The man of God affectionately called Prophet Kumchacha speaking to Doctar Cann on Aryekoo After Drive on Happy FM said ‘I have seen the video circulating and the said priest needs deliverance, he is a wizard and immature priest. He is part of the reason why most Ghanaians talk negatively about pastors and Christianity. People like that are one of the reasons Christianity is facing challenges in Ghana now.”
Reverend Father Balthazar Obeng Larbi has been relieved of his duties as chaplain for the school.
“The church has directed that he should be relieved of all his clerical and pastoral services to the school while the investigation is ongoing,” the acting Principal of St Monica’s College of Education, Dr Okyere Korankye, told journalists in the Ashanti Region.
