Prophet Onetouch denies fabricating Efo Emma's story

November 4, 2010 (Page 3)

THE Founder and General Overseer of the Jesus Blood Prophetic Ministry, Prophet Nana Kofi Yirenkyi, aka Prophet Onetouch, yesterday denied fabricating a story to the effect that his daughter who he had been accused of defiling was rather defiled by his security man.
According to the accused person, a witness had caught his daughter and his security man whose name he only gave as Efo Emma in a compromising position and that resulted in he (Prophet Onetouch) reporting the matter to the police on August 3, 2009.
Answering questions under cross-examination from Ms Helen Kwawukume, a Chief State Attorney, the accused person said even the victim’s mother was aware of what transpired between Efo Emma and the victim only for the victim’s mother to turn around and lodge a complaint against him (Prophet Onetouch) on March 2, 2010.
Prophet Onetouch has pleaded not guilty to one count of incest and has since been refused bail by the circuit court, presided over by Mrs Georgina Mensah-Datsa.
Speaking in Twi, Prophet Onetouch said Efo Emma joined his household three years after he had been healed of a 17-year-old boil after attending his (Prophet Onetouch) church.
According to the accused person, Efo Emma was elated after being healed of his sickness and he reciprocated by weeding and ironing for him (accused person).
He said Efo Emma, who is in his 50s, later became a member of his household until August, 2010, when it came to his (accused person’s) notice that Efo Emma was defiling his daughter.
The accused person, therefore, denied an assertion from the prosecution that Efo Emma did not exist.
He vehemently denied a suggestion from the prosecution that he defiled his daughter, adding that it was also not true he wiped fluid after his sexual encounter with the victim with a handkerchief.
According to the accused person, his daughter could no longer look at him in the eye because she had fabricated a grave story against him, her own blood.
He said she started rebelling against him not because he was defiling her but because she was exhibiting bad behaviour which he did not approve of.
Prophet Onetouch told the court that he was speaking the truth and God was his witness.
He has since completed his testimony and is expected to call a witness on the next adjourned date.
The case was adjourned to November 29, 2010 at the instance of the prosecution.
