'Holy Spirit’ machine lands Ghanaian pastor in trouble

The Ugandan Police are investigating a Ghanaian Pastor based in Uganda, Pastor Nana Kojo Yeboah, for allegedly procuring an "electric touch" machine which is believed to deliver Holy Spirit-like shock.

According to the Public Agenda, the temporary arrest of Pastor Kojo on July 5, and the possibility that many more pastors use the machine on unsuspecting worshipers desperate for miracles has stoked cynicism over the genuineness of exorcisms and miracle healings that have come to be identified with the Pentecostals.

"I believe people can pray and God heals, but we have manipulated people," said Pastor Solomon Male of the Arising for Christ Ministries. "There is a cover-up."

"There are three possible offences: disturbing religious assemblies, stupefying in order to commit a misdemeanour, and even assault," Mr Rwakafuuzi said.
