He was arrested and subsequently put before court and jailed 10 years.<\/p>\n

This development has raised issues of about\u00a0the President’s in his own church.<\/p>\n

In\u00a0an interview with Citi News<\/strong>, the\u00a0Public Relations Officer the Church, Deacon Boateng Sarpong indicated, \u201cthe issue is being handled by the national security, and I know they were here yesterday. We have left them to handle this situation.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that the church board is brainstorming and will soon come out with modalities that will ensure total security of all members when they come to church.<\/p>\n

Deacon Boateng Sarpong was also of the view that it was the Holy Spirit that arrested Charles Antwi. \u201cOn that day the pastor was preaching about total repentance. I believe perhaps he heard the message and repented. For me zeroing it down, I know it was the Holy Spirit who arrested him, but because we work in the physical realm we have to put in place measures to ensure total security for our members.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some of the church members who spoke to Citi News also said they are not scared and still feel safe because according to them, “God protects them.”<\/p>\n
