The Ghana Police Service has arrested Prophet William Gyimah, General Overseer of Elohim International Ministry, for allegedly issuing death threats against Vice President Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang in a viral video.
In a statement, the Police said the arrest was carried out by the Inspector-General of Police’s Cyber Vetting and Enforcement Team (CVET) following the circulation of the video on TikTok and other social media platforms.
The 49-year-old suspect was picked up on Tuesday, April 7, 2026, during a targeted operation at Kasoa in the Central Region.
The Police explained that the arrest was the result of proactive monitoring of online platforms, which led to the interception of what was described as a high-priority video containing the alleged threat.
Prophet Gyimah has been handed over to the Special Investigations Unit (SIU) of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) to assist with further investigations.
The Police Administration cautioned the public and media organisations against using their platforms to spread content that could threaten national peace and security, adding that updates will be provided as investigations continue.
