2 men charged with issuing death threats against Pastor 

Two men have been arraigned before the Accra Circuit Court for allegedly threatening to kill a pastor and using abusive language likely to provoke a breach of the peace.

The accused, Frederick Ablorh Nmai, a 55-year-old carpenter and Adjetey Nmai, a 52-year-old fisherman, pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Presided over by Her Honour Susana Eduful, the court granted each accused person bail in the sum of GH¢50,000 with two sureties, who must be public servants earning not less than GH¢3,000 monthly.

The prosecution, led by PW/Inspector W. B. Kwafo, was directed by the court to file all disclosures and witness statements at least four days before the next adjourned date, which has been set for September 24, 2025.

Charges and Allegations

The accused are facing three counts: Conspiracy to Commit a Crime to wit: Threat of Death, contrary to Section 23(1) and 75 of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29), Threat of Death contrary to Section 75 of Act 29 and Offensive Conduct Conducive to the Breach of the Peace under the same Act.

According to the brief facts presented by police investigators, the complainant, KwadwoAddae, a pastor residing at his church premises at Teshie-Aboma, was allegedly threatened by the accused persons on July 25, 2025.

On the said date, the accused reportedly entered the church premises around 11:30 a.m., broke eggs on the ground, and issued death threats to the pastor, saying: “If I get you, I will kill you.” This was allegedly done in the presence of witnesses.

The pair are also accused of using insulting and provocative language, including calling the pastor a “foolish, stupid, and senseless man”, with the intent to incite a breach of the peace.

Fearing for his life, Pastor Addae reported the incident to the police, leading to the arrest of the two suspects. They were later cautioned and charged following investigations.

The court has adjourned proceedings to September 24, 2025, with the prosecution expected to submit all relevant disclosures and witness statements ahead of the date.

The accused remain on bail pending further hearing.
