According to the report by TV3 GH today, a popular pastor in the Akropong Constituency, Eastern Region of Ghana, was caught by members of his own church in a compromising situation with a female worshipper.
The incident, which has sent ripples through the local community, occurred at the church’s guest house, located on the church premises.
According to reports, the pastor, who has been leading the church for over a decade, was found in a guest room with the female congregant late in the evening.
The situation unfolded when a few church members decided to visit the guest house to speak with the pastor about an upcoming event.
Upon knocking and receiving no response, they decided to enter. To their surprise, they found the pastor and the woman in a private setting.
“He was caught in the room with the lady, and when we asked what was going on, he couldn’t explain himself,” one of the church members, who preferred to remain anonymous, said in an interview.
“This is not the kind of behaviour we expect from a leader of the church. It’s a sad day for us.”
The church, which had been known for its strong emphasis on moral values and integrity, is now facing intense scrutiny from both its members and the public.
Many are questioning the pastor’s leadership and the overall integrity of the church’s teachings.
“How could someone who preaches about holiness and righteousness be involved in such a scandal?” another member of the congregation said.
“We trusted him, but this is a betrayal.”
In the aftermath of the incident, the pastor has remained silent, avoiding direct comments on the situation.
However, it is believed that he has been asked to step down from his position temporarily as the church leadership investigates the matter.
Local authorities have not been involved yet, as the incident is currently being handled by the church’s internal body.
Still, some members of the community are calling for a thorough investigation and for the pastor to be held accountable for his actions.
“People look up to pastors for guidance,” one concerned local said.
“This has shaken the faith of many of us.”
