What has his arrest get to do with Church of Pentecost?
Still galamsey is horribly bad. And the Church and well meaning Ghanaians will continue to speak against it, whether Church of Pentecost elder or 'Roman'' sofo or Assemblies sofo is involved. Jandam journalism for Ghana.
OYIIWA.... THE WOMAN SAID IT....!!!!!
So the people complaining about lack of places for baptism are the polluting the rivers? No wonder the bible says "we should remove the planks/timbers on your eyes before removing the specks from others "
Where is it stated in the report that he is an elder of the Pentecost church? Please furnish us with further and better particulars before we roast the Pentecost church for their hypocrisy. If not, this report will be seen as ...

It is my conviction that the continuing galamsey menace is a clear failure of our political leadership in whom real power rests, especially financial and coercive powers. If this power were being exercised genuinely in the fi ...

@Folk it is not that simple, but the good thing is that the current government is on the war path to fighting this canker. We did not see this fight under the Nana Addo NPP government.
All hands on deck
Look at a foolish and idiotic foolish fool
Rubbish. What does the church he attends or the position he holds in the church got to do with anything. Over 90% of those doing galamsey are church goers anyway. From today, GhanaWeb, make sure you provide the denomination o ...

Leave the Church alone
the woman said what?
fish out your stupid ndc executives who are destroying the land
Even in Bethelhem, Israel we have Thieves ,rapists, prostitutes etc What's strange if a member of COP who is a Ghanaian being a Galamseyer?
Hmmmm @Kay, wo y3 aboa kramaii bi paaaaaaaaa oo! H333rrrhh, wo maame abor ka wae! Kwasia gyimifuor ba, how old is your brain.
You are the fool here . You don’t know how to read and understand . Aboa bi ba
Then the head of the church should FIRST PREACH to his congregation before address his concerns in public.
Mawutor, ask the idiot writer. Shameless journaliste
Exactly, Is he the only person who have been arrested so far with a religious faith. Some of these headlines are not helpful.
He disobeyed his Apostle
Where is the stupid priest?
Was he employed by COP? Does the Priest control the jobs the members do for a living? Galamsey is bad, whether COP or Catholic or Assemblies of God Church member is involved.
Do not be a hypocrite !!
After the head of COP went public and blame govt for unclean after for baptism, I would expect you to condemn that man, but rather attempting to scratch surfaces to downplay the crime.
May God forgive you
Who should respond to a mad person. Fool.
Was the man employed by the church to do this job?
I can not get the meaning of this article?
thank you. unnecessary propaganda saaa
Please ask them again.
Don’t mind them why did they bring in COP?
They are afraid of the church
Just because the chairman of Church of Pentecost spoke against galamsey , you describe this criminal by his church. Have you ever described or identified other galamsey operators you arrested by their place of worship ??? N ...

That’s not tru, it’s a set up.!! For my observation, I have never seen a galamsey operator with clean cloth on site. They just gave him 1GHC just to cover what that minister said. Liars.
You are such a fuckkng fool, @Poo!
When a DCE does galamsey, they will say a government appointee. We hear if carpenters. Masons and other professionals involved in comes. There is nothing wrong adressing people with the office they hold. He's still a church o ...

Who controls the resources of Ghana? Galamsey is bad, whether COP or Catholic or Assemblies of God Church member is involved.
Who's saying that galamsey is good? Tell the pastors to be impartial when talking about galamsey. They should say the same things across different governments. They should pray for one and blame the other. That's gross hypocr ...

My God, Mawutor, why ask such an ignorant question? Should everyday Ghanaian not expect godliness from so-called Christians?

Because they are the same people who turn around to lament their inability to perform baptism due to galamsey-polluted rivers. Time for them to start looking inwards.
Leave the Church alone.
Because of Apostle Nyamekye and the virulent criticisms from the men in cassocks. Some of their church members are paying tithes and donations with galamsey money.
Ghana is a funny country!!!.
It's alright to reveal their political party affiliation and not their positions in churches?
It is very important, because the chairman of the church of Pentecost, recently accused the state of our rivers in terms of river baptism in Ghana. Not knowing it is the members of the church who polute the water and come bac ...

Where is The Men of God in Ghana?
Apostle Nyametse, your Pentecost Church Members are involved in the Galamsay ooh. What again are you going to say???
Or you are already popular.
He should be dealt with. The Church the government to deal with him. Galamsey is bad, whether COP or Catholic or Assemblies of God Church member is involved.
Look at a dangerous fool again. Does the church teaches people to steal, go into galamsay? Look at empty headed
Ask again Yaw
You have arrested an individual, why link him with the Church of Pentecost? Was he at the site on behalf of his church? This kind of reportage must stop - linking culprits with political parties, tribes, etc. Linking culprits ...

Why shouldn't they? The Pastor is going to be more popular. Aboaba!
Many thanks for insulting me, God bless you.
When your Pastor goes about making political noise from his pulpit, the reality will be brought down to his doorstep for him to share his advice to his own members. God is not an Alata man wae!
What is political about talking about something the is killing Ghanaians. Whether it is Nana Addo's or Mahama's government he has spoken against the act. Galamsey is bad, whether COP or Catholic or Assemblies of God Church me ...

Ghana is a proper shithole country that needs cleansing. Where is Julius Debrah? He should share tears for his church member who was caught in polluting the same water that his head pastor needs for baptism.

@Peter, of course the Pentecost Church will march on stronger, after all the Church is God's property.
The church will grow stronger.
When did you guys start providing the denomination of people you arrest on galamsey site?
Please ask again

You are right Frankie

Shallow NDC propaganda trying to settle scores to wipe away the tears of Mr. Debrah.
You see some times the truth is bitter.
The truth is always BITTER
From the comments here, you can see who is NDC and who is NPP
Burn down all the Galamsey equipment.
They are ruining the forests left to us by our ancestors
LEAVE HIM ALAONE
GO AND CATCH THE POLITICIANS WHO HAVE CONCESSIONS AND THE ELDER WORKING TO GET PAID
This is unintelligent post.
The irony!
I need water to baptise new converts in my church.
Very stupid caption, what has the church got to do with this?
Is it a cover for ndc woman insulting Pentecost leader?. What happened to NDC leaders that the President mentioned?. Have they been arrested?
There's nothing surprising about his arrest. A lot of people are doing it, chiefs, government officials, a whole lot so they should carry out their duties of arrest and dismantling of equipment's.
Diabolic caption
I won't be surprised this is a setting
The writer is a smart anti-church person. He knows "Man arrested in anti-galamsey swoop in Ashanti Region" will not attract readers. So he took the opportunity to tarnish the image of the church
He is afraid of the church.
Since when did we start profiling galamseyers by their religious affiliations? Ignorance is a plague indeed. If this is meant to whitewash that woman's foolishly abrasive attack on Apostle Nyamekye then you have failed. In ...

The headline was manufactured in the office of Kwakye Ofosu,this is the work a whole ghc78 million is doing for consumption of the feeble minded imbecilic NDC supporters and some are represented on this platform.
Why that headline as if he is the only elder doing galamsey in Ghana .and put church of Pentecost there.
What a stupid gyeiiiimeiiiiifoo caption! If such is tagged to the ofuiiii Mahama the useless security agencies would run after the person.

Galamsey is bad, whether COP or Catholic or Assemblies of God Church member is involved. We will still talk about it. I stand for the people of Ghana; not any greedy man.
Anyone arrested at galamsey site Belongs to a church. Pentecost church and so what ? Why are we soo petty
Why do use COP as a conduit? He has name, used it.
His face looks dirty like a Pentecostal baboon
Look at how journalists in Ghana are idiot and stomach NDC boys and girls. Why do you link the church Elderto this?. Have you ever named a Muslim arrested in galamsay ? Idiots
we are a failed nation. not because of our politicians. we are a failed nation because we the people are morally bankrupt. the politicians are just the cream of the crop
Nowhere in the report did the suspect say he is an elderly of the church of pentecost.
Ghanaweb, l think this is unfair: are you making a good or bad equation for or against pentecost Church. This is below the belt as well as scoring a political point against the church of pentecost. It is a big shame.
Mekyea Awusi come for your stone
What is Apostle nyamekye going to say now?
Hypocrite so call men of God
So now in Ghana if they arrest a Muslim you’ll make this hardline? Where are we going as a country. Because the chairman has said something about Galamsey so your paid masters are not happy. Ghana web is useless
The Church claim that they could not baptist because of galsmsay. Come to think of it, they never preached against the menace. In their quest for political alliance they decided to make ungodly comment the government through ...

Governments are responsible for stopping galamsey and not churches. Members of any religious organization involved in galamsey do so at their own risk. The law must deal with them as citizens who have broken the law.
What are the ndc members who are also members of pentecost saying about this?
Is it necessary to mention the church the person attend?
NDC attack on the Church of Pentecost continue unabated yet the sycophant NDC members of the church pretend all is well
That’s his tithe the moderator used to organized the seminar to condemn galamsey
WHY CHRISTANITY IS HATED?
The man has a name as mentioned, what is the need of mentioning "CHURCH OF PENTECOST"?
Why did the reporter of Ghana mention the church name lam Catholic but the reporter seems to disgrace the church not the individual because someone in the ndc has spoken agenst to church this reporter won't to use this on the ...

you don't know his name. if you don't make it cp you will not get leaders?
The tithes apparently weren't flowing in as they should, hence the need to resort to engaging in galamsey in the name of Jesus.
Is this suspect the only galamsey suspect who belongs to a religious organisation. The NDC is bent on attacking and ridiculing Church of Pentecost. Chief of Staff, take back your Crocodile tears. We don't need it.
