A mother of five, identified as Akosua Osaa, from Techiman in the Bono East Region, has accused Pastor Kofi Owusu of the 12 Apostles Church in Techiman of being responsible for what she describes as long-standing spiritual and emotional problems in her life, allegedly stemming from a sexual encounter with him 20 years ago.
Speaking during “Confession Time” on Sompa Nkomo, a programme aired on Sompa TV and hosted by popular Ghanaian media personality Genevieve Abrefa Yeboah, popularly known as Oheneni Adazoa, Akosua narrated her ordeal in detail.
According to her, her late mother was a traditionalist who later repented and joined the 12 Apostles Church, through which she (Akosua) also became a member.
“My mother introduced me to the church after she converted and I used to fellowship there regularly,” she said.

Akosua explained that she fell ill at the time and sought spiritual help from Pastor Owusu, who allegedly placed her on treatment. However, she claimed that during a church programme, the pastor instructed her to come to his house for the continuation of the treatment.
“He told me that once the church programme started, he wouldn’t be able to help me unless I came to his house because we were having a three days programme,” she stated.
She alleged that while at the pastor’s residence, he told her that the only way to cleanse her of her spiritual problems was to sleep with him.
“He said having sex with him was the only way to remove the spiritual problems affecting my life,” Akosua alleged.
She stressed that although there was no physical force, she agreed to the act.
At the time of the alleged incident, Akosua said she already had two children, while the pastor was also facing marital challenges. She further claimed that the pastor warned her not to disclose the incident to anyone.
According to Akosua, her life has never been the same since then.
“Anytime I have an affair with a man, I see the face of the pastor during the act,” she claimed.
She said this experience has caused her to abandon several relationships, leaving her with three additional children, all without a husband.
“Because I always see his face, I end the relationship. That is why I now have five children with no husband,” she said.
Akosua also claimed that her financial life has deteriorated significantly, saying she is constantly in debt despite being engaged in trading.
She revealed that she later travelled to Techiman to confront Pastor Owusu about the situation.
“I went to him and explained everything I was going through and he promised to help me but anytime I call him now, he doesn’t pick up. That is why I decided to come on this programme,” she explained.
Akosua is now publicly appealing for spiritual deliverance and compensation, insisting that the alleged encounter has ruined her life.
“I need deliverance, and I also want compensation from him for what I am going through.”
