Helicopter crash: Lawrence Tetteh slams men of God over fake prophecies
Renowned Man of God and founder of the Worldwide Miracle Outreach, Rev. Lawrence Tetteh, has condemned pastors and prophets who use national tragedies to promote themselves through false or insensitive prophecies.
Speaking at broadcasting house, Rev. Tetteh said it was wrong for anyone to take advantage of the nation’s grief for publicity.
He described such behaviour as the “insensitive part of prophecy,” stressing that true men of God should seek redemption through prayer rather than exploiting disasters.
He revealed that some of the victims, including Murtala, had made significant contributions to society, such as sponsoring medical students and developing community projects.
He questioned how anyone could use the death of such individuals for self-promotion.
The preacher warned that attempts by politicians or security agencies to control the prophetic ministry could cause further division, adding that prophecy remains an important spiritual gift for every nation.
Rev. Tetteh called for unity among church leaders and urged them to surround themselves with people who offer sound counsel.
He disclosed that the Christian Council of Ghana, the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council, and senior church leaders are holding discussions to address the matter and will release a public statement soon.
He recounted a recent meeting with the President at the Jubilee House, where Christian leaders prayed with him.
He said the show of solidarity was more important than who led the prayers, and warned against exploiting the President’s vulnerability during such a difficult period.
According to Rev. Tetteh, genuine prophecy is not about claiming credit for predicting events but about acting to prevent or redeem situations.
“If you saw it, what did you do about it?” he asked, stressing that silence and prayer are sometimes the wisest response.

The State through the Attorney General (AG) has filed an appeal at the Supreme Court challenging the suspension of the trial in the case of The Republic v Hanan Aludiba and Faiza Seidu.
On Monday, the Court of Appeal suspended the trial in the case. But the prosecution says it has filed an appeal against the suspension order.
According to the update, the law does not allow a criminal trial to be suspended simply because an accused person has complained about some of the charges on the charge sheet, particularly when those complaints were dismissed as meritless.
It argues that if the Court of Appeal’s decision is allowed to stand, no prosecution will ever be possible, since all it would take for a trial to be suspended is an accused person complaining about anything on the charge sheet.
