Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has called on Ghanaians to take genuine prophecies seriously and not dismiss spiritual warnings from credible religious leaders.
Speaking at the funeral of the late Acting Deputy National Security Coordinator, Alhaji Muniru Limuna Mohammed—who was buried alongside Environment Minister Dr. Ibrahim Murtala Muhammed—Mr. Bagbin emphasized the importance of respecting spiritual insights from trusted clergy.
“Pastors, the Reverends, we should listen to them. It is not all of them who are looking for money. Don’t take what they say for granted… I can’t say I know the spiritual world more than those who have taken it as a career,” he said.
His remarks followed the Presidency’s directive from the Interfaith and Ecumenical Relations Office, which requires religious leaders to submit any prophecies of national significance for official review.
The directive, signed by Presidential Envoy Elvis Afriyie Ankrah on August 10, calls for urgent submission of prophecies related to political leaders, governance, national security, or public stability.
This move came after viral videos showed self-proclaimed prophets claiming to have foreseen the August 6 military helicopter crash that claimed eight lives, including Defence Minister Dr. Edward Omane Boamah and Environment Minister Dr. Ibrahim Murtala Muhammed.
Other victims included Alhaji Muniru Limuna Mohammed; Samuel Aboagye, former parliamentary candidate; Samuel Sarpong, NDC Vice Chairman; and three military personnel — Squadron Leader Peter Bafemi Anala, Flying Officer Manin Twum-Ampadu, and Sergeant Ernest Addo Mensah.
The Ghana Armed Forces confirmed that the Z-9 helicopter went “off the radar” after departing Accra for Obuasi to attend an anti-illegal mining event. All eight aboard were later declared dead.
