A communion server of the Church of Christ at Ash Town-Kumasi, Emmanuel Owusu-Ansah, has been accused by a member of the church of allegedly impregnating her.
A 26-year-old lady, only identified as Hannah, alleged further that the communion server had denied being responsible for the pregnancy and also refused to support her upkeep.
She, therefore, dragged Owusu-Ansah to the “Oyerepa afutuo” current affairs programme on Oyerepa FM in Kumasi, demanding that the server be made to rent a decent accommodation for her and her unborn child.
Giving details of how the communion server allegedly lured her into a day of sexual intercourse that got her pregnant, she said, she previously fellowshipped with the Church of Christ congregation at Ashanti New Town, where the accused was a communion server.
She explained that she later left the area for Ejisu Adadea Ntem following the demise of her grandmother, adding that she one day came across Owusu-Ansah on Facebook and quickly connected to him with a message because she knew him.
According to her, Owusu-Ansah gave her his contact number and requested that she send him some pictures through WhatsApp, which she obliged. Afterwards, he arranged for her to visit him after they had discussed what he wanted them to do with her on the phone.
“When I got there, he came with his friend to pick me up to his room, but immediately we entered the room, his friend left, leaving the two of us. He walked up to me and demanded that we do it fast because he had to attend his father’s funeral.
I gave in to his demand and we had sex, so when I got home, I told him that now we’re in a relationship, as long as he had sex with me, but this angered him, as he told me he wasn’t in any relationship with me,” She narrated.
According to Hannah, who claimed to be 8 months pregnant, Owusu-Ansah gave her GH¢100 to go home after having a sexual affair with her.

She added, “The one act of sex I did with Owusu-Ansah got me pregnant, but all efforts to get him to accept his responsibilities have failed as he has categorically denied ever having sex with me.”
When Owusu-Ansah was called into the programme on the phone, he admitted that he had invited the lady into his house after she had told him a story about her situation and what she was going through, and he only wanted to assist her.
He again admitted that he had some chats with her on the phone that may suggest they were dating because some of the things they discussed were highly sensitive.
However, he emphatically denied the allegation that he had sex with the lady when she visited him and therefore, could be responsible for her pregnancy.
“We have met and discussed the issue with our families involved. I told her father that I want us to have an agreement on paper that a DNA test will be done when she delivers.

“If the result proves that I am indeed responsible, I will pay for all her expenses throughout the pregnancy, but if it turns out that I am not, I will demand damages from them. Her father said he could not stand surety for her because he does not trust her,” Owusu-Ansah stated.
The host, Aunty Naa, advised that Owusu-Ansah must take care of the lady until she delivers and then undergo a DNA test to prove his case.
