Trouble looms over burial of late Leader of African Faith Tabernacle Church

There is a looming disturbance at the headquarters of the African Faith Tabernacle Church at Anyinam in the Atiwa East District of the Eastern Region over the planned burial of the late leader of the Church, Superior Prophet David Nkansah.

Though he belongs to a family, the church is his bigger family and as done for previous leaders the church is supposed to perform befitting burial and funeral for him,” Superior Prophet Stephen Frimpong Nkansah told Starr News.

Chief of Anyinam Barima Okogyeabusua Banin Duodu said the traditional council has not been officially informed about the intended burial and funeral rite of the late Superior Prophet David Nkansah, as tradition demands.

After the demise of Late Superior Prophet David Nkansah, section of his family claimed that, he nominated his 17-year-old cousin to be ordained as the next leader of the church when he dies.

They chose Superior Prophet Stephen Frimpong Nkansah who was the linguist to the late Prophet David Nkansah to be the next leader.

The Elders, Trustees and Executives subsequently issued a statement on April 13, 2022, “In the wake the demise of the late Superior Prophet David Nkansah II, the National Trustees, National Officers and the Regional Representatives of African Faith Tabernacle Church are pleased to announce the appointment of Chief Pastor Stephen Frimpong Nkansah as the acting leader of the Church, with effect from 7th April 2022”.

After his death, Superior Prophet David succeeded him until his death in 2022.
