Gospel musician Kofi Owusu Peprah has revealed that he had to resign from his role at Ghana’s Bureau of National Investigations (BNI), now the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB), due to a conflict between his job and his passion for music.

Speaking on Hitz FM’s Hitz Praise Zone with Nii Noi, the Yesu Nyame Ba hitmaker said the decision to leave the intelligence agency came after he received a formal query from his superiors while granting a live interview on the same station.

“I have left the BNI for about four years. It is in the studio that I received my query letter. Yes, in this house. I came for an interview. It’s a broken record but this is the first time I am being explicit about it,” he stated.

He explained that the ethics of the Bureau did not allow officers to publicly engage in music or related activities.

“I was given the opportunity to resign or quit everything relating to music, pull down all my YouTube stuff, you know. Those are the ethics: so I am saying this so that if you are in it and you wanna do music you know what you are getting yourself into,” he added.

Kofi Owusu Peprah, known for songs such as Big God, Matwen, and Amen, has steadily built a name for himself in Ghana’s gospel music scene. His sound blends contemporary worship with traditional highlife elements, drawing audiences across different generations.

He is currently preparing for a major gospel concert scheduled for 17th August 2025 at Cedar Mountain Chapel in Accra.

The event is expected to feature live ministrations, guest performances, and a celebration of his musical journey so far.
