A woman has been arrested after allegedly setting fire to chairs near the altar of the Grace Mountain Chapel auditorium in Accra, the church led by Alpha Hour founder, Pastor Elvis Agyemang.
The incident occurred on the night of Monday, February 9, when the suspect reportedly posed as a worshipper before pouring petrol on chairs and setting them alight, according to CCTV footage from the church. The fire was quickly contained by the church’s security team, preventing it from spreading. No injuries were reported and damage to the facility was limited.
Following the incident, Pastor Agyemang announced the temporary suspension of all in-person prayer sessions at the auditorium, while police continue investigations to determine the suspect’s motive and whether she acted alone.
