    He should be released immediately! I cannot understand why the big thieves in the church and in politics walk free on the street. You have no idea how much church leaders have stolen from poor congregation.

    He stole GHC14,000.00 and was find to a total of GHC3,600.00.
    If this was correct, then it is rather an encouragement to pay off and be free,or is he going to refund the stolen money,Ghanaweb,check again please.

  • Vuvuzela 11 years ago

    Exactly what I thought.

    Because 90% of Ghanaians think they are too clever. In UK, Only 20% of ppl actually think they are clever. Look at how lawful and honest British people are?

  • Sweden 11 years ago

    Such a great comment. Ghanaians are the most arrogant, corrupt and dishonest people I have ever met.

  • Sally. London 11 years ago

    This should serve as a lesson for these so called church goers that their men are crooks; all of them. Please be wise and look after your family instead of contributing to these churches. Bam!

  • Nzema K 11 years ago

  • shey-Gelege 11 years ago

    77 times 7 is what Jesus said, the number of times people must forgive. The church which preaches this sermon of Jesus can't even obey it for once. the church has a lot of money and should be able to forgive this tiny amount ...

    So, it appears the "founder" was the sole signatory to the numeral bank accounts, right? No other member of the church could have asked for statements, let alone audits of the account. No wonder all of them are fucking rich. ...
