The prodigal son of Archbishop Nicholas Duncan Williams, Daniel Duncan-Williams has issued an apology to his father after he went on a slander spree on social media last week.
According to Daniel, his statements about his father were all false and added that the Archbishop was the best father he could ever wish for.
He took to Twitter to write;
Dear daddy @ArchbishopNick I would to Humbly apologize for the false accusations… You are the best father anyone could ever wish for. Thank you for loving me even through all the trials and tribulations.
Daniel Duncan Williams seized Ghana’s social media space last week when he released his sex videos and went on a slander spree against his family, especially his dad.
Choosing to go live with his rants, Daniel accused Archbishop Nicholas Duncan Williams of a number of things, including being the worst father ever.
The Archbishop and his family released a statement the following day, noting that “while the family acknowledges that “the obscenities are abhorrent” people must “understand that he (Daniel) has a serious illness”.
Daniel was later picked up and confined for psychiatric evaluation, but the young lad seems to be doing very well now, following his recent posts on social media.

Mental Health: Toll, Tragedies and Hope
The significance of psychological health has become very personal to Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams and his family. Six years ago, Archbishop’s son, Daniel Duncan-Williams, was diagnosed with acute bipolar disease. Through the family, Daniel has undergone the very best medical interventions, treatments and hospitalizations, yet he still experiences relapses when he does not continue on his prescribed medication.
His outbursts on social media and elsewhere should not be media fodder or click-bait; We acknowledge that the obscenities are abhorrent but understand that he has a serious illness. Daniel is not of himself and he has never been in prison.
Historically, many mega pastors have all had to deal with their personal family challenges in the public eye and in this same vein, we also ask you to separate “who a person is from their mistakes”. We love Daniel, and we believe God’s mercy turns what was meant for evil to good, for them that love the lord and are called according to his purpose. Daniel also continues to be covered and supported spiritually with intense and consistent prayers.
The Archbishop has prayed all over the world for nations, leaders, pastors, families, mothers and lay people and at this time, he asks that you join in prayer for Danny and the family. We are believing, with God on our side, that Daniel will come out of this stronger and with a testimony to the glory of God.
The Archbishop says “this is a test of his faith. In his own words; “I acknowledge the situation my son is in, and I still love him…please pray for us…. “Love covers a multitude of sins.” 1 Peter 4:8
The Archbishop and his family continue to stand firm in their faith believing God for Daniel’s full deliverance, healing and restoration. We ask that you please respect their privacy as they navigate through this trying time.
Psalms 3:3. But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.

Bishop Ebenezer Obodai
Spokesperson for Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams and family
