Prophet Akwasi Agyeman Prempeh, the General Overseer of the Ultimate Charismatic Center, recently gained attention for his humanity towards an elderly man who was captured in a viral video, sobbing over an unpaid debt.

The prophet, whose attention was drawn to this video, went in search of the man, eventually settling the debt the man owed in full.

According to details shared online, the elderly man, Kofi Mensah, from the Volta Region, was crying because he had taken money from Quick Credit, a loan facility, but was unable to repay it.

In the viral video, Mensah was seen profusely crying and begging people to give him enough time to settle the debt.

“I, Kofi Mensah, cannot say I won't pay. The money is not for my mother nor father; it is help that you gave me. It is just a problem that I am currently facing, that’s why I’ve not been able to pay. I can never do that. Master, I beg you, I will pay the money. I will never run away; if I’d run, I’d have done so a long while ago. I beg you, I will pay the money. If I won’t pay, I’d have committed suicide long ago. I don’t want it that way, that’s why. Money is money, it is today that I don’t have,” Kofi Mensah tearfully said.

Following this, the video was widely circulated, with some social media users tagging Nana Tea, a social media influencer and philanthropist, to come to the man's aid.

Upon seeing the video, Nana Tea decided to inform Prophet Akwasi Agyeman Prempeh about it and to solicit help from him.

Following that, Prophet Agyeman Prempeh got in touch with the man and eventually settled the total amount of GH¢11,000.

In a post to update the public, Nana Tea took to his Facebook page to update and announce the gesture of the man of God.

Nana Tea wrote, "Akosombo... Prophet Prempeh has cleared the loan with an amount of GH¢11,000. Update on the gentleman who owed the loan and was driven in a car from Kpong to Kpeve.

"After I showed the video to my papa Prophet Akwasi Agyeman Prempeh, he requested details of the loan he was owing. It came out that he was owing an amount of GH¢11,000. Prophet Prempeh has sent me the money, and I went to Akosombo to offset the loan so he can be a free man.

"God bless you, Papa," his post said.
