The leader of the Glorious Word Power Ministries International (Glorious Chapel), Apostle Isaac Owusu Bempah, has claimed that the Wednesday, August 6, 2025, military helicopter crash, which claimed eight lives, could have been prevented if government officials had acted on his warnings.
Speaking to the congregation on Sunday, August 10, 2025, Owusu Bempah revealed that he had received “divine insight” about an impending aviation disaster and had reached out to key figures in the government to alert them.
According to him, his efforts were met with delays, scepticism, and ultimately inaction.
Owusu Bempah expressed deep sorrow over the loss of lives in the helicopter crash, stating that the tragedy could have been avoided if the necessary precautionary measures had been taken.
“I had a conversation with the Archbishop and told him I had been calling someone for three months without any response. I kept insisting that the person come and meet me, but he kept putting me off for months until now.
He added: “So I said to the Archbishop, please tell the President to avoid any local flights between Accra and Tamale or Accra and Kumasi. No one should question whether the prophets saw it coming.”
