The founder and general overseer of the Glorious Word and Power Ministries International, Rev. Owusu Bempah has been invited by the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service over alleged threats he made against Mugabe Masse, a journalist with Radio XYZ.

According to the Director-General of Public Affairs of the Ghana Police Service, ACP David Eklu, Mr Bempah has been invited to the CID Headquarters to aid in investigations.

Mr Eklu disclosed while speaking on Accra based radion station Citi FM that, “Rev. Owusu Bempah has been invited. He is to report at the CID Headquarters for us to start [investigations]” .

Meanwhile, the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) in a press statement had called on Ghana Police Service to immediately arrest the Pastor over the threats.

The statement read, “The 1992 Constitution of the Republic of Ghana under Article 17 (1) provides in unambiguous terms that no person is above the law. That constitutional provision must be upheld by reorienting Owusu-Bempah as being a subject, not a lord, of the law”.

The Association also called on the Christian Council of Ghana to condemn the violent conduct of Owusu Bempah.

Rev. Owusu Bempah has a history of aggression towards radio presenters and hosts where he once damaged equipment at Accra-based Hot FM during an interview some months ago.

He was upset he had been challenged to perform a miracle during an interview in December 2018 and damaged a laptop and microphone in the studio.

However, the Head pastor of the Glorious Word and Power Ministries International later apologised to the Management of Hot FM for his conduct.
