Head Pastor of the Glorious Word Power Ministries International, Reverend Isaac Owusu Bempah has been hospitalised at the Police Hospital in Accra, a few hours after he and four others were denied bail and remanded for a week by a Circuit Court in Accra.
A source at the Police Hospital confirmed the latest development.
Rev. Owusu Bempah was charged with offensive conduct conducive to breach of peace, the threat of death, and assault of police officers.
He and 4 others were remanded into police custody to reappear on Monday, September 20, 2021, after they spent a day in cells.
The Judge, Afia Owusuaa Appiah, said this would allow the Police more time to carry out further investigation. Earlier in court, there was drama when Reverend Isaac Owusu Bempah arrived for the hearing.
Some of his church members who accompanied him tried to stop journalists from filming his arrival.
Raining insults and jostling, they tried to disperse the media outside the court. They also tried to stop the media from entering the courtroom, which sparked a confrontation. Police Officers at the premises subsequently denied journalists access into the courtroom.
