The Ghana Police Service have warned religious leaders to desist from New Year prophecies of harm, danger and death and others that could create tension and panic in the Anglophone West African country in the Year 2022.
In many West African countries with mega-churches including Ghana
and Nigeria, New Year prophecies are reeled out by religious leaders
towards the end of a preceding year or at Crossover Services on
December 31st to usher in a New Year.
Some of these prophecies have been known to cause panic while many
of them eventually do not come to fulfilment.
The Ghana Police, therefore, in a statement signed by its Director, Public
Affairs, Superintendent Alexander Obeng, said persons found guilty of
causing tension in the Ghanaian society through injurious prophecies
could be liable to a term of imprisonment of up to five years.
