Ankrah, Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council, the Prophetic Council, Catholic Bishops’ Conference, and all the relevant Christian bodies, as well as the Ghana Police Service, please, what right does the infamous man behind the pastor have, in the presence of established national institutions such as the Ghana Police Service, to slap the pastor in the very harsh and wicked way he did?The Church of God is not WEAK. WE ARE FOR PEACE, BUT NOBODY SHOULD TAKE US FOR GRANTED.
"Modern-day pastors are not COWARDS AND IGNORANT.Ghana Police Service, arrest the medieval-minded man who slapped the pastor before Sunday. ENOUGH OF THE EXCESSES. N.B. I would like to be connected to the pastor in handcuffs. N.B. I’m not supporting any excesses of religion. NOPE. BUT NOBODY SHOULD TAKE THE LAW INTO THEIR OWN HANDS IN THE NAME OF RELIGION AND ABUSE OTHERS. NO WAY! Such a COWARD.Let’s live in peace. We are one PEOPLE.”
