Prophet Kofi Oduro Reacts On John Kumah’s Demise

The leader and founder of Alabaster International Ministry, Prophet Kofi Oduro reacted to the shocking demise of the Deputy Minister of Finance, John Kumah.

On the back of reports that the government appointee was killed, the preacher bemoaned why some people would kill Kumah in their bid to secure power in various forms.

The pastor indicated that if the late Ejisu MP did not die naturally, God would deal with them because his wife, Lilian Kumah, is a woman of God.

“A 67-year-old nation is killing people for power. How sure are you about securing the power? Who said the NPP will win the next election? It is God who makes leaders. You are already killing people’s fathers and their husbands, look at the pain you have caused to this young pastor lady,” Prophet Kofi Oduro stated.

“The wife of the MP preaches the word of God so why would you touch the anointed of the lord when the Bible warns us against it?” he said while speaking to his congregation.

Prophet Oduro further added that Ghana is struggling since there is blood in the hands of the leaders.

“Ghana is crawling because there is blood of innocent people on our hands. Be careful in this world else you will die prematurely,” he asserted.
