Rev. Owusu Bempah, 3 others face court today over alleged assault on police officers

The Head Pastor of the Glorious Word Power Ministries International, Reverend Isaac Owusu Bempah is expected to be arraigned today, Monday, September 13, 2021, following his arrest on Sunday.

He was arrested with three others for allegedly attacking police officers at the church premises, a police statement said on Sunday 12 September 2021.

Reports say the police went to the church premises to arrest Reverend Owusu Bempah and his men over a viral video showing them with weapons at the residence of converted fetish priestess, Nana Agradaa.

Agradaa reportedly provoked Rev. Bempah before her home was invaded.

“The suspects are being detained for further investigations over the creation and circulation of multiple videos containing threats, the brandishing of a weapon and the assault of some police personnel,” the statement said.

Meanwhile, the injured policemen have received medical attention and are responding to treatment, the statement signed by the Acting Director, Public Affairs Unit of the Police Service, ACP Kwesi Ofori said.
