Adenta Kumi, who is also an aspirant for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) National Youth Organiser position, directed particular attention at a publication attributed to Prophet Isaac Nyarko.

According to Kumi, the material had circulated widely across social media platforms and was deliberately crafted to provoke fear, anger and distress among sections of the Ghanaian public.

He argued that such utterances, if left unaddressed, carry the potential to disturb public peace, and he urged the IGP to act decisively by prosecuting both men under the relevant provisions of Ghanaian law.

He wrote:

"I, Alfred Ababio Kumi, aka Adenta Kumi, a citizen of the Republic of Ghana, formally petition your office about my genuine concern in sync with millions of Ghanaians over a publication by ‘Prophet Dr.’ Isaac Nyarko (Dr. Power Man) of Grace Impartation Power Ministries on all social media platforms to deliberately cause breach of public peace."

Kumi also appealed to the Ghana Police Service’s cyber surveillance department to take drastic measures to block the alleged publications from circulating further on social media.

The prominent NPP member also added that he had attached video evidence of the alleged utterances from Owusu-Bempah and Isaac Nyarko on a USB flash drive to assist the police with their investigations into the matter.

Who Are Owusu-Bempah and Power Man?

Apostle Isaac Owusu-Bempah is the founder of Glorious Word Power Ministries International and one of Ghana's most recognisable charismatic pastors, known for making bold public declarations on political and national affairs.

Prophet Isaac Nyarko, operating under the Dr Power Man brand through Grace Impartation Power Ministries, has similarly attracted public attention through provocative religious proclamations shared on social media.

Both religious figures have generated controversy through their public statements about the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and its flagbearer, former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, in recent days.
