Some assailants in the Volta Region have planned to assassinate the flag bearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, when he visits the region to campaign ahead of this year’s elections, Rev Isaac Owusu Bempah, General Overseer of the Glorious Word Power Ministry International, has said.

His revelation follows an invitation extended to him by the Ghana Police Service for a similar prophecy he made that some politicians were planning to kill Mr Akufo-Addo in order to give his opponents a smooth run in the December 7 polls.

Speaking in an interview with Chief Jerry Forson, host of Ghana Yensom on Accra100.5FM, Rev Bempah said: “I have given several prophecies in the past that have come to pass. I prophesied that there was going to be a plane crash in Ghana, it came to pass. I prophesied that if care was not taken, we would lose our president (President Mills), it came to pass. I prophesied that Nana Akufo-Addo was going to be stoned at a campaign rally, it came to pass. God has revealed to me that some people are plotting to kill Nana Akufo-Addo. They are planning several ways of doing that. They have planned it in the Volta Region and so whenever he (Akufo-Addo) visits the region, they will want to kill him.”

He added: “These are matters that must be dealt with spiritually not physically and, so, I don’t know why they (the police) have invited me. They came to my church this week, but did not meet me and, so, they took my lawyer’s contact from my junior pastors. The lawyer told them he had travelled and so when he returned he would come to the police station with me.”

Rev Bempah added: “I stand by the prophecy that some people are plotting to kill Mr Akufo-Addo, he must beef up his security.”
