Prophecy lands man of God in trouble

A prophecy by a self-styled pastor of the Faith of Zion Church at Tafo, a suburb of Kumasi, has landed him in the grip of the police. Prophet Gabriel Osei Yaw had prophesied to one Paul Owusu Badu, a mechanic that his Pontiac Vibe would get lost within a week unless he, Badu, prayed to avert the misfortune.

However, Badu did not take the prophecy serious and disregarded the warning from his spiritual friend.

And true to his words, the prophesy came to pass when thieves stole the Pontiac Vibe taxicab from its driver on November 8, 2014.

When the car owner approached the prophet for assistance, he again gave numerous assurances that he would help him retrieve his stolen car.

However, after several unfulfilled promises, Mr Badu caused the arrest of Prophet Osei.

An accomplice of the Prophet, Ms Priscilla Kumi, a waitress at a popular spot at Krofom, was alleged to have laced the drink of the driver, which rendered him unconscious for three days.<
