Head of Local Government Service, Nana Ato Arthur, has questioned the modus operandi of the Anointed Palace Chapel International [ACP], founded by Francis Antwi, popularly known as Reverend Obofour.
To him, recent activities of the said church and conduct of its members are ‘uncalled for’ and must be condemned by the Christian fraternity.
His comment comes after Adwoa Amoako, Municipal Chief Executive [MCE] of Tema West Assembly, reportedly escaped being physically attacked by some agitated members of Obofour’s church.
The MCE and his team were at the premises of the Community 18 branch of the church as part of their routine checks when the irate youth allegedly pounced on them and subjected them to severe beatings with sticks and cutlassess.
The taskforce had planned to write on the churh walls following the failure of the church to produce a permit when the incident occured.
A police complaint was later made by the Assembly to the Sakumono Police Station, who took up the matter and arrested the five culprits.
Speaking on NEAT FM’s morning show ‘Ghana Montie’, Nana Ato Arthur who was clearly unamused by the incident questioned if truly ACP is a house of God.
“Is that place really a church?” he repeatedly quizzed.

DOES IT LOOK LIKE A SHRINE? WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT? I WONDER HOW THESE WELL BUILT TASK FORCE GUYS COULD BE OVER POWERED BY THESE HANDFULL CHURCH GUARDS. GHANA IS SICK AND FOR ME THE EARLIER WE FACE FACTS THE BETTER. WAS THE CHURCH BUILT OVERNITE, WHY ARE GHANIANS OUR OWN ENEMIES. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT SOME CROOKS ARE BEHIND THIS UNFORTUNATE ACT AT THE CHURCH PREMISES. IT IS OBVIOUS THE MAN IS RISING VERY FAST AMONG HIS PEERS AND AS USUAL SOME PEOPLE IN THE CHURCH BUSINESS ARE ***barred word*** OF HIM HENCE LETS PULL HIM DOWN, THATS THE GHANAN WE HAVE. IN SPITE OF HIS WEAKNESSES WHICH I BELIEVE MOST MEN OF GOD HAS, THE GUY IS SERIOUSLY CONTIBUTING HIS QUOTA TO THE NATION, CHECK THE OTHER SIDE OF HIM AND LEAVE THE REST TO GOD FOR TRUTH WILL ALWAYS BE THE DAUGHTER OF TIME.
THE LAW HAS NO RESPECT FOR NO ONE. THE LAW MUST BE APPLIED AND NO ONE SHOULD TWIST THE LAW. THERE ARE MANY BIG MEN AND WOMEN IN THIS COUNTRY WHO ALWAYS BLOCKS THE LAW. THIS TIME THESE BIG MEN AND WOMEN MUST STAND ASIDE AND THE LAW MUST BE APPLY WITHOUT MERCY.
