My son has serious illness, but I still love him, pray with us – Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams
In a statement signed by the spokesperson for Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams and family, Bishop Ebenezer Obodai, said son of the Presiding Archbishop and General Overseer of the Action Chapel is suffering from a serious illness.
He said Archbishop Duncan-Williams and his family expressed their appreciation to Ghanaians for their support in times like this, adding that Daniel has a serious illness, and has undergone best medical interventions.
However, he experiences relapse when he does not continue on his prescribed medication, adding that this is the test of his ( Archbishop Nicholas Duncan -Williams) faith.
“Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams and his family thank you for your prayers. Daniel’s outbursts on social media and elsewhere should not be media fodder or click-bait.
We acknowledge that the obscenities are abhorrent but understand that he has a serious illness. Daniel has undergone the very best medical interventions, treatments and hospitalizations, yet he still experiences relapses when he does not continue on his prescribed medication,” the statement said.
“The Archbishop says “this is a test of his faith. In his own words; “I acknowledge the situation my son is in, and I still love him…please pray for us…. “Love covers a multitude of sins.” 1 Peter 4:8,” he said.
The Statement further indicated that “The Archbishop and his family continue to stand firm in their faith believing God for Daniel’s full deliverance, healing and restoration. We ask that you please respect their privacy as they navigate through this trying time.”

The prosecution has officially rested its case in The Republic v Solomon Asamoah & Another, the high-profile legal battle commonly referred to as the “Sky Train” case.
The Deputy Attorney General Justice Srem Sai announced the development, praising the state’s team of hard-working prosecutors for successfully anchoring the state’s evidence before the High Court.
The criminal trial centers on the former Chief Executive Officer and the former Board Chairman of the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF).
The duo stands accused of illegally authorizing and paying out US$2 million to a foreign company without obtaining board directives or other mandatory statutory approvals.
State investigators have confirmed that the disbursed millions cannot be found.
Following the closure of the prosecution’s case, the accused persons moved the court for an opportunity to file a submission of no case.
The presiding judge granted the application, ordering the defense to submit their arguments by June 8.
The outcome of the June 8 filings will decide the fate of the trial:
With this, if the judge finds the defense’s submission convincing, the accused will be acquitted and discharged however, If the judge dismisses the submission, the court will order the accused officials to take the stand and explain why they should not face prison sentences.
