Pastor Kwabena Owusu Agyei, who was arrested earlier on Tuesday by personnel of the National Security, has been charged with three counts of criminal offences.
The preacher, 56, was apprehended in his Nungua home for allegedly threatening to kill the chairperson of the Electoral Commission of Ghana, Mrs Jean Mensa.
Pastor Agyei was immediately processed before an Accra Circuit Court.
He was charged with ‘threat of death’, ‘offensive conduct conducive to the breach of peace’ and ‘possession of narcotics’.
The court presided over by Judge Emmanuel Essandoh, remanded him into police custody for 2 weeks after he pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The pastor at a Church Service on Facebook live on Sunday served a strong warning to Jean Mensa to stop the compilation of the new voters’ register.
Footage sighted by JiveGH showed some men who claimed to be from National Security moving into the house of the pastor and arresting him.
During the time of his arrest on June 9, a substance suspected to be weed was allegedly found in his purse by police.
