Founder and leader of the Glorious Word Power Ministries International, Reverend Isaac Owusu Bempah, has been hospitalized at the Accra Police Hospital.
This comes just hours after he was remanded in custody for allegedly assaulting fellow preacher, Evangelist Patricia Oduro Kwarteng formerly known as Nana Agradaa.
He and four other accomplices were remanded in police custody to reappear in court on Monday, September 20, 2021, after they spent a day in cells on Sunday.
The Presiding Judge, Afia Owusuaa Appiah, said this will allow the police more time to carry out further investigation into the assault allegation they are currently investigating.
Earlier in court, there was drama when Rev. Owusu Bempah arrived for the hearing.
Some of his church members who accompanied him tried to stop journalists from filming his arrival.
Using insults and jostling, they tried to disperse the media outside the court.
BACKGROUND
Owusu Bempah was arrested on Sunday, September 12, 2021, after he reportedly ordered his boys to attack police officers who were at his Church premises.
The officers were there to arrest some of his boys who brandished guns in social media videos to threaten Nana Agradaa.
The police in a statement said “Reverend Isaac Owusu Bempah and three others have been arrested. The other three suspects are Michael Boateng, Frederick Ohene, and Nathaniel Agyekum. Two other suspects are on the run and the Police are pursuing them.”
