The Anglican Church of Ghana has issued a statement following the emergence of a video that shows a Reverend Father kissing female students of St Monica’s College of Education on the lips.
The statement dated Tuesday, August 17, 2021, and seen by YEN.com.gh states that an investigation has been started into the issue and that the offending priest would be punished accordingly.
The setting of the video appeared to be inside a church with the priest and the students standing in front of the congregation.
The third student seemed hesitant but she gave in coerced by the priest.
Per the statement signed by Venerable Dr George Dawson-Ahmoah, the Executive Director to the Metropolitan Archibishop of Ghana, the church has started a probe into the disturbing issue.
“The priest would be dealt in accordance with the norms and values of the Anglican Communion where morality is extremely revered in the church,” reads part of the statement.
The statement also disclosed that the students seen in the video would be counselled to prevent any psychological damages that the viral video might bring.
