The Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit of the police service has taken over investigations into an alleged sexual abuse case against the head pastor of the Abokobi branch of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Reverend Kingsford Kusi-Kyere.
The church said yesterday it would investigate claims by seven male members of the church that they were sexually abused by the pastor.
Dr. Emmanuel Osei Acheampong, the Public Relations Manager of the Presbyterian Church, confirmed to Joy News that the issue has been reported to the authorities of the church.
“As part of our disciplinary structures, we have asked a committee to look into the matter and report to the church for the appropriate action to be taken. For now we will treat it as a story but we will investigate it and inform the public accordingly.”
