The leadership of the Church of Pentecost Ghana has called for the leaked audio recording of one of its elders, Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo.
Mr. Ofosu-Ampofo, a National Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has had his reputation as a servant of God come into question after a two-hour explosive audio recording emerged on Tuesday, in which he is heard calling on members of his party to assassinate political opponents of the NDC and carry out kidnappings apparently to create the impression that Ghana is not safe.
Even though the NDC is seeking to suggest that the tape is a doctored one, the Pentecost Church appears strongly concerned about its reputation and is, therefore, demanding the tape to enable it to authenticate if it is true or not.
In a swift response today, the National Communications Officer of the NDC, Sammy Gyamfi, while admitting the voice ‘sounds like’ that of the NDC’s National Chairman, Mr. Ofosu-Ampofo.
He, however, observed that they are doctored tapes designed as diversionary tactic to provide the government with a reprieve from the content of a documentary on illegal mining [galamsey] by investigative Journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, which puts the government in bad light.
“The tape is doctored, treat it with the contempt it deserves, it has all the trappings of diversions from the illegal mining investigations by Anas,” he told Daniel Dadzie Wednesday on the SMS.
In a twist of events, his deputy, Kweku Boahen, told Adom FM that the voice was Mr. Ofosu-Ampofo’s and that the contents of the recordings reflect what transpired at the party’s meeting.
The move to authenticate the tape, according to the church, is to enable leadership take a decision on the status of Mr. Ofosu-Ampofo as elder and whether he should still be allowed to preach in the church.
In the two- hour tape, Mr. Ofosu-Ampofo was also heard calling for what he described as a “relentless” war against the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Jean Mensa.
The revelation comes at a time Ghana is battling with the menace of kidnappings with several school girls already kidnapped in Western Region.

Well this move is good but since THE FAKE PENTECOST ELDER Ofosu Ampofo has been charged by the Police CID the Church MUST write to him to stand aside until the tape will even be called to authenticate. Church of Pentecost let's see you doing the right quickly. Ofosu Ampofo kyereponni is FAKE ELDER
Kudos Chairman, The call for the tape ins in the right direction. In order to auenticate the truyth or otherwise of the tape, call for the tape of the interview Kwaku Boahen, a deputy communications director of the opposition NDC to comare and contrast that of OFOSU AMPOFO. The church should also be wary of appointing politicians into leadership roles. Politicians are kriminals whose insincerity is loud and clear. There are some more who are presiding elders.
