A Senior Pastor of Graceland Sanctuary, Major Wisdom Nutsugah, and two junior pastors have been arrested over alleged ritual activities at Buduburam in the Gomoa East District of the Central Region.
The Senior Pastor, Major Wisdom Nutsugah, along with his two junior pastors, allegedly kidnapped six okada riders from Buduburam after inviting the victims to his residence for a meeting.
According to available details, the pastor had purchased motorbikes for the riders and accused them of poor sales, prompting the meeting invitation.
However, the victims claim that upon arrival, they were locked in a dark room, threatened, and forced to undress.
The pastor allegedly directed one of the junior pastors to retrieve a strange pot containing toffees from a secret room.
The victims state that they were forced to consume the toffees. They further allege that the pastor threatened harm against anyone who disobeyed his orders.
One of the victims managed to escape and alerted the police, who rescued the remaining victims and arrested the pastor and the two junior pastors.
They are currently in police custody at the Kasoa Divisional Police Command.
Meanwhile, Emmanuel Dogbe, Assembly Member for the Buduburam Electoral Area, has condemned the incident and urged the police to conduct a thorough investigation and take appropriate action if the suspect is found guilty.
