Francis Antwi aka Rev. Obofour and one of the victim<\/strong><\/p>\n

Adwoa
\nAmoako, Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of Tema West Assembly, reportedly
\nescaped being physically attacked by some agitated members of Anointed Chapel
\nInternational owned by Francis Antwi, popularly known as Reverend Obofour.<\/p>\n

The
\nnasty incident occurred near Tema Community 18 Roundabout on Monday at about 11
\nam.<\/p>\n

The
\nMCE and her officers were on the premises of the church to inspect building
\npermits and also collect property rates. <\/p>\n

Officials
\nof the assembly, particularly the Municipal Finance Officer (MFO), was hit in
\nthe rib with an object and his phone smashed, whilst the security officer of
\nthe MCE was also hit with a stick on his waist and head causing him to bleed
\nprofusely.<\/p>\n

According
\nto eyewitnesses, the MCE escaped unhurt because some city guards had to use
\ntheir bodies to shield her into her car from the rampaging goons, but they
\nmanaged to cause damage to the car in the process.<\/p>\n

Dr.
\nNana Ato Arthur, Head of Local Government Services, at a news conference
\nyesterday in Tema, condemned the action of Rev. Obofour\u2019s church members and
\nsaid they would ensure that anyone found culpable would be made to face the
\nlaw.<\/p>\n

He
\nsaid as part of improving the assembly\u2019s revenue mobilization, the MCE led a
\nteam made up of the head of works and taskforce, with five vehicles comprising pickups
\nand the MCE\u2019s Nissan Patrol vehicle in a convoy to collect property rates,
\nbuilding permits, among others.<\/p>\n

He
\nsaid his checks showed that Rev. Obofour had refused to honour five different
\nsummons issued by the assembly for him to produce building permits for the
\nconstruction of the church and other facilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhilst
\nat the church, the assembly officials requested their building permit documents
\nwhich they failed to produce. The taskforce was then instructed to write on a portion
\nof the church the inscription \u2018Stop work and produce permit by TWMA,\u201d he
\nexplained.<\/p>\n

He
\nsaid when TWMA tried to write on the building, some members of the church
\nrushed on the assembly\u2019s officials.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey
\ntook their red paint and poured it on them. They closed their main entrance and
\nstarted assaulting some of them with metals and sticks, and smashed their
\nvehicles. The engineer, MFO and the rest of the taskforce received their fair
\nshare of the beatings and also smashed the vehicle of the engineer and his cell
\nphone,\u201d he narrated.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe
\nwould like to inform Ghanaians that church\/mosque are under the state and not
\nthe vice versa. In this regard, they are expected to act responsibly and desist
\nfrom disobedience, violence and vigilantism,\u201d he cautioned.<\/p>\n

Fresh Arrests<\/strong><\/p>\n

DAILY
\nGUIDE<\/em><\/strong> learnt that five persons
\nwere apprehended and sent to the Sakumono District Police Headquarters where they are assisting in investigations.<\/p>\n

TDC Statement<\/strong><\/p>\n

Later,
\nthe TDC Development Company issued a statement, saying \u201cTDC Development Company
\nLimited survey department and Tema layout has revealed that Reverend Obofour\u2019s
\nChurch Anointed Chapel International situated at Community 19 near T and T
\nProperties do not have any valid land documents from TDC.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe
\nsaid church in dispute does not also have any permit processing documents with
\nTDC since the area the church is situated has been declared inhabitable for
\nboth residential and commercial purposes due to its closeness to a waterway
\nthat floods the whole area anytime it rains.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reports say Rev. Obofour was not on the premises of the church when the incident occurred.<\/p>\n
