A playboy man of the gospel, who colluded with his teenage girlfriend and one other person to deprive a Kumasi based businessman of an amount of ?110 million, has found himself in the jaws of the law.

The man-of-god, one Emmanuel Amoako, 26, is a pastor at the Grace International Church in Kumsi. He is also the boyfriend of Akosua Kosi, 19, a house-help of the Kumasi based businessman.

The pastor is said to have plotted with one other person by name, Kofi Asamoah, a friend of his, to steal the amount of ?110 million from the bank account of Kosi's master, Mr Kofi Takyi.

They pleaded guilty to the charged and were convicted on their own pleas by Justice Ernest Obimpeh a Kumsi Circuit Count Judge.

They would however be formally sentenced on August 1, 2001, according to the Judge.

Akosua who is a house-help (maidservant) stole the money from the bank account of her master, Mr Kofi Takyi, Director of Tabek Company Ltd., dealers in iron rods and allegedly gave it to her boyfriend, Pastor Amoako for safe-keeping .

But luck eluded Akosua and her pastor boyfriend when after a detection of the theft, the owner, Mr Takyi reported the matter to the police which led to the arrest of the pastor, the maidservant and one other person, who is a friend of the pastor.

They however pleaded guilty to the charge of stealing and dishonestly receiving and were subsequently convicted on their own pleas by Justice Obimpeh.
