The Office Office of the Presidential Envoy for Interfaith and Ecumenical Relations charging all prophets, pastors, men and women of God in the Republic of Ghana to submit any prophecy or spiritual insight of a national nature urgent review and appropriate escalation.
According to letter dated August 10, 2025 and signed by Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, Presidential Envoy for Interfaith and Ecumenical Relations, this directive is in the spirit of responsibility, discernment, and stewardship over the nation’s destiny.
“As part of strengthening national coordination on spiritual matters, especially in these times of uncertainty and complexity, we kindly encourage you to inform all Prophets, Men and Women of God under your oversight that any prophecy or spiritual insight of a national nature, especially those with implications for high-profile political leaders, governance, national security, or public stability should be formally relayed to the Office of the Presidential Envoy for urgent review and appropriate escalation. This is in the spirit of responsibility, discernment, and stewardship over the nation’s destiny.” the statement noted
This directive is coming after the tragic helicopter crash which calmed the life 8 high-profiled personalities with many prophets claiming to have received insight before the crash. the many Ghana-based prophets have.
The incident quickly became intertwined with a resurfaced video of a prophecy by Ghanaian preacher Samuel Henry, also known as Prophet Roja. In the video, Roja claimed he had a vision of a domestic plane crash on July 29, 2025, on a flight from Accra to Kumasi. While his prophecy was for a different date and type of aircraft, and he described it as “conditional” upon prayer, many citizens have drawn a direct connection. They see the prophecy as a warning that was not heeded, sparking conversations about fate versus free will and the responsibility of religious leaders. The fact that the prophecy was “conditional” is a significant point of debate for believers, suggesting that the tragedy could have been averted. This belief provides a powerful but painful narrative for those seeking meaning in a senseless loss: the crash wasn’t just a random accident; it was a consequence of a spiritual failing, a warning ignored.
Several Ghanaian prophets have come forward claiming they predicted the recent military aircraft crash.
On July 13, Prophet Nigel Gaisie warned of a “plane crash” involving a smaller domestic aircraft. Weeks later, on August 3, Prophet Eric Boahen, also known as Prophet Uche, issued a similar caution. Earlier in April, Prophet Fire Ogya advised a soldier to decline an upcoming flying assignment to avoid disaster — a soldier who followed his warning survived, while Addo perished in the incident.
Prophet Roja’s earlier video warning has also resurfaced online. He has since stated that he has a message for former Chief of Staff Julius Debrah regarding the tragedy.
