An Accra Tribunal chaired by Mr Frank Manu has ordered the arrest of the head ‘Pastor’ and leader of Shive-Linga Prayer group, James Nana Kwasi Agyeman who is alleged to have raped 12 kids.

Pastor Agyeman was released from Prison under bizarre circumstances by an Accra High Court Judge, Justice Kwame Asiedu last year. This was after five High Court judges had refused to grant him bail after reading his grievous charge sheet.

The bench warrant for his arrest was set in motion when the Romeo ‘Pastor’ did not show up in Court last Wednesday, when he had been scheduled to appear before the honourable assembly.

Following his NO SHOW, the chairman of the Tribunal Mr. Frank Manu had no option than to issue a bench warrant for his arrest over the charge of turning the kids into sex slaves. Among Agyeman’s victims are a three year old. THE SUN’s investigations into the sordid story of the erotic Pastor’s escapades indicates that, when the parents of the kids caused his arrest last year, he was remanded in Prison for almost five months.

THE SUN learnt that while in Prison custody he appeared before five different High Court Judges for bail, but none of them could jump the immoral gun to grant him temporal freedom at the least.

However the same could not be said of Justice Asiedu who first sat on the case as magistrate judge, until he was promoted to the High Court. Under some strange circumstance James Nana Kwasi Agyeman was granted bail and let loose to attack the helpless 12.

Having been granted bail, he engaged two lawyers to fight his case. THE SUN can report that a lot of delay tactics had to be employed by the lawyers of Nana Agyeman. As a result in the last year, the kids had to stop schooling to pursue the case in Court.

Also absent in court was Pastor Agyeman’s secretary, one notorious lad called Cephas, also known as Darlington who normally does the donkey job of readying the deed for the Romeo-Pastor to commit.

Raped Kids Parents Appeal to Gov’t

The parents of the 12 kids who were raped by the leader of Shive- Linga Prayer Group ‘Pastor’ Prophet’ James Nana Kwasi Agyeman have appealed to the Attorney General and the Minister of Justice and the Ministry of Women and Children Affairs to help save their wards’ education.

Speaking to THE SUN last week Mr. Stephen Peprah, spokesman for the victims’ parents said, because of the on-going trial of the multiple rape cases, the kids have stopped attending school for well over one year now. This he said was to enable them attend Court for the trial.

He therefore appealed to the authority to step in and expedite the trial so that the delay tactics employed by Pastor Agyeman and his lawyers, do not affect the kids’ education since it appears they can only start schooling after the trial.

He noted that currently, the children are being taken care of by the government, and thanked her for the gesture. However he said if no action is taken to expedite the trial, it would affect the minors’ education considerably.

“Our information is that delay tactics are going to be intensified to frustrate us and delay justice.

Since justice delayed is justice denied, we are appealing to the Attorney General and the Ministry of Women and Children’s Affairs to put its feet down to ensure that justice is not swept into the dusbin,” he said.

Mr. Peprah who was nearly lynched to death by the supporters of Pastor Nana Agyeman recently in Abidjan, told THE SUN that several attempts had been made by these unscrupulous people to eliminate some of them.

“But for God I would have been killed with the very many attempts and attacks made on my life”, he said.

Threats have been made against those of us who fought to get this matter this far and therefore, we need the support of the security to put things rights. He told THE SUN how he, together with one of the parents of the 12 victims, were almost nearly killed by assailants.

Insiders have also informed THE SUN that as part of his delay tactics, pastor Agyeman was nowhere near the court premise when the case was called for hearing last Wednesday. The Tribunal chairman then ordered his arrest with the bench warrant.

A parent of one of the victims told THE SUN that because of the case, they have had to leave their work in Abidjan-Ivory Coast to relocate in Ghana to see to its logical conclusion.

He therefore appealed to the authorities to help speed up the case to help the kids go back to the classroom on time.
