The General Over­seer of Open Arms Ministries, Apostle Kofi Nkansah-Sarkodie has officially lodged a complaint with the Nation­al Media Commission (NMC) against OTEC Fm, Kumasi-based radio sta­tion over the conduct of the station's management.

A petition dated Octo­ber 1, 2014 and filed at the Kumasi office of the NMC, Apostle Nkansah-Sarkodie said the station cancel his evangelism programme, dubbed 'Bra Ma Yenko Heaven despite a contrac­tual agreement between the parties for him to broadcast.

According to him, he had broadcast his pro­gramme which airs every Sunday from 1:30pm to 2:00pm to many listeners in Kumasi and its environs for the past three years.

The man of God stated that on June 29,2014 he received a letter from man­agement of OTEC signed by one Kate Freeman Adomako, Head of Pro­grammes that he (pastor) had been banned from using the station's network to preach against the Jeho­vah Witness.

He explained that in May this year, he started a six-week programme on the Jehovah Witness sect.

Apostle Nkansah- Sarkodie indicated that in one of his teachings he pointed out that members of JW sect do not believe in the core doctrines of Chris­tianity.

He further stated that Jehovah Witnesses do not also believe in the teach­ings of Jesus Christ and that JW was founded by one Charles Russel, who rewrote the Bible to suit his desire.

The petitioner said he raised concern about the activities of JW which he said was banned in Ghana in the tenure of the Provi­sional National Defense Council (PNDC).

The petitioner called on, the NMC to intervene in the matter to stop the arbi­trariness of the radio sta­tion.

He said there had not been any complaint • against him by any mem­ber of Jehovah Witness to warrant such an action.
