The Inspector General of the Ghana Police Service (IGP), Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, has said the police administration is not against prophecies.
According to him, the administration is against the way and manner in which some prophets carry out their prophecies, which sometimes creates fear and panic.
Dr. George Akuffo Dampare made the comments when he appeared before the Public Accounts Committee on Thursday, January 19, 2023.
He added that the said prophets use the opportunity to show off, but they do not have the right to address Ghanaians on certain issues since they are not elected public officials.
“You are all elected to be Members of Parliament by our votes, and therefore you have been empowered by the Constitution and other laws to make certain proclamations, which is acceptable.”
But those who are prophets, who have been given authority over my life to go out there and make pronouncements about me, where I am not a family member or a church member,”
He asked the prophets to be ethical when they are giving prophecies about individuals, especially when they are not members of their church.
“Why is it that God himself decided not to tell us when we are going to die?” It means a lot. Even then, if you have a prophecy about someone dying, you have to put it in proverbs for the person to decipher it, but you don’t put fear and panic in the person, in the person’s immediate family. in the person’s extended family and the whole country.” he added.
