The post noted that the pastor had informed his neighbours that his son was sick and that he was taking him to a health facility. "The man of God informed neighbours of his son's ailment and subsequently took him to the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.
However, he returned home shortly after, claiming the child was nonresponsive to treatment and had died on their journey back to Mankessim. "He proceeded to bury the 2-year-old without informing his wife and other family members, leading to a suspicion of wrongdoing," the post added.
