Buduburam: Clear refugees and give u back our land – Family to government

Family members of Nana Kobina Ekwam, founder of Sompa Church and affectionately known as Ekwam, have petitioned the government to return the late prophet’s property to them.

Doris Owusu Afriyie, one of his granddaughters, narrated their ordeal, saying a banter between Prophet Ekwam and one J. Boadi, a military officer, led to his arrest in the early 1990s.

At the time, the military officer sought healing from the prophet. J. Boadi continued to pitch camp with the prophet’s family as a church member after being healed of his illness. Nana Ekwam and his brother were arrested as a result. Liberian refugees had been brought to the area without his knowledge before they were released from custody.
