Vile man of God who threatened Nana Addo, Jean Mensa arrested with ‘weed’

A self proclaimed “man of God whose video went viral threatening mayhem, and slaughtering of the President and his clan, has been arrested.

The 56-year old “man of God” had in his possession, a big quantity of ‘Indian Hemp’ (weed) when he was arrested by a joint force made up of the CID and National Security at his residence near the Greda Estates on the Spintex Road in Accra today.

Kwabena Owusu Adjei, in a video that went viral, threatened the EC Boss, the President and the people from Kyebi in very uncomplementary terms.

Speaking to a small group of congregants, Owusu Adjei said “…. today as I hear the word blood flows, it is the blood of the Akyem Mafia that will flow”, alluding to the June 4 Revolution and the subsequent killing of high military command in the Region 1979 June 4 Uprising.

He has been processed for court.

The pastor referred to the overthrow of the president’s father, Edward Akufo-Addo, who was president in 1970 and suggested a similar fate would happen to Nana Akufo-Addo.

“There are some people when you give them the power they cannot hold on to it and he is just like his father” he gesticulated violently.

“There is no way he can hold on to this power. God is my witness, hallelujah” he said to which an audience responded ‘amen’.

This is the second time in three months that the president has been threatened in a video posted online.

A private security guard has been arraigned after he called for the president’s beating. It was during the period when Accra and parts of the country was under lockdown amidst the coronavirus pandemic.

It has also emerged that Kwabena Owusu Adjei has made similar destablising comments under the previous Mahama government. He once said there will be a coup d’etat if John Mahama wins the 2016 elections.

In the latest threats of violence, he also attacked the EC chairperson, Jean Mensa, in the now viral video.

When he got to Jean Mensa, the so-called pastor worked up in a violent frenzy, stood up, beating his chest, screaming.

He dared the EC boss.

“If Jean Mensa thinks she was not born of a woman but came from some other angle and so she wants to do another register, she should go ahead and do the new register” he fumed.

The Electoral Commission and the opposition National Democratic Congress have locked horns over plans to compile a new voter’s register.

All other political parties have taken sides with the governing New Patriotic Party supporting the EC’s plan.

After several demonstrations against the plan, the opposition NDC has taken the matter to court.

Ghana has barely six months to a general elections and the new voter’s register is yet to be compiled.

Civil society groups, peace council and the national house of chiefs have tried to broker some agreement but to no avail.
