Ghanaian director Socrate Safo is demanding that Nicholas Duncan-Williams, the founder and presider of Action Chapel International Ministry, be taken into custody for his candid admission that, prior to his repentance, he had committed crimes like armed robbery.
In response to Nana Poku Piesie’s arrest by Kumasi-based Sompa FM for allegedly having sex with a minor, as seen in a viral video, Socrate Safo said that since the presenter was detained for admitting to her previous crimes, the archbishop ought to be detained as well for her history of armed robberies.
The director stated that Archbishop Nicholas Duncan Williams has been heard admitting that, prior to being called to Christ, he had committed several thefts.
“Based on the basis for the arrest of the presenter, I think it is understandable if someone advocates for the arrest of Nicholas Duncan Williams, and the person shouldn’t be considered wrong.
“This is because the presenter has been arrested for past crimes, and I have also heard that Duncan Williams said he used to be an armed robber and a lot of people have said they heard him say that, and many other bad things he did before his call to serve Jesus Christ.
“Then, based on his confession, we can proceed to detain him for his prior offences. We have not treated the presenter fairly if he is not taken into custody. Since they have all admitted to committing crimes in the past, why is one of them being detained while the other is free?” stated Socrate Safo during a Peace FM interview.
In a widely shared social media video, the host related anecdotally how he had a sex relationship with a girl when she was fourteen.
“I started having sex with a girl at the age of 14… Her father was a rich man in Dormaa Ahenkro, she had a body, and I had sex with her from class six until she completed Kumasi Academy,” he stated.
On social media, the presenter’s confession was harshly criticised by certain users, with some celebrities even asking for his imprisonment.
Ultimately, on July 16, 2024, this resulted in his arrest.
