Apraku My Daughter’s Mother Speaks: “My Room Floods When It Rains, I Often Eat Mangoes To Sleep”

• The mom of the late Apraku My Daughter said she is living in a dilapidated structure that was once a bathroom
• A video showing her cramped, messy room with a leaky roof went viral on June 16, 2025, sparking a huge outcry
• She said life has been unbearable since her son’s death in 2020, with no money to eat or a decent place to sleep

Comfort Abena Serfour, the mother of the late Ghanaian pastor, Apraku My Daughter, has spoken up about living in a converted bathroom in Jinijini.

In a video sighted by YEN.com.gh, she cried out about the poor living conditions she had been forced to endure since the 2020 death of her son.

Emmanuel Kwaku Apraku, founder and leader of the King Jesus Evangelistic Ministry International, was one of the biggest preachers in Ghana in the late 1990s and 2000s.

He amassed massive wealth and, at one point, owned multiple luxury cars and mansions across the country.

Apraku My Daughter grew his church to over 25 branches worldwide, including congregations in Switzerland, the Netherlands, the United States, and other countries.

He suffered a dramatic fall from grace when he lost control of all his churches to his junior pastors. In the final years of his life, he was completely broke and ended up falling into alcoholism.

Apraku My Daughter’s mother speaks on life

On Monday, June 16th, 2025, a video emerged on Instagram showing the shambolic conditions Apraku’s mother currently experiences.

The online footage showed her in a one-room structure that was reportedly formerly a bathroom, located in Jinijini in the Bono region.

The room was in a sorry state, with all her belongings strewn about in a complete mess and her sleeping mattress propped against the wall to make space during the day.

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

They pleaded for the general public to help her find a better place to live and to be able to feed herself, as she had no money to live on.

How Apraku My Daughter lost his wealth

YEN.com.gh previously reported about how preacher Apraku lost all his wealth and influence after many years as one of Ghana’s richest pastors.

He stated in a 2018 interview that he was betrayed by associates when he went abroad for a year to evangelise and open more church branches.

Apraku My Daughter said he left the affairs of his church in the hands of his deputy and other junior pastors, who ultimately betrayed him.
