“Keep quiet”- Christian Council warns

General Secretary of the Christian Council, Rev.Dr. Kwabena Opuni Frimpong, said the pastors must “keep quiet” if they have nothing to say.

 

The Christian Council of Ghana has issued a stern warning to pastors to stop giving spiritual interpretations into the death of Military Captain Maxwell Adam Mahama.

Captain Maxwell Mahama of the 5 Battalion Infantry was on May 29,2017, lynched by residents while he went for his early jogging.

He was allegedly stoned and burnt by the youth of the area who claimed they mistook him for an armed robber. The police have so far made an arrest of 17 persons said to have been in connection with the awful act.

Leader of Glorious Word Power Ministry International, Rev. Owusu Bempah is reported to have said last week that the death of the Military officer was part of punishment meant for former John Mahama, who is also an uncle of the slain soldier.

The General Secretary of the Christian Council expressed disgust at these comments saying they are not “relevant and helpful”.

“Pastors who have some sympathy for a political party must be very careful how they spiritualize the Captain’s death”, Rev. Opuni Frimpong stated.
