The Founder and leader of the Church of the Divine Heart in Nkoranza, in the Bono East Region, Apostle Anthony Manu (Sofo Alhassan), has strongly condemned and slammed the wave of prophecies that emerge tragedies in the country, especially the recent military helicopter crash in the Ashanti Region.
The officials were on their way to Obuasi to attend a high-level event focused on tackling illegal mining, a significant environmental and economic issue in Ghana.
A chilling chorus of prophecies about a plane crash in Ghana has resurfaced, casting a long shadow over a tragic military helicopter crash that killed eight people, including two government ministers. This incident has reignited a national conversation about the role of prophecies in a modern, democratic society. The renewed focus on spiritual warnings highlights a deeply personal human angle to this national tragedy, which many ordinary Ghanaians are now interpreting through the lens of faith.
Speaking as a guest on Fabea FM's "Me Man Ho Dadwen" show with Apiah-Kubi, Sofo Alhassan described most of the prophecies surrounding the tragic incident as seeking fame, stressing that they lacked the logical or wisdom basis to work on it as God's prophet.
"The prophet should have applied wisdom and sought God's guidance to abate the happening of the prophecy," Sofo Alhassan bemoaned.
He added that there were some government officials he should have consulted.
He cautioned the public against falling for sensational religious claims, noting that tragedies should not be exploited for attention or personal gain.
He said, "Accidents do happen, whether in cars, planes, or other forms of accidents, so there's no news when something of that sort happens".
The rising number of prophecies and their ambiguous nature has led to a major debate in Ghana: are these divine warnings or just educated guesses? Skeptics argue that many so-called prophecies are intentionally vague, covering broad topics like “accidents” or “disasters” that are likely to occur eventually. The fact that a prophecy about a plane crash is linked to a helicopter crash, for example, is seen as a sign of this vagueness. For this group, these are not genuine prophecies but rather a form of showmanship designed to generate fame and followers. They see the prophets as preying on public anxiety, turning grief into a performance.
Pastor Anthony Manu criticized this trend, saying “When did we become so desperate to be seen that we use death to market ourselves? If Jesus were here in the flesh, He wouldn’t be on social media proving that He predicted the crash.
"The prophet who mentioned the minister's name has serious wrath from God and needs to offer a serious apology for forgiveness for using God's name on that tragedy," he stated.
"I allege that the prophet who prophesied the incident is an evil prophet who wished for it to happen for his fame and can cause it spiritually," Sofo Alhassan alleged.
