NIB Detains Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng Over ‘Multiple Identities’ Allegation
Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng, also known as Kwabena Adu Gyamfi, has been detained by the National Investigations Bureau (NIB).
The General Overseer of Power Chapel Worldwide and the Secretary to the Board of Trustees of the National Cathedral is currently in the custody of NIB on allegations of him possessing multiple identities, according to reliable sources.
Multiple Identities Fraud
The issue of multiple identities surrounding Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng arose in 2023 when North Tongu MP, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa (now Foreign Minister) alleged in an exposé that the religious leader held multiple passports under different names.
Ablakwa, on his Facebook page, accused Rev. Kusi Boateng of having multiple identities and engaging in some fraudulent activities in connection with the construction of the National Cathedral under the erstwhile Akufo-Addo administration.
“From unassailable and irreproachable documents in my possession, Rev. Victor Kusi-Boateng, AKA Kwabena Adu Gyamfi, uses multiple passports and multiple identification cards with different names and different dates of birth as his special modus operandi”, Ablakwa stated in a Facebook post.
Making further statements, Ablakwa claimed that JNS Talent Centre Ltd, a company owned by Rev. Kusi Boateng, received GH¢2.6 million for the National Cathedral project under the pseudonym, Kwabena Adu Gyamfi.
But Rev. Kusi Boateng denied the allegations and filed an application at the Human Rights Court which sought to prevent Okudzeto Ablakwa from making public statements about his involvement in the National Cathedral affairs.
The Human Rights Court, on July 13, 2024, however dismissed the application.
CHRAJ Clears Victor Kusi Boateng
In November, 2024, the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) cleared Rev. Kusi Boateng of the dual identity allegation and related issues.
The CHRAJ report found Rev. Kusi Boateng’s passport to bear a single name despite also being called Kwabena Adu Gyamfi.
The Commission further found no conflict of interest regarding the Pastor’s purported GH¢2.6 million transaction with the National Cathedral Secretariat.
