Founder and Head Pastor of a Charismatic Church, God Host Favor Chapel who as well serves as the CEO of Israel Yesu Agyeme Herbal Centre, Rev. Israel Joseph Eshun has been arrested for burying his two-year-old deceased son in his uncompleted church room at Mankessim Estate in the Mfantseman Municipality in the Central Region.
According to Sompa TV’s Eric Annan, the deceased was battling cancer and had been declared not to survive the sickness by the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital due to the extent of damage it has caused in the boy’s system upon days of admission at the hospital.
In view of this, the two-year-old boy was discharged by the hospital, but sadly passed away on the way home with the father.
Devastated over the occurrence, the pastor upon arrival took the body of his deceased son to his church which is under-construction and buried him in a room at the worship centre without the knowledge of anyone including his pregnant wife.
The wife having delayed a while at the hospital to meet up with the doctor in charge of their late son’s treatment got home to ask of the boy from the husband, only for him to lead her to the place he buried their son.
Christiana McCarthy, known as Maame Ama, wife to the pastor in an interview narrated her ordeal in the hands of her husband.
According to her, despite the fact that she is 8-months 3-weeks pregnant, her husband is fond of beating her most times. Thus, the reason for reporting him which led to the revelation on the burial of their late son.
The pastor is currently with the Jedu Divisional Police Command in Mankessim, assisting the police with investigation after his arrest on Tuesday, June 3.
