The Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit of the police service has taken over investigations into an alleged sexual abuse case against the head pastor of the Abokobi branch of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Reverend Kingsford Kusi-Kyere.
The church said yesterday it would investigate claims by seven male members of the church that they were sexually abused by the pastor.
Dr. Emmanuel Osei Acheampong, the Public Relations Manager of the Presbyterian Church, confirmed to Joy News that the issue has been reported to the authorities of the church.
“As part of our disciplinary structures, we have asked a committee to look into the matter and report to the church for the appropriate action to be taken. For now we will treat it as a story but we will investigate it and inform the public accordingly.”
Meanwhile, Deputy Greater Accra coordinator of DOVVSU, DSP Eunice Ida Odonkor told Joy News her outfit has so far interviewed three persons who claimed they were victims of the abuse.
According to the victims, she said, the pastor pulled their manhood till they ejaculated and then cleaned the sperm with his handkerchief.
“He is also denying the allegations leveled against him,” DSP Eunice Odonkor said.
While investigations begin, some residents of Abokobi where the man of God lives are casting doubts over the matter.
