The Ghana Police Service has asked Ghanaians, especially pastors and religious leaders to be measured in their utterances especially when communicating prophecies.
This statement comes ahead of the 31st Watch night services to be held in various Churches on Friday, 31st December, 2021.
A statement signed by the Director of public affairs for the Ghana Police, Supt. Alexander Kwaku Obeng noted that although there is the right to religion, freedom of worship and free speech, all of these rights are subject to the respect for the rights and freedom of others according to the laws of Ghana.
Some pastors use the 31st watch night to reveal prophecies meant to occur in the year to the congregation.
