Residents of Twifo Nuamakrom are in shock following the arrest of 44-year-old Kweku Charles. He is accused of secretly burying Esther Bolu, an 80-year-old prophetess and founder of the Miracles Prayer Centre, inside her own bedroom.
Esther Bolu, a Nigerian national, had been battling a long-term illness. Kweku Charles, who originally arrived at the prayer camp seeking spiritual healing, eventually took over the church’s administration as Bolu’s health declined.
Local rumors suggest an amorous relationship existed between the two, though this remains unverified.
The incident came to light after the prophetess vanished from public view for over two weeks.
Charles initially claimed he had sent Bolu to Accra for medical treatment.
Inconsistencies in his story raised alarms among community members.
After Charles allegedly attempted to flee during a confrontation, residents searched the premises and discovered a body buried in a bedroom.
The elders of Twifo Nuamakrom reported the discovery to the Twifo Praso Police, leading to Charles’s immediate arrest.
Environmental health officers have been tasked with recovering the body.
Kweku Charles remains in custody while police investigate the exact cause of death and the motive behind the secret burial.
