The Ghana Police Service has arrested the General Overseer of Elohim International Ministry, Prophet William Gyimah, for allegedly issuing death threats against Vice President Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang in a viral video.
The 49-year-old suspect was taken into custody on Tuesday, April 7, 2026, during an intelligence-led operation at Kasoa in the Central Region.
Police stated that the arrest was executed by the IGP’s Cyber Vetting and Enforcement Team (CVET) following the circulation of a video on TikTok and other social media platforms, which allegedly depicted the suspect making the threats.
According to the service, the video was flagged through ongoing social media monitoring, which prompted action by the specialised unit.
Prophet William Gyimah has since been transferred to the Special Investigations Unit (SIU) of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) for further enquiries.
In a statement, the police cautioned the public and media organisations against using their platforms to incite unrest or circulate content that threatens national peace and security.
“The Police Administration wishes to strongly caution the public and media houses against using their platforms to foment trouble or disseminate content that threatens the peace and security of the state,” the statement said
