Four Ghanaian churchgoers were killed in a stampede at Pastor
TB Joshua's church service in Accra, Ghana as worshipers scrambled for
"Holy Water."
Police sources in Accra stated that the four dead persons comprised
three females and a young boy. Thirteen others were also injured.
The Nigeria-born priest is the founder of the Synagogue
Church of All Nations (SCOAN), which has a large following in Nigeria
and Ghana.
A Greater Accra Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Freeman Tetteh,
confirmed the tragedy to journalists. He also said that the dead were
taken to the mortuary while those injured are currently receiving medical
treatments. The police officer disclosed that the church was forced to close its service following the tragic incident.
Last week, some of Pastor Joshua’s bodyguards illegally detained some
Ghanaian journalists during a church service in the same church on
Sphintex Road. It is unclear if the Ghanaian police plan to investigate the deaths or file charges against the operators of the church.
