The man was seen in handcuffs apologising to the pastor and advising others to respect the law
A Nigerian national who was captured in a widely circulated video allegedly threatening a Ghanaian pastor and members of his church has been arrested.
In the initial video, the man was seen recording around the church premises. He claimed the pastor asked him to leave, which angered him and led him to issue threats, warning that he would stab the pastor if he was provoked.
In a subsequent video, the man was seen in handcuffs apologising to the pastor and advising others to respect the law.
He claimed he had spent more than six days in police custody and expressed regret over the incident.

"I am sorry. As you can see, I have handcuffs on my hands. Regarding the post I made about the pastor, it was not intentional and I do not have any problem with the man of God. It was because of the way he spoke to me.
"I am sorry. The man of God is a good person. He has just come in. I want to say that Ghana's law is working, so please stay away from trouble. If someone does something to you, go to the police station and report," he said.
The man further urged his fellow Nigerians living in Ghana to be cautious in their interactions and encouraged them to seek legal channels to resolve disputes rather than taking matters into their own hands.
