Nigel Gaisie condemns attack on Prophet fire Oja’s church
Founder and leader of the Prophetic Hill Chapel, Nigel Gaisie, has strongly condemned an alleged attack on the church of fellow preacher, Prophet Fire Oja, by a group of masked men.
In a statement, he described the incident as unacceptable and called on authorities to take swift action against those responsible.
“I condemn with the highest level of force what the unguided and unscrupulous masked men went to do at Prophet Fire Oja’s church,” he said.
He urged the Ghana Police Service to arrest the perpetrators and ensure justice is served.
He called on the Ministry of Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs to intervene.
According to him, Ghana must not tolerate such acts, especially within religious spaces.
“Ghana is not a jungle,” he said, adding that no individual has the right to attack a pastor while they are preaching.
He suggested that anyone with grievances should seek legal redress rather than resorting to violence.
“If not a private hate or interest against the prophetic ministry, no sensible person must attack a man or woman of God behind the pulpit. You can wait or at best go to court,” he stated.
Gaisie further expressed concern about what he described as growing disrespect towards the prophetic ministry in the country.
“Enough of the disrespect against the prophetic ministry in Ghana,” he added.

The Chairperson of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) Abena Osei Asare has expressed concerns about the failure of the Administrator of the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) Mr. Paul Adjei to honour invitation of the Committee to assist in dealing with abandoned projects cited in the 2024 Auditor-General’s report.
She emphasised that some of the projects have been abandoned for more than 20 years and it kept reoccurring in the Auditor-General’s report yearly, stressing that the GETFund Administrator could assist by prioritising these projects.
However, he has failed to personally appear before the Committee since the commencement of the Committee’s public hearing in the 9th Parliament.
According to the 2024 Auditor-General’s report on Pre-University Educational Institutions, nine (9) Institutions with 16 projects awarded by the GET Fund Secretariat had been abandoned/delayed for a period ranging between three (3) and 28 years.
Some of the affected schools include Adanwomoase Senior High School (Boys and Girls dormitory abandoned for 12 years), Atoa Senior High School (Home Economics Block abandoned for 27 years), Beposo Senior High School (Dinning Hall and Kitchen Complex abandoned for 10 years and lastly KNUST Senior High School (Three storey classroom block abandoned for 20 years).
The Parliamentary Select Committee on Energy continued its oversight responsibilities with a working visit to the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) yesterday.
Chairman of the Committee, Emmanuel Kwasi Bedzrah, said the visit formed part of efforts to familiarize members with the Authority’s operations and to explore ways Parliament could provide the necessary support.
He explained that the NPA’s work is focused on regulating Ghana’s downstream petroleum sector, a critical area for national energy security.
Mr. Bedzrah noted that the Committee is particularly interested in assessing whether the country has adequate petroleum stock to meet demand.
He noted that rising geopolitical tensions, including the ongoing US–Iran conflict, could have adverse effect on Ghana’s energy supply and pricing.
He further disclosed that the Committee intends to engage closely with the Authority on a proposed new petroleum bill.
According to him, a draft of the legislation will be reviewed and possibly presented to Parliament under a certificate of urgency.
