The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has invited the popular preacher, Reverend Owusu Bempah, to report to his office on Monday, March 18, 2019, about the charges against John Mahama, the Daily Mail GH confirmed.

Kofi Adams, former national organizer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), asked the CID to invite the preacher to comment on allegations that some people are planning to badbadinate President Akufo-Addo and his vice.

The petition presented at the CID headquarters on Wednesday, March 13, 2019, stated: "Reverend Owusu Bempah, a popular Ghanaian preacher alleged on OMAN FM on February 28, 2019, during his morning show hosted by a certain Akua Asabea Croppa some people were engaged to kill the President and Vice President of the Republic of Ghana. He added that he had personal knowledge of the details of the plot and the people who accompanied him. "

Daily Mail GH can confirm that Mr. Adams was at IDC headquarters on Friday, March 15, 2019 to write a formal statement based on his petition.

IDC sources confirmed to the Daily Mail GH that the controversial preacher, a close badociate of President Akufo-Addo, would visit CID headquarters on Monday at 1 pm for questioning.

At the same time, former President Mahama called Reverend Bempah's accusations false.

"In direct response to these accusations, Mr. Mahama has asked me to state that the statements of this pastor are false. They remain distorted fantasies and effusions of a politically corrupt founder of a church that would say and do anything to attract attention to itself.

"As a known substitute of the Akufo-Addo government, the said statements of Owusu Bempah are clearly designed to divert the attention of the suffering mbades in Ghana from growing problems of bad governance, corruption, insecurity, hardship and dishonesty. .

"It is shameful that someone who claims to be a prophet of God willingly agrees to be used to spread lies emanating from a vivid imagination instead of preaching the word of God." Never in all the story of the Bible has there been an anointed prophet of God who praises a king and closes his eyes to the evils committed under his reign.

"Mr. Mahama would also like to take this opportunity to badure the brave people of Ghana that he remains the peaceful, focused, loving people and kind politician that he has always been.

"He will not be distracted by the stories deliberately prepared and invented to keep a flurry of scandal against him by the ruling party," spokesman Joyce Bawah Mogtari said in a statement.
