A pastor in Koforidua is on bail after appearing in court on a charge of assault.
Emmanuel Obeng, a Pastor of the Way to Christ Ministries, is alleged to have assault two women who both claim to be his girlfriends.
Briefing the Ghana News Agency, Deputy Superintendent of Police, Eunice Annor, said a complaint was filed against Pastor Obeng of the Way to Christ Ministries by two members of his congregation named as Frederica Opeibea, 23 and Patricia Bampo, 24, both of Abiriw.
He is alleged to have proposed marriage to the two ladies and had already gone to seek their hands in marriage from both families. DSP Annor said both complainants upon realizing that they were rivals started confronting each other, sending signals to other church members that they were fighting over the pastor.
According to the complainants, someone revealed to them that they were fighting over a married man whose wife was living at Asamankese. So when they realized that they had been deceived, they decided to go and pick their belongings from the pastor’s house.
When the complainants went for their belongings, the accused, allegedly beat up Frederica Opeibea with a belt and twisted the arm of Patricia Bampoe for allegedly taking his car key.
The case was therefore reported to the Eastern Regional Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit of the Ghana Police Service in Koforidua.
DSP Annor said the complainants had been sent to the hospital and were yet to present their medical report for further actions to be taken on the case.
