Police in the Ashanti Region has rearrested the head pastor of Open Arms Ministries, Apostle Kofi Nkansah Sarkodie, for once again holding a church service despite the ban on religious activities because of the novel coronavirus pandemic.
Apostle Kofi Nkansah Sarkodie and two of his church members were first arrested on Wednesday for defying the president’s order as they held a church service.
He was subsequently granted bail together with the two church members as the police in a statement indicated that they were monitoring them.
But the Ashanti Regional Police PRO, ASP Godwin Ahianyo, noted the pastor was nabbed again for flouting the directive earlier on Sunday.
He told Citi News Apostle Nkansah will be arranged tomorrow [Monday].
Churches and Mosques all over the country have largely complied with the directive of the President to ban public gatherings.
Several churches over the week have held online services with others holding live services on radio and television stations.
