Alpha Hour Fire: Suspect Arrested

The founder and leader of Alpha Hour movement, Pastor Elvis Agyemang, has confirmed the arrest of a woman in connection with an alleged arson attempt at the church’s auditorium in Seven Days – Ofankor.

CCTV footage reportedly showed the suspect pouring a liquid believed to be petrol and setting chairs near the altar on fire.

Speaking on yesterday’s Alpha Hour stream, aired on Alpha TV, Onua TV, and the church’s online platforms, Pastor Elvis said the suspect is now in police custody.

“You sent people to blow powder on our altar, and by God’s grace, when that happened, we filled the auditorium with prayer. That powder could have been used as makeup, yet it was wasted. The fuel could have gone into a car, but it was also wasted. Despite such evil intentions, God will still bless us with the resources to complete our vision.

“How evil, now with what you did and you getting arrested, the way you will suffer. You’ll suffer in the hands of the police, yes, we won’t spare you, you’ll have to face justice,” he said.

Pastor Elvis explained that attacks like these are a reaction to the church’s integrity and the work they are doing in the community.

“If I had treated this ministry casually and joked with the altar, this attack would not have happened. Is it because people have stopped sexual immorality? Is it because people have stopped sinning and are no longer allowing Satan to feed on them? Very soon, you will understand how such actions only make you a tool in the hands of the devil,” he added.

He described how the CCTV footage showed the suspect pretending to pray, approaching the altar as if to give an offering, then suddenly pouring the petrol and igniting it. By the time security intervened, the fire had already been set.

“From the CCTV footage, she pretended to be praying, approached the altar as if to give an offering, then suddenly began pouring the petrol and ignited it. By the time security noticed and moved to intervene, the fire had already been set.

This shows how troubled the devil is and why there is so much resistance against us. But we will continue to walk with God in truth, and justice will take its course.

He further questioned what would have happened to the people in the church at the time, had they not been alert and acted swiftly.

“What is most painful is what could have happened to the people praying in the auditorium. We thank God for their awareness and alertness. This shows how troubled the devil is and why there is so much resistance against us. But we will continue to walk with God in truth, and justice will take its course,” Pastor Elvis concluded.
