The Awutu Breku District Court, presided over by Her Lordship Naomi Kuntor, has fined the leader and founder of the True Lamp Worship Centre, Prophet Isaac Kofi Agyir, GH¢50,000 amongst other things, for impregnating a married woman in Awutu Bereku, in the Central Region.
Prophet Agyir has been ordered to also provide a carton of whiskey and a sheep as compensation for impregnating the married woman.
Information gathered revealed that Prophet Agyir failed to pay a previous fine imposed by the Adontenhene of the Awutu Traditional Council hence the court action.
During the court hearing on Tuesday, June 20, the court upheld the traditional authority’s ruling.
In his defence, the pastor, based in Gomoa Budumburam, stated that he was under the impression that he was the rightful husband of the woman, who had been married to another man for several years and had four children with him.
Prophet Agyir claimed to be unaware of his supposed wife’s marriage to another man.
