Apostle Emmanuel Opare Adarkwah, Eastern Regional Co-ordinator of the Ghana Association of Faith Healers and Traditional Birth Attendants has cautioned pastors who chain and lash their patients at prayer camps to desist from the act. He warned that the habit amounted to the violation of the rights of patients.
Apostle Adarkwah, who is also the leader of the New Testament Church at Nsawam, gave the warning when he led the executive officers of the Association to the Warriors of Zion Prayer Camp at Asante Kwaku near Nsawam, where a 40-year-old member, Esther Ayeley of the church died through an alleged canning by Pastor Kwame Kussi.
In an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA), Apostle Adarkwah called on healing churches to register with the Association so that their activities would be regularize and coordinated. Rev Amoah Agyare, an executive member of the Association, inaugurated a five-member regional taskforce to check Identity Cards and license of healing and prayer camps. He said pastors and ministers of churches who operated illegally in the area would be sanctioned when caught. Pastor Kwame Kussi who alleged lash the church member to death is in Nsawam prison custody.
