Five members of the Anointed Place Chapel, a church founded by Francis Antwi, popularly known as Rev. Obofuor, have been arrested for violently attacking officials of the Tema West Municipal Assembly on Monday, November 25.
The culprits pounced on the MCE officials when they visited the church’s Tema branch for inspection of their building permit.

The Head of the Local Government Service, Nana Ato Arthur in a Citi News interview said : “They got to the Anointed Palace Chapel at about 11:30am and as a normal practice, the Head of Works requested for their building permit documents, which they failed to produce. The head of works had previously issued four summons to the church but the leadership of the church never showed up,”
According to Nana Ato Arthur, the taskforce was further instructed to write on the Church walls following their failure to produce the permit but the Church members attacked them with sticks and cutlasses when they began to undertake the exercise.
He said a formal police complaint was subsequently made to the Sakumono Police Station , leading to the arrest of the five culprits.
Nana Ato Arthur said the Local Government Service strongly condemns the action and will not in any way countenance such behaviour by any organization.
