Renowned Ghanaian clergyman, Cardinal Peter Appiah Turkson, has reacted to a directive by the government for prophets in the country to submit their prophecies that have implications on 'national security' for review.
In a JoyNews interview on August 19, 2025, Cardinal Turkson questioned the specific role of a new government office established to receive prophecies.
He explained that prophecies are mostly confused with premonitions.
He said prophecies are given to promote the church, to warn of upcoming events, and to educate, among others.
