Rev. Israel Eshun, founder of God Host Favour Chapel and operator of Yesu Agyemie Herbal Centre, has been taken into custody for allegedly burying his deceased two-year-old son in secret.
According to available information, Rev. Eshun reportedly buried the child in a room within the church premises without informing his wife or anyone else.
The incident has shocked his wife, Mrs Christian Marcathy, also known as Maame Ama, and residents in the area.
Mrs Marcathy stated that their son was admitted to Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra, where doctors advised the family to take him home for his final moments.
Rev. Eshun allegedly returned home ahead of the family and, upon finding the child had passed away, buried him without his wife’s knowledge or consent.
Maame Ama, who is currently eight months pregnant, said she discovered what had happened when she asked her husband about their son’s whereabouts.
The pastor then showed her where he had buried the child. The reverend minister reportedly attempted to flee after the matter was reported to the police.
Mrs Marcathy has also accused her husband of repeated physical abuse during her pregnancy, claiming she had previously reported the abuse to neighbours and the police.
Rev. Eshun was arrested when he returned to the premises to gather items, and during interrogation, he admitted to burying the child without informing his wife.
