Rev Isaac Owusu-Bempah, leader of the Glorious Word Power Church

The leader of the Glorious Word Power Church, Reverend Isaac Owusu-Bempah, has vehemently denied prophesying the death of Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang.

Social media has been buzzing with a video in which the controversial man of God, while delivering a sermon in his church, allegedly prophesied the death of the vice president. Some social media users posted an image of Vice President Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, suggesting that she was the one the prophet was referring to.

However, it has emerged that the prophecy was made around six years ago, and he was actually referring to the current Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, who later took ill while in office and was flown out of the country for treatment.

Commenting on the issue, Rev. Isaac Owusu-Bempah described the claims about his prophecy as outright falsehood.

He expressed confusion as to why someone would deliberately twist the facts for political gain.

"I don't understand why someone would deliberately lie about me. The issue I was referring to occurred about six years ago. I was merely corroborating what Nana Oppong had said in an interview with Okay FM. But someone deliberately cut that part of my speech and made it seem as though I was talking about the current Vice President, then posted it on social media to create disaffection towards me. People are insulting me all over the place over a statement I never made. I just don't understand this."

"I did not prophesy that the vice president is going to die. At the time, I hadn't even heard that the vice president was ill. It was my son Agyeman Prempeh who called and said he'd heard that I had prophesied the vice president's death. I told him no, that is untrue. It was only later that I heard that our vice president was unwell. So, I am disturbed that people have falsely accused me of prophesying the death of the vice president and are verbally assaulting me all over the place," he said.

The presidency confirmed that the Vice President had fallen ill and received medical treatment on Friday, March 28, 2025.

Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Spokesperson to the President and Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, stated that the Vice President experienced a sudden illness after work hours on Friday.

“The Vice President, Her Excellency Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, received treatment at the University of Ghana Medical Centre on Saturday due to a sudden illness that occurred after work on Friday, March 28, 2025,” the statement read.

The communiqué further stated that although she had received treatment at UGMC, she would seek further medical attention abroad based on expert recommendations.
“Based on expert medical opinion, she will seek further care abroad,” it added.
