Weeks after news arose that previous Lighthouse minister, Larry Odonkor has won a body of evidence in Madagascar against the congregation, more subtleties on the occasion have arisen.
As per thefourthestategh, Mr. Odonkor had contended that he was not engaged with the offer of the congregation's vehicle since on the date expressed for the deal, he was not in that country.
Once more, it was asserted that his then aide minister, Rev. Edmund Amartey, the man he gave a last embrace at the air terminal, was the person who auctions off the vehicle and consequently stored the cash in the congregation's record.

Find more subtleties in his rejoined beneath:
Fire up. Edmund Amarkai Amartey is my name. I have been a worker/lay minister here in Madagascar for more than 11 years in the Lighthouse Chapel International-Madagascar (LCI). I fill in as an educator here. I saw a distribution dated 21st June 2022 by Joy Fm and obtained from the Fourth home where it was claimed that I sold a Land Cruiser having a place with LCI under baffling conditions and that "it isn't clear where the cash went to". Reference was made to a claim between LCI-Madagascar and Larry Odonkor in the article. The article contains misleading, shocking and slanderous distributions about me. Consequently this response.
I WAS NOT PARTY TO THE SUIT AND MY NAME WAS NOT MENTIONED IN THE JUDGMENT
I might want to state as a matter of some importance that I was not involved with the suit and my name was not referenced in the judgment. I additionally didn't address LCI in the suit .I am likewise not the head minister of the congregation. I hence feel extremely scandalized that this distribution was made by Joy Fm without checking current realities from me. The distribution that I sold the vehicle and nobody knows where the cash has gone to isn't held back in the judgment. It is absolutely bogus, deluding and very slandering and I request an expression of remorse for being scandalized. That my image was likewise distributed in the article is the level of the outrage.
ALL MONIES FROM THE CAR SALE WENT TO LARRY ODONKOR
I'm by this response sorting the records out and expressing that Larry Odonkor let me know it was his own vehicle and not the congregation's property. He requested that I sell it and he took all the returns of the deal from me. There are a few WhatsApp talks among me and Larry Odonkor on his then Madagascar number and his ongoing Ghana number that demonstrate this and I have connected every one of the visits to this Rejoinder. There are likewise visits between one LCI minister named Rev David Quansah and Larry Odonkor on the offer of the vehicle. Once more, talks between a director of LCI Ghana and Larry Odonkor offer additional verification that Larry took all the cash from the returns of the vehicle deal. The visits are numbered 1 to 22.
I'm SPEAKING FOR MYSELF AND NOT LCI-MADAGASCAR
Allow me first to express that by this reply I am representing myself explicitly because of the bogus claim made against my individual in the distribution. I'm not representing LCI. I'm educated that LCI Madagascar is going to claim against the choice of the court.
LARRY ODONKOR TOLD US THE CAR BELONGED TO HIM
Larry Odonkor let us know that the vehicle had a place with him and I had not an obvious explanation at an opportunity to uncertainty him. As a lay minister who isn't a worker of the congregation, I am not conscious of specific inner exchanges of the congregation so I didn't realize that the vehicle was the congregation's property. He purchased the vehicle for the benefit of the congregation when he was in Madagascsar. In the entirety of my talks with him, he portrayed the vehicle as his own property. (See visit numbers 9)
Larry Odonkor had spread the word for every one of the teachers that he was returning to Ghana. At some point, Larry let me know that he would like me to sell his vehicle for himself and that he had proactively addressed 2 nearby ministers here in Antananarivo, his neighbors and his repairman about the offer of his vehicle and he additionally advised them to search for purchasers for him.
I asked him for what valid reason he was selling the vehicle and he certainly let me know that "it is my vehicle". I likewise asked him what the new mission head will utilize when he comes to Madagascar. He said and I quote "I would offer it to the new minister who comes here and the congregation would pay for it". This gave me the feeling that it was his vehicle.
It was the ideal opportunity for Larry Odonkor to go to his new mission. En route to the air terminal, there were 4 of us altogether in the vehicle as he headed to the air terminal from home since he had proactively taken his family to the air terminal. In the vehicle, he inquired as to whether I had my permit on me however I let him know that I didn't take it. So another minister companion drove the vehicle to Larry Odonkor's previous home and left the vehicle. He taught for the vehicle to left in his previous home till it was auctions off. (See talk number 6 )
LARRY ALSO TOLD OTHER PASTOR NAMED DAVID QUANSAH TO SELL THE CAR FOR HIM
Larry likewise told Pastor David Quansah who was additionally a worker minister of LCI Madagascar at an opportunity to sell vehicle for him. David Quansah and I made Facebook distributions of the Toyota Land Cruiser under Larry's guidelines to assist him with selling the vehicle. (See talks numbers 4 to 6 between Rev. David Quansah and Larry.) I didn't realize that Larry would lie pretty much this later. Certain individuals came to see it and furthermore one of the neighborhood Malagasy ministers Larry addressed likewise came to take the vehicle to show to a few expected purchasers.
We as a whole used to give refreshes about the offer of the vehicle to Larry. Potential purchasers at first communicated revenue in purchasing the vehicle at 56 million, 60 million and 65 million Ariary however they didn't have prepared cash. There were times that was nothing to refresh him about except for he would ask and lash out in light of the fact that there is no update. (See talks numbers 1 to 8)
"Offer TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER"
On the 24th February 2020, there were 2 intrigued purchasers who came to check the vehicle out. During the talks, I was on WhatsApp with Larry Odonkor educating him concerning the sum the two potential purchasers were offering and he taught me to "offer it to the most noteworthy bidder". (See talk number 7)
The vehicle was sold ultimately to the most elevated bidder at 50 million Ariary ( GHC 126,400) who had prepared cash on 25th February 2020 under Larry Odonkor's directions and the sum was paid in real money and Larry Odonkor knew about this since I was refreshing him on whatAspp.(See talks numbers 9 and 10)
Directions FROM LARRY ODONKOR ON WHAT TO USE THE CAR MONEY FOR
After getting the cash, Larry quickly trained me to involve 30 million Ariary to finish installment for land he was purchasing here in Madagascar from one Mr. Rija . I did so that very day the vehicle was sold and I sent him the bank pay-in-slips. I paid the 30 million Ariary into the ledger of the proprietor of the land. Larry Odonkor likewise educated me to give a 500,000 Ariary to pay the individual who dealt with his cows called Hery-ve. A piece of the cash was likewise to utilized for reports on Larry's cows (See visits numbers 11,12,13,14 and 16). A short time later, Larry Odonkor trained me to go to his bank in madagascar and converse with the supervisor called Nathaniel so the director helps me to send him the remainder of the cash into his ABSA account in Accra. (visits number 13 and 14).
After endless endeavors of not having the option to send Larry Odonkor the cash in view of the regulations in regards to cash move in Madagascar, Larry figured out that a gift would have been sent from the congregation in Ghana to assist the Madagascar mission with paying for the dirt test. So Larry shrewdly reached the executive of LCI Ghana in Accra who should send the gift and told her that he had his cash with me in the amount of 19,500,000 Ariary so rather than moving monies to Madagascar, the cash ought to be given to him in Accra so I utilize the remainder of the cash to pay for the dirt test. The director concurred and paid $ 5,237 into Larry's own record ABSA account in Ghana. I then utilized the excess 19,500,000 Ariary to pay for the dirt test. (See talks numbers 17 to 22 among Larry and the head in Ghana).
Outline OF BREAKDOWN OF HOW THE LAND CRUISER MONEY WAS USED
This is the way the returns from the vehicle deal (50 million Ariary ) was utilized under Larry Odonkor's guidelines:
Installment for Larry Odonkor's territory in Madagascar - 30,000,000 Ariary. (talk numbers 11 to 14).
Installment for pay of guardian of Larry Odonkor's cows and documentation on Larry's cows in Madagascar - 500,000 Ariary ( visit number 16 ).
Larry guilefully took $ 5,237 from the congregation in Accra and I utilized the leftover cash (19,500,000 Ariary) to pay for the dirt test since Larry had taken $5,237 from the congregation in Accra - (talk numbers 17 to 22 )
Try not to GIVE EVEN 1 ARIARY TO THE CHURCH - LARRY
Larry told me explicitly not to try and take 1 Ariary from the vehicle deal to provide for the congregation. ( See visit number 1. Likewise I didn't utilize even 1 Cent of the returns of the vehicle deal for myself. Everything went to Larry Odonkor. It is in this way noxious for Larry Odonkor to make distributions be made that "Edmund Amartey sold the vehicle … . It isn't clear where he kept the cash" when he realizes he took all the monies from the vehicle deal
