Founder of Action Chapel International, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, has revealed how he, together with Robert Ampiah Coffie and a few of his friends, suffered for praying during the revolution period.
The renowned preacher explained that in the heat of the revolution, he went to the “mountains” with Robert Ampiah Coffie and other friends to pray, but their prayers resulted in their detention as they were tagged as enemies of the revolution.
A short video of one of his sermons currently circulating on social media platforms captured Archbishop Duncan-Williams recounting how his arrest and detention without any apparent reason came about.

Narrating how he was arrested, he stated, “I remember during the revolution, myself, Robert Ampia, Kofi and a few of my friends, we went to pray at Aburi Gardens.”
He said, “While we were there, I was feeling this agitation in my spirit. I didn’t understand it. Suddenly, I heard POW! POW! And two bullets came through my shoulders and fell before me on the ground.”
According to him, the next thing that followed was that they were surrounded by soldiers who ordered them to lie down, adding that the soldiers arrested and sent them to the Aburi police station, where they were locked for days.
He mentioned that the soldiers who asked the police to detain him and his friends until they returned did not return, but the police refused to let them go.
“One day, I said to Robert, Robby, you know what is happening to us? It’s not the soldiers. This is a demonic arrest; we’ve been arrested by demons, and we’ve been locked in here by demons spiritually.”
Following this deep conviction, he encouraged his colleagues to seek divine intervention through prayers for their freedom, and they agreed, joining him in prayers for four hours to seek God’s intervention.
After their strong intercession prayers for four hours, he said, “There was a lieutenant- I’ve forgotten his name who was going to the mountains there somewhere, he’s from that area.”
“So he stopped by Aburi police station, asked the police, Is everything OK? They said, yeah, everything is OK, but it’s just that there is one Duncan-Williams here, a pastor,” he added.
According to Duncan-Williams, the lieutenant whose name he could not recollect, ordered the police to release him and his colleagues immediately with a message that “when the soldiers come, tell them I ordered their discharge.”
He emphasised that their prayers to God brought them an intervention through the lieutenant who ordered the police to set them free.
He, therefore, encouraged members of his church always to use prayers to break barriers in their lives.
