informed
about
the
death
of
his
children
who
were
involved
in
a
ghastly
accident
on

mount
the
pulpit
to
preach
when
the
news
of
the
death
of
his
children
got
to
him.
He
stated
that
people
thought
he
was
going
to
break
up
and
not
go
ahead
with
the
programme
but
he
mustered
courage
and
finished
with
the
event
before
mourning
the
death
of

the
Pastor
of
the
moment
following
his
son’s
accident
that
led
to
the
death
of
two
young
teens
at
East
Legon.

The
founder
and
leader
of
Alive
Chapel
International
came
under
heavy
criticism
after
the
accident
and
after
a
video
of
his
son
Elbad
who
is
under
age
driving
like
a
Formula
One
driver
on
a
road
in
East
Legon
earlier
before
the
accident.

The

together
with
his
wife
and
house
help
were
picked
up
by
the
police
and
arranged
before
the
court
to
face
charges
but
they
have
since
been
granted
bail.
Their
son

still
in

from
the

Archbishop
Nicholas
Duncan
Williams

Archbishop
Duncan
Williams

The
founder
of
Action
Chapel
International
Archbishop
Duncan
Williams
is
not
spared
from
this
list
thanks
to
his
son
Daniel
who
made
the
news
for
several
reasons
in
the
past
years.

Daniel
was
in
the
news
for
insulting
his
father
and
exposing
some
secrets
about
him
online.
His
action
prompted
his
distant
cousin
Sista
Afia
to
even
beg
him
to
stop
what
he
was
doing
since
he
was
tarnishing
his
father’s
hard-earned
reputation
in
the
country.

At
one
point,
he
went
naked
and
even
shared
a
video
of
himself
receiving
head
from
a
lady
before
their
atopa
session.
The
preacher
was
dragged
online
for
failing
to
put
his
house
in
order
based
on
the
actions
of
his
son.

Pastor
Mensa
Otabil

Pastor
Mensa
Otabil

Pastor
Mensa
Otabil’s
tragedy
came
after
the
closure
of
Capital
Bank.
According
to
sources,
he
is
the
owner
of
the
bank
and
was
a
board
member
who
was
running
the
affairs
of
the
bank
while
he
had
no
knowledge
of
banking.

It
was
rumoured
that
he
used
the
money
that
was
supposed
to
be
used
to
keep
the
bank
running
for
his
personal
gain
including
buying
a
mansion
in
the
United
States.

Following
the
arrest
and
prosecution
of
the
bank’s
Chief
Executive
Officer
Williams
Ato
Essien,
netizens
accused
the
government
of
neglecting
the
Preacher
who
had
the
final
say
in
the
bank
and
going
after
someone
who
was
just
taking
and
obeying
orders
from
the
top.
