Peacefmonline can confirm that Prophet Nana Kofi Yirenkyi (a.k.a “Jesus Onetouch”), founder and general Overseer of Jesus Blood Prophetic Minister at Oblogo Manchester, near Accra, who was accused of allegedly defiling his 10-year-old daughter has been sentenced to 10 years in jail by the Accra Circuit Court on Thursday January 20.
Presiding Judge, Justice Georgina Mensa Datsa convicted the man of God of incest and rape and sentenced him to 10 years on each count to run concurrently.
But lawyers for the disgraced Man of God led by K.N. Adomako Acheampong say they intend to appeal the verdict and sentence.
Nana Yirenkyi was on March 9, 2010 put before court on a charge of incest but the prosecution for the additional charge when it substituted the old charge sheet with a new one at the second hearing.
The accused was refused bail by the presiding judge on two occasions because she said the defence team could not provide any exceptional circumstance under which bail should be granted.
Under the country’s laws, defilement falls under the category of offences that bail should not be granted.
