Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, the leader and founder of Action Chapel International, a global Charismatic Christian church headquartered in Accra has responded to recent attacks directed at him by former British High Commissioner to Ghana, Jon Benjamin, Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC and others such as Kevin Taylor.
Speaking in an interview on Channel One TV on July 7, 2025, Archbishop Duncan-Williams addressed the criticisms, stating that he has never seen the lives of individuals who attack others end well.
“I wouldn’t want to dwell on it too much because I’m used to these kinds of media misrepresentations over the years.
“This is my 47th year in ministry, and I have seen the outcome of such individuals.
“People should not make the mistake of thinking that attacking others, discrediting them, and throwing stones at people will come without consequence. The belief that you can do so and remain untouched is a lie. I have seen the implications of these actions over the years and decades. Such people never end well, and that is all I’ll say on that,” he said.
Drawing on a biblical reference, Archbishop Duncan-Williams cautioned against hypocrisy, urging people to self-examine before passing judgment on others.
“Before you throw stones at someone else, examine yourself, when the woman caught in adultery was brought before Jesus, there was already an error because adultery takes two, but they left the man and brought only the woman.
“Secondly, everyone had a stone ready to cast at her. But Jesus said, anyone among you who is without sin, let him cast the first stone. And one by one, they all dropped their stones and walked away.”
“…So, I’m simply putting it on record that there are always implications for attacking people and pointing fingers. When you point one finger at others, the remaining fingers point back at you.”
Jon Benjamin had criticised Archbishop Duncan-Williams over a remark the clergyman made during the launch of the National Prayer and Thanksgiving Day on July 1, 2025.
During the event, Duncan-Williams expressed his hope that Ghana would reach a point where citizens would no longer travel abroad in search of greener pastures but rather travel only for leisure, such as food tours.
Responding to this, Jon Benjamin accused the archbishop of living a lavish lifestyle funded by church tithes.
He claimed to have personally witnessed the luxurious life Duncan-Williams enjoys, alleging that the pastor sometimes books the entire first-class cabin on British Airways flights for his family vacations.
“Duncan-Williams certainly travels for nice vacations, on occasion booking the whole first-class cabin of the BA flight to London for his family. I wonder if the poor people who give him ‘tithes’ they can’t afford, and which undermine their economic survival, known in what high luxury he lives. I saw that luxury with my own eyes at his house and office,” Benjamin wrote.
Abronye, on the other hand, also slammed the man of God over what he claimed were his affiliations with the ruling government to plot a third-term bid for President John Dramani Mahama, a claim the NPP has disassociated itself from.
It may also be recalled that social media pundit Kevin Ekow Taylor, on his episodes, also serially attacked the man of God, calling him a womanizer and “fake” pastor among other things.
I’ve been in ministry for 47 years and I’ve seen the outcome of such individuals. I’ve seen the implications of these things and these kinds of people over the decades — They never end well!
