The leader of Heaven's Gate Ministries, Prophet Nicholas Osei, popularly known as Prophet Kumchacha, has described Frank Kwaku Appiah, also known as Appiah Stadium, as a security threat to President John Mahama.

He condemned Appiah Stadium's seemingly aggressive approach towards President Mahama and other notable figures in public, which is sometimes seen as going against protocol.

Appiah Stadium, a confessed fanatic of President Mahama, has been open about his unconditional love for the president and the benefits he has gained through his relationship with President John Mahama and his brother, Ibrahim Mahama.

In a video shared on Facebook, Prophet Kumchacha urged the security apparatus to take Appiah Stadium's conduct seriously, adding that it must not be overlooked.

"Appiah is misconducting himself and should be called to order by the National Security. I am very fine with President John Mahama, but I know when to get close to him. I may visit him at his home or the Jubilee House. A lot of people went to school with the Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, but today, because of his position, his schoolmates cannot just walk up to him in public," Kumchacha said.

"What Appiah Stadium is doing is a security threat. I have watched many of his videos, and I have called him but have not been able to reach him. There have been instances where the president is sitting in his car surrounded by his security detail, and Appiah Stadium will force his way to greet the president. I have seen a video where Appiah Stadium was chasing the president’s car as it moved, which is certainly a security threat. In this world, when your enemy wants to get to you, they use someone very close to you."

Meanwhile, Ibrahim Mahama, President John Mahama's brother and a business mogul, recently publicly scolded Appiah Stadium for his public approach towards President John Dramani Mahama.

In a viral video, Ibrahim Mahama is seen being ushered into a public function where he meets Appiah Stadium among the crowd. In a brief interaction with the activist, Ibrahim Mahama expressed concern over Appiah Stadium's seemingly aggressive approach towards President John Mahama in public, stating, "It is not nice."

The rest of their conversation, however, is unclear due to the loud music at the event and the cheering from the crowd.

Appiah Stadium was recently blocked from accessing President John Dramani Mahama when he attempted to approach the president at a funeral on February 7, 2025, at Burma Camp.

Mahama, who was among the dignitaries attending the funeral of the late Chief of Defence Staff, Lieutenant General Arnold Quainoo, was captured leaving the premises when Appiah Stadium attempted to approach him as he boarded his vehicle. However, military and police officers prevented him from getting close to the statesman.

Appiah Stadium was heard shouting his name to the president to get his attention. He later managed to get closer to the presidential vehicle when a staff member lowered the front passenger-side window to speak with him.
