's passing.
