The Saltpond Police Command has arrested the Head Pastor of the Holy
Spirit Church at Mankessim, Kwadwo Abraham, popularly known as Pastor
Abraham, for allegedly burning a 9-year-old boy’s penis and some parts
of his body.
Narrating the story to Adom News, the father of the boy, Mr. Stephen
Nyame said the 41-year-old pastor alleged that his son had been
possessed by evil spirits and needed to be delivered.
Mr. Nyame said the ‘pastor’ covered the boy with a scalding hot, wet
cloth three times on various parts of his body including his chest and
penis in what he said was his way of driving away the evil spirits. The
application of the hot cloth, however, raised blisters in the affected
parts.
Observing the results of his action, the ‘pastor’ warned the parents
not to disclose what they had seen or be cursed with the spirits
afflicting the boy and other spirits.
Pastor Abraham then absconded.
“After some days, I realised that my son was suffering so I reported
the case to the Mankessim Police Command and the police later arrested
him,” Mr. Nyame stated.
The District Police Commander of Saltpond, DSP David Ashong, who
confirmed the arrest to Adom News, stated that Pastor Kwadwo Abraham was
arrested on Friday 9, 2014.
DSP Ashong says the case has been handed over to the Cape Coast office
of the Domestic Violence and Victims' Support Unit (DOVVSU) of the Ghana
Police Service for investigations whiles the pastor is in the custody
of the police to assist in investigations.
Meanwhile, due to financial constraints, Mr. Nyame has not been able to
send his 9-year-old son to the Saltpond Government Hospital, as
recommended by the police.
