Private legal practitioner, Maurice Ampaw has descended on Ghana Police for not disciplining the ‘pompous’ pastor, Reverend Obofour to serve as a deterrent to others.
Maurice Ampaw’s comment follows the infamous weed deliverance conducted by Rev. Obofour when he was invited by another pastor, Prophet Abruku Abruka during a church program last week.
During the service Rev. Obofour called a man with marijuana in his pocket and ordered him to smoke it at the church. Obofour went ahead to deliver the man of the ” weed-smoking spirit” that had allegedly possessed him.
Following a call for his arrest, the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mr. James Oppong-Boanuh ordered Rev. Obofour to be invited and questioned.
In his statement to the Police, the controversial ‘Man Of God” affirmed that he was instructed by the Holy Spirit to allow the man to smoke the illegal substance during the deliverance service session.
Expressing his view on the arrest of Rev.Obofour in an exclusive interview on ‘Maakye’, hosted by Boamah Darko on Accra-based Hot 93.9FM, Lawyer Maurice Ampaw stated that the Police should’ve acted long ago because most Ghanaian Pastors are engaging in criminal activities with impunity which are having negative repercussions on Children.
“ Rev. Obofour, what he did I’m extremely disappointed in the Police because you shouldn’t have started a campaign before they arrest him. Most Pastors of today are engaging in criminal acts with impunity. The things they do in their churches; some are insulting, that provokes people, disturbing public peace, offensive conducts; all these are captured on social media which deprecate the minds of Children”. Maurice Ampaw said.
He added,” Rev.Obofour is becoming swollen headed; he is deviating from his calling because of that arrogance to the extend of saying overtaking is allowed, Smoke the wee no one can do you anything,…how dare him? he should be punished severely to let other pastors know that they are not above the law”.
