The Ghana Police Service announced the arrest of Richmond Akwasi Frimpong, Head Pastor of Anointed Grace Prayer Ministry, and an accomplice, for allegedly attempting to bury a five-month-old baby alive in Abofrem, Atwima Mponua District, Ashanti Region. The intervention of Nana Yaw Badu, the Chief Linguist of Abofrem, reportedly prevented the burial. Nana Yaw Badu recounted to ChannelOne TV that he encountered the men at a dug pit where they claimed they were burying a deceased child. However, he noticed the baby was breathing as it was being handed over to the pastor. Upon closer inspection, he found the baby alive, with its hands shaking, suggesting suffocation by a cloth. The Chief Linguist stopped the burial and, after the pastor and accomplice claimed chief's approval, led them to the chief's palace, resulting in their arrest.
