Former UT Bank boss and founder, Captain (Rtd) Prince Kofi Amoabeng, says fear has never shaped his life, even at the height of his legal troubles.

Speaking on Joy News’ AM Show on Monday, Mr Amoabeng said his upbringing and faith have given him a deep sense of calm and courage.

“Because of the values that were instilled in me, I don’t fear any human being,” he said. “I don’t. But on the other side, I respect everybody.”

His comments come years after the collapse of UT Bank and the legal battles that followed. Mr Amoabeng has consistently described the period as one of intense personal testing, marked by public scrutiny, financial loss and court processes that reshaped his life.

Despite the ordeal, he said he remains physically and emotionally strong.

“I eat well, I sleep well, and I prayed to God and said, let me see the end of this,” he said. “And I surely will see the end of it, because I have a lot of life in me.”

Asked what the end of the case would mean to him, Mr Amoabeng played down any sense of triumph.

“Oh, really, it’s part of my journey,” he said. “And for them, I wouldn’t even celebrate it.”

He rejected the idea that closure would be a moment for public vindication.

“No, I don’t think I was celebrated,” he said. “I just say that's fine. This is how God kept me in check and for me to serve the purpose that I have to serve.”

For him, faith has been central to enduring the experience.

“You see, when you believe in God, things become easier,” he said.

When the host asked whether he had always held such strong beliefs, Mr Amoabeng said his faith was deeply rooted but that he had never felt compelled to advertise it.

“Incidentally, yes, but I don’t put it out,” he said. “I don’t owe anybody to tell you I believe in God or not.”

He recalled how public perceptions of him were often shaped by isolated comments, especially around religion.

“And therefore, sometimes I make a statement as they want,” he said. “They say, ‘Oh, that guy doesn’t even believe in God’.”

He referred to past criticism over remarks about tithing. “And this, and I know at some point in time, they said, I don’t believe in God, because I said something about tithe,” he said.

Mr Amoabeng traced his values back to childhood. “Listen, I was raised by my grandmother,” he said. “And at age four, five, I’ll go to church, Presbyterian Church, and sing.”

He said those early years shaped his moral foundation. “She gave me the fundamentals of the values that I have,” he said.

He also spoke about the influence of his parents. “And I was raised by parents who were really like my father was my best friend,” he said.

According to him, those experiences explain his outlook today. “And because of the values that were instilled in me, I don’t fear any human being,” he repeated.
