The President of the Ghana Pentecost and Charismatic Council (GPCC), Rev Prof Paul Yaw Frimpong-Manso has said the Council will not come to the aide of any pastor who gets arrested for flouting the COVID-19 protocols during the celebration of Easter festivities.
He advised that "let us stay within the law" because what the government has set out is for the benefit of the nation.
The Inspector General of Police (IGP), James Oppong-Boanuh, had called on religious bodies, especially churches, to hold services within two hours during the Easter festivities.
He noted that during Easter, religious activities across the country were always on the increase and it was, therefore, important to reduce the numbers and strictly observe all the COVID-19 protocols.
"Conventions, crusaders, pilgrimages and such large physical gathering are not allowed" the IGP stressed, adding, the police would provide enhanced security during the festivities and that would include the deployment of plainclothes and uniformed officers to monitor compliance with COVID-19 protocols and take the necessary actions.
Reacting to the issue on Onua TV's Maakye on Tuesday hosted by Adwoa Konadu-Yiadom and Nhyiraba Boadu, the General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God, Ghana, said "let us respect the leaders as it is in the Bible and respect the law on COVID-19 during the Easter".
