Founder and leader of the Believers Worship Centre, Stephen Adom Kyei-Dua, also known as “Second Chance” or “Philadelphia,” has warned he will retaliate against those he claims are targeting him and his ministry, following what he describes as an “outrageous” GH¢500,000 (5 billion old cedis) electricity bill from the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).
‘Why would the nation attack me like this?’ – Adom Kyei-Dua clashes with ECG
Speaking to his congregation on Sunday, August 31, 2025, Adom Kyei-Dua declared that persistent provocations from ECG officials and unnamed “attackers” would force him to “show the colour of his inside,” likening himself to a snake that bites in self-defence.
“I am sending caution to my attackers, please be careful because the snake bites when frustrated, if you don’t take care, I will show you the colour of my inside if this provocation continues.”
The preacher alleged that ECG has deliberately targeted him and the Philadelphia Movement, recounting how a field officer stormed his premises on Wednesday, August 27, 2025, demanding that GH¢200,000 of the bill be paid within an hour or risk power disconnection.
“This man came here very angry, giving us a one-hour ultimatum. He even mocked us, asking how GH¢500,000 compares to the money we share in church,” Kyei-Dua said.
Despite the officer’s threats, the preacher said his church premises continued to have power after the disconnection because they were powered by a large solar system.
He alleged that his solar installation was inadvertently supplying electricity to other homes in Pokuase Katapor Estate in Accra, leading to inflated ECG bills.
The preacher further accused ECG of plotting to disrupt his Friday and Sunday services by cutting the power supply.
“Unknown to them, they had planned to ambush me. They thought disconnecting the light would disrupt my services, but they failed. From Wednesday till now, we have had no power problem because of my solar system,” he said.
“After eight months, you bring me a bill of 5 billion old cedis? Why should this country set its eyes on me? Am I a bad citizen? Even in Nigeria, where I was a foreign national, I was given recognition,” he lamented.
“I am for peace, but when the volume of water rises above the frog, it croaks,” he declared, drawing applause from his congregation.
