Gospel musician Diana Asamoah has revealed that a junior pastor has been arrested for allegedly stealing over GHC30,000 from her bank account. This incident follows the arrest of her assistant pastor last month for stealing GHC4,000 from her mobile wallet.
Speaking on her evangelism programme on Angel FM, Asamoah recounted how she discovered the theft during a routine bank transaction. She revealed that an associate pastor, referred to as Apostle, had accessed her bank account and used the funds for sports betting and extravagant online purchases, including shopping on Amazon.
“Because the money was not his, he was placing bets in the thousands,” she explained. A detailed analysis of her account showed digital expenditures totaling GHC31,000 on betting, Amazon, and other online transactions. “He was on a spending spree because he hadn’t earned the money,” she added. The suspect, known as Apostle, is currently in police custody.
From Trust to Theft: Previous Incident with Another Pastor
In April, Asamoah had another junior pastor arrested for stealing GHC4,000 from her mobile wallet. “He translates my sermons into English and reads the Bible for me. He speaks in tongues and sometimes leads in my absence. He has begged for forgiveness before, and I have pardoned him,” she said about the earlier offender.
Digital Advances and Divine Intervention: Catching the Thieves
Asamoah credited the ease of uncovering the theft to digital advancements led by NPP flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and the Holy Spirit. “Thanks to the Holy Spirit and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s digitalisation efforts, everything is simpler. He admitted to seeing my secret code during a transaction and transferred GHC4,000, intending to spend it on personal pleasures,” she stated in April.
