Prophet Richard Addo, a 29 year old Ghanaian pastor has become a guest at the Adenta District Police Command after he was arrested for allegedly inserting his fingers into the private parts of five women under the pretext of praying for them.

The “man of God” who claims to be a member of Word Miracle Church at Nungua, a suburb of Accra, was arrested after one of his victims summoned enough courage to report the incident to the police. Street Journal’s investigations revealed that the other four followed suit soon after.

It was also found out that apart from enjoying free access to the bodies of his victims, Prophet Addo also charged the women various amounts of money ranging from GH¢150 to GH¢200.

One of the women disclosed that she met the self-styled man of God in November 2010 on the street where he told her that he had had a vision in which a baby was walking behind her and crying.

The woman said she later confessed to the prophet that she once had an abortion which made the prophet offer to help her pray to break the bondage.

The woman said “we made an appointment to meet at my hostel for prayers. Later, he asked me to give him G¢150 to purchase olive oil for the deliverance prayers while the remaining balance will also be used as seed money for prayer request.”

According to her, during a subsequent prayer session, Prophet Richard Addo asked her to strip naked in a hotel room while he used the olive oil to rub her whole body, following which he inserted the olive oil into her vagina.

While narrating her own experience, another victim said the she sought the man’s prayers after he told her that she was barren. That was enough to convince her that he a real prophet. The story however changed when the man of God started making demands. “He made me to pay GH¢200 for olive oil and the rest to be used as prayer request fees,” she said.

She also said Prophet Richard Addo inserted four of his fingers into her private parts while praying for her.

The District Police Commander of Adenta Command, DSP Stephen Kofi Ahiatafu, confirmed that five women, some of whom were married and others students, lodged complaints against the pastor.

He said one of the victims reported first to the station that the said man of God took her laptop, an amount of GH¢150 and fingered her as well under the pretext of praying for her.

Describing the prophet’s mode of operation, the commander said “after collecting money from them, Prophet Richard Addo then takes them to a hotel room, rubs olive oil on their bodies, and inserts his fingers into their private pans as well,”

He also appealed to other women who might have had the same experience to come and report to the police.

It is yet unknown whether Addo did it just for enjoyment or whether he had other motives.
