In a surprising revelation on Oyerepa FM’s “Oyerepa Afutuo Show,” a Ghanaian pastor has confessed to having an affair with a married woman from his congregation more than ten times. The pastor, who initially denied the allegations, admitted to the affair after the woman’s husband took drastic steps to uncover the truth.
According to the pastor, both he and the woman involved had initially denied the affair, but the situation changed when her husband invoked a traditional curse, pressing them to come clean. The pastor revealed that he and the woman had secretly met at a hotel in Nkawie, located in the Ashanti Region, for their encounters.
During the radio appearance, he expressed deep remorse, acknowledging the gravity of his actions. “I have committed a great sin and need forgiveness,” he confessed, appealing for understanding and redemption from his congregation and the woman’s family. He admitted that he is struggling with guilt and is now seeking ways to make amends for what he called “a serious moral failing.”
The confession has sparked a significant reaction on social media, with many expressing disappointment in the pastor’s actions, given his position of spiritual leadership. Some have called for accountability within the church, while others have stressed the importance of forgiveness and reconciliation.
This incident adds to a growing conversation in Ghana about ethics and accountability in religious leadership. As the pastor seeks forgiveness, his church and community now face the challenge of navigating this delicate situation, balancing justice, forgiveness, and the need to uphold trust in their spiritual institutions.
