Gospel musician Diana Asamoah has recently made headlines after causing the arrest of her assistant pastor for allegedly stealing GH₵4000 from her mobile money account.
In a video shared on social media, the suspect, Reverend Kwame Asante, was seen in handcuffs at the Tesano Police station while Diana Asamoah narrated the story in the background.
According to the gospel singer, her assistant pastor confessed to spying on her while she was making a transaction, enabling him to know her mobile money PIN and transfer the money.
Diana Asamoah expressed her disappointment, stating, “He is the one that translates my preaching into English, he is also my Bible reader. He speaks in tongues and he sometimes works in my absence. But this is not the first or second time, he usually goes on his knees to beg and I forgive him. By the grace of the Holy Spirit and digital Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, now everything is simple because of the digitalization. He confessed that he saw my secret code while I was conducting a transaction so he transferred GHC4,000, which he was going to enjoy and spend some on women.”
The gospel musician further emphasized the importance of digitalization in catching the suspect and preventing potential harm to her, stating, “He knows my house, if I don’t cause his arrest he might end up contacting assassins to kill me. Such a thief.” Diana Asamoah also commended Vice-President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for his digitization agenda, attributing the role it played in the arrest of her assistant pastor.
Known for her affiliation with the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Diana Asamoah has been a vocal supporter of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s presidential bid for the 2024 election.
