The police yesterday invited for questioning, the leaders of a charismatic church, Christ Embassy Church in Ghana, over an alleged gathering by the youth of the church who blatantly disregarded the COVID-19 safety protocols at an event at the Fantasy Dome, Trade Fair Centre in Accra last Friday, April 30.
Also, the management of the venue was invited for questioning as part of police investigation over a trending video of the alleged gathering, dubbed: Pneumatic Night which showed an event that had a mass crowd in attendance but without face masks and were seen screaming, chanting and dancing to the evangelism which was considered a super spreader event for COVID-19.
Videos of the event showed thousands of the congregants gathered at the Dome without observing social distancing protocol and minimal wearing of masks. The Director of Public Affairs at the Ghana Police Service, Sheilla Kessie Abayie-Buckman, said some leaders of the church have been picked up for questioning. She further noted that some officials of the Fantasy Dome, where the event was held, are also being interrogated.
“We are questioning a number of people including leaders of the Christ Embassy Church and the people who let out the place for this particular event. The investigation will settle the matter as to who organised the event and who sanctioned it,” she told Accra-based Asaase Radio.
