Religious leader Nyame Somafo Yawoh has condemned the government’s move to invite Ghanaian prophets to share visions and spiritual revelations about national leaders.

This decision follows numerous prophecies from pastors who claimed to have foreseen the recent helicopter crash in the Ashanti Region, which killed eight high-profile individuals, including top politicians and military officials. During a live appearance on Onua TV on August 14, 2025, Yawoh warned that the policy could lead to disorder and exploitation.

“This will create massive confusion in the country. Even those who aren’t genuine men of God will claim to have divine messages for the President,” he said.

Yawoh called on President John Dramani Mahama to withdraw the directive immediately, arguing that it would empower individuals with dubious spiritual motives.

“Ghana has no true prophets—many operate using questionable powers,” he stated. “If we want peace and order, the President must not entertain such prophecies.”

He emphasized that the aftermath of the crash should be managed carefully, without letting unverified spiritual claims shape public opinion or government decisions.

Yawoh also raised concerns that opportunists might misuse the government’s openness to prophecies for personal gain or to stir unrest.

“Most of these so-called prophets are not led by God’s spirit but by other forces. That’s why this policy must be scrapped,” he insisted.
