File photo: The pastor’s wife has jumped to her husband’s defence over the allegations
A female member of the Breaking Through Ministry in Adeiso, Upper West Akim District, who was previously excommunicated, has alleged that the church’s founder and leader, Prophet Dr Abraham Allotey, also known as Beyi Kwasia, sexually abused her.
The member, identified as Osman Ajara, alleges that the prophet shaved her private area and trimmed her nails under the guise of receiving divine direction.
The incident has been referred to traditional authorities, who have invited the prophet to appear before the chief and elders to confirm or deny the allegations.
The prophet’s wife has vehemently denied the claims and presented a different account of events.
According to her, Ajara had previously requested the prophet’s assistance in influencing her ex-boyfriend, and after becoming dissatisfied with the church’s decision to excommunicate her due to allegations of spreading falsehoods, Ajara began blackmailing the prophet, threatening to fabricate damaging accusations.
Ajara agreed to an interview on Rainbow Radio 87.5FM but declined to speak unless the prophet was on the line.
The prophet’s wife, Evangelist Nana Hemaa, described Ajara as a serial liar who fabricates stories to blackmail people for money, stating that her husband does not reside in the community but rather organises soul-winning activities in the area.
The wife reported that, upon joining the church, Ajara approached the prophet with concerns and sought assistance through prayer and spiritual guidance.
According to the wife, Ajara confided in her husband that her ex-boyfriend was manipulating her and intended to abandon her after a prolonged affair.
She requested the prophet’s guidance so that her ex-boyfriend would comply with her wishes.
The prophet, purportedly endowed with spiritual gifts, demanded GH₵300 from Ajara, which she paid.
Subsequently, he instructed her to purchase a bottle of Fanta, pray over it, and specify her desired outcome for the ex-boyfriend.
After some time, Ajara returned to testify that her ex-boyfriend had purchased an air conditioner for her.
“However, we observed that she was sharing various stories and gossip about individuals with my husband, which prompted me, as a concerned wife, to advise him to limit his interactions with her. Due to her spreading falsehoods about others, we decided to excommunicate her from our church. After confronting one of the individuals she had spoken about, we invited her and those she had gossiped about to discuss the matter, but she was unable to substantiate her claims, leading to her excommunication.
“She began blackmailing my husband, threatening to reveal a purported incident in which he allegedly asked her to groom herself in exchange for directions. This led to my husband being summoned before ten chiefs to respond to the allegations. The chiefs have scheduled a follow-up meeting in a week to further adjudicate the matter. Given the circumstances, it appears the young lady is making false claims about my husband in retaliation for her excommunication from the church,” Evangelist Nana Hemaa stated.
The traditional authorities have scheduled a hearing for the matter, requiring the prophet to return in a week for further adjudication.
