A Prophetess and a traditional priestess are locked in a fierce battle of who is who with the priestess accusing the prophetess of poaching.
The Mirror, reporting the incident, says the two who reside at Mandela, a suburb of Accra, incidentally share a common boundary.
Linda Twum, the prophetess and founder of the City of the Lord Temple who spoke to the paper, claims Okomfo Shie, the priestess, has over the past 10 months been accusing her of driving away all her customers through her prayers. She further alleged that the priestess has accused her of stealing one of her gods, thus reducing her spiritual powers.
Prophetess Twum said Okomfo Shie is blaming her for driving away her children from her home because her prayers were haunting them, adding that on Sunday September 23, while she was holding a meeting with her church elders at the church premises, Okomfo Shie came there accusing her of using the powers of “Maame Water” (Goddess of Water) in her church activities.
Okomfo Shie allegedly further told the congregation that she had come to do battle with their prophetss and her powers since she had not been allowing her to have her peace of mind.
After tempers cooled down, Okomfo Shie was said to have organised eight “machomen” from Dansoman who came to the church premises and destroyed some property and also assaulted some of the church members.
The matter was reported to the Weija Police and the “machomen” were arrested.
The Weija Police confirmed the story when contacted and said that prophetess Twum had agreed to settle everything amicably with Okomfo Shie while the latter on her part had paid of all the damages caused by the ‘machomen’.
The Mirror says however, that when it contacted Okomfo Oshie at her residence for her side of the story, she became angry and refused to talk.
