The Pastor is alleged to have kissed and fondled a female church member who he said he was praying for.

The head pastor of the Faith Word Ministry in Accra who is alleged to have kissed and fondled the breast of his female church member has been granted bail.

The bail is in the sum of GH¢10,000 with two sureties, one to be a public servant earning not less than GH¢1,000.

Narrating the incident in court the prosecutor of the case said Pastor Edmund Karikari Agyei said he had a revelation concerning the member. He, therefore, asked the mother of the child to bring her to his house for prayers.

During a conversation with the victim, the accused said he had another revelation which showed the girl had lower abdominal pains. He, later, requested to use olive oil on the ‘painful’ abdomen and navel.

He continued to narrate that Pastor Agyei after pulling the sweater of the victim upwards he applied the olive oil and is alleged to have kissed and fondled breast of the church member.

The victim whose name was given as Angela reported the 40-year old pastor to his mother who subsequently lodged a complaint.

The prosecutor added that Pastor Agyei was admitted the offence in his caution statement to the police.
