Popular Ghanaian prophet Rev. Isaac Owusu Bempah, renowned for his bold political prophecies, has come under intense scrutiny following his recent prediction concerning the health of Vice President Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang. A day before the official announcement of the Vice President’s hospitalization, Rev. Owusu Bempah declared to his congregation that if the nation did not fervently pray for her, sickness would claim her life. His prophecy quickly gained traction, particularly after it was confirmed that the Vice President had been admitted to the University of Ghana Medical Centre on March 30, 2025, due to a sudden illness.
However, a well-respected journalist has now revealed that what Owusu Bempah presented as divine revelation was, in fact, nothing more than classified information leaked to him by informants within both the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC). According to the journalist, these well-placed sources within government circles provide the prophet with sensitive details, which he then repackages as “prophecy” to maintain and enhance his influence among his followers.
“This was not a message from God,” the journalist stated. “Owusu Bempah has informants in both the NDC and NPP who feed him inside information. He only repackages it as prophecy to maintain his influence.” The revelation has sparked a firestorm of debate on social media, with many Ghanaians expressing anger and disappointment. Critics argue that the prophet misled his congregation and the general public by presenting leaked state secrets as divinely inspired messages, thereby undermining both the integrity of the religious sphere and the sanctity of confidential government affairs.
The fallout from this exposé has led some citizens to call for a thorough investigation into Rev. Owusu Bempah’s political connections and the methods he employs to access classified information. Many are demanding that those responsible for leaking such sensitive details be held accountable, and that strict measures be taken to prevent the misuse of confidential data for personal gain.
Meanwhile, Vice President Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang continues to receive medical treatment abroad. Government officials, including NEIP CEO Eric Adjei, have reassured the public that she is in good health and responding well to treatment. As the controversy unfolds, the incident raises broader questions about the intersection of politics, religion, and the use of sensitive government information in Ghana’s turbulent political landscape.
