The Leader and Founder of Caravan of Prayer Outreach Ministry at Gyinyase in the Asokwa Municipality of Ashanti, Apostle Johnson Ackah Braimah, has bemoaned the invasion of the airwaves by mallams, lotto dealers, money doublers, fetish priests and fake men of God who indulge in fraudulent and con activities to swindle innocent people.

Their activities, he said, included giving out lotto numbers, doubling of money, exploiting people in the name of God, etc.

According to him, these so-called mallams, fake men of God, lotto dealers and fetish priests are tarnishing the image of Ghana, for which reason there is an urgent need to take measures to curtail their dubious activities.

Concerning the church, Apostle Ackah Braimah said it is doing well for the country as it is not only winning souls for Christ but also establishing hospitals, schools and other infrastructural projects, but some latter-day preachers and prophets are denigrating the image of the church.

“What they’re doing today is bad. When you watch television and listen to radio, you’ll be shocked at what is going on. We have a lot of so-called men of God who give out lotto numbers and also engage in other fraudulent activities,” he bemoaned.

Apostle Ackah Braimah, therefore, humbly appealed to television and radio stations that offer their platforms to these groups of people not to consider only the profit they would make but also consider the consequences their decisions would bring to the society.

He added that their actions and inaction could have negative impacts on the current and future generations.

He, however, commended the government for its recent decision to come out with measures to deal with these unscrupulous people.

He said that was a step in the right direction as it would go a long way to sanitise the system.

Apostle Ackah Braimah, however, appealed to the government to endeavour to set up a trained taskforce to augment the work of the BNI to carefully monitor and bring the bad ones out for punishment.

According to him, all Ghanaians must co-operate with the government to support this exercise, since it would go a long way to inject discipline into the system.
