Gospel musician and evangelist Diana Asamoah, has led to the apprehension of her assistant pastor, Reverend Kwame Asante, on suspicion of stealing GH₵4000 from her mobile money account.

She claimed that Asante confessed to secretly watching her during a transaction, getting hold of her mobile money PIN, and then transferring the funds. In a video circulating on social media, Reverend Kwame Asante is seen in handcuffs at the Tesano Police station while Diana Asamoah recounts the incident.

In the background of the video, Diana Asamoah explains, “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.”

The singer also highlighted the significance of digital technology in exposing the theft, crediting both the Holy Spirit and the digital initiatives endorsed by Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

“By the grace of the Holy Spirit and digital Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, now everything is simple because of digitalisation. 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…He knows my house, if I don’t cause his arrest he might end up contacting assassins to kill me. Such a thief,” she said.

Diana Asamoah is well-known for her allegiance to the ruling New Patriotic Party and her vocal endorsement of Dr. Bawumia’s presidential aspirations in the upcoming 2024 election.
