Apostle Owusu Agyei was arrested on Tuesday, June 9, 2020, by personnel of the National Security while he was granting a live interview at a hideout at Greda Estate in Accra. During a Church Service on Facebook live on Sunday, the pastor allegedly warned the EC boss to stop the compilation of the new register. He is said to have stated that if the EC boss, Jean Mensa, goes ahead with the voters’ registration, she will lose her life. The National Security operatives arrested him after the alleged comments and subsequently found marijuana, a banned substance, on him - although sceptics believe it was planted. However, his lawyer, Mr Adawudu, in his writ to the court states that his client's rights have been abused since his arrest.
