Agradaa and Owusu Bempah's interaction at the National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving event triggered mixed reactions from Ghanaians, who were surprised and happy to see the two church leaders smoke the peace pipe amid their longstanding feud.
Agradaa and Owusu Bempah's feud
Televangelist Agradaa and Apostle Dr Isaac Owusu Bempah have been embroiled in a heated feud after the former hurled insults at the latter when she transitioned from a priestess to an evangelist.
Their issues resulted in the Glorious Word Power Ministries International leader storming the televangelist's house with some men and threatened to beat and kill her.
Apostle Dr Isaac Owusu Bempah was later arrested by the police and put on trial with six others for offensive conduct to the breach of peace, and threats of death, as well as conspiracy to, and abetment of crime over their actions.
The prosecution in the case said Agradaa reported the matter to the police, and Owusu Bempah was invited for questioning. However, he failed to honour the invitation, prompting his arrest.
During his arrest, it was alleged that some members of the pastor's church attacked police officers in what was a chaotic incident.
In 2023, Apostle Dr Isaac Owusu Bempah declared his intention to sue Agradaa as he delivered a sermon during a Sunday church service at his church.
He also recounted how he allegedly helped the televangelist to avoid severe punishment during her issues with former Assin Central constituency MP, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong.
In the lead-up to the 2024 general elections, Agradaa reignited the feud after she took shots at Owusu Bempah for joining other clergymen in laying hands on President John Dramani Mahama during a prayer session.
The evangelist, who had predicted a victory for Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and the NPP, also suggested that if Mahama failed to win the presidency, Apostle Owusu Bempah could be blamed for any potential disruption to Mahama’s campaign plans.
