What Happened When Akufo-Addo Visited Man Who Allegedly Cursed Him Before Becoming President

The Founder and Head Pastor of Christ Revival Baptist Church (CRBC), Prophet Johnson Adu Boahen, has recounted an alleged encounter between former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and a man who reportedly placed a curse on him before he became President of Ghana.

According to the prophet, he accompanied Akufo-Addo and several prominent members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to the man’s residence in an attempt to secure his forgiveness and have the alleged curse lifted.

Prophet Adu Boahen shared the account during a recent interview, an excerpt of which has circulated widely on social media.

He disclosed that the meeting took place on the day of the funeral of the late J. B. Danquah-Adu, the former Member of Parliament for Abuakwa North, who was murdered in 2016.

He said approximately eight people, including Akufo-Addo, former Ashanti Regional NPP Chairman Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, and former Minister of Food and Agriculture Dr Owusu Afriyie Akoto, first gathered at the former president’s residence before travelling to meet the individual.

According to the pastor, the group travelled without security personnel. He added that while the others ate at Akufo-Addo’s residence, he personally declined the food.

“On the day of the funeral of JB Danquah, the Abuakwa North MP, myself and Nana Addo, Chairman Wontumi, Egya Sei, the one who became the agric minister – Honourable Afriyie Akoto, about 8 of us with no security went to Akufo-Addo’s home. All of them ate, but I did not,” he recounted.

He explained that they later proceeded to the residence of the man, whom he described as having considerable spiritual influence.

Upon their arrival, the man was reportedly seated in a spacious hall and asked the visitors to explain the reason for their visit.

Prophet Adu Boahen said Akufo-Addo stood up to address the man, explaining his appearance and apologising for wearing a red cloth around his neck.

The former president reportedly explained that they had just attended Danquah-Adu’s funeral and would return to the funeral grounds after the visit.

The pastor further stated that Akufo-Addo told the man he had not visited him for some time and had decided to come along with the elders to check on him.

However, the man’s response was reportedly unfavourable.

According to Prophet Adu Boahen, he accused Akufo-Addo of being disrespectful and only remembering him when he needed spiritual assistance.

The man allegedly questioned the former president’s decision to seek his intervention after a prolonged absence and suggested that, despite receiving votes from Ghanaians, Akufo-Addo would never become president.

Prophet Adu Boahen said the encounter became emotional, claiming it was the first time he had witnessed Akufo-Addo crying.

He explained that the former president became visibly distressed as the man reprimanded him.

The pastor added that Akufo-Addo subsequently expressed remorse and promised to establish a nursing training college at the man’s residence as part of efforts to settle the matter.

However, he said he could not confirm whether the former president eventually fulfilled that commitment.

According to his account, the discussions ended with the man agreeing to put aside his grievances. He subsequently asked the visitors to mark the resolution by opening a bottle of champagne.

Prophet Adu Boahen said the other members of the delegation participated in the celebration, but he declined to drink because he had another engagement.

He also claimed that the man appeared to recognise him despite the fact that he had not introduced himself during the meeting.

The pastor further disclosed that Akufo-Addo later indicated that he would address him as his prophet from that point onwards.

Although he provided details of the alleged encounter, Prophet Adu Boahen refused to reveal the identity of the man said to have placed the curse on Akufo-Addo.

He described the individual as spiritually powerful and maintained that he would not disclose additional information because the incident involved security-related matters concerning the NPP.

The revelation has attracted attention on social media, particularly over claims that Akufo-Addo and some influential NPP figures sought the intervention of the individual before his eventual election as president.

Akufo-Addo became Ghana’s president after defeating incumbent John Dramani Mahama in the 2016 general election.
