The Founder and leader of Heaven's Gate Ministry Prophet Kumchacha has defended his killing of two journalists in the Kumasi metropolis for allegedly attempting to destroy his reputation.

Prophet Kumchacha boldly said on air that he killed two Kumasi-based journalists and paralyzed a third person after they supposedly connived with a lady to set him up in a bid to ruin the image he has upheld for the past twenty-nine years.

Narrating what triggered his unusual actions, the outspoken leader of the Heaven's Gate Ministry said he was walking down the street one day when the said woman called to tell him there was something urgent they needed to discuss.

Being a prophet, he said he felt inclined to hear her out to assist her with her issue so he gave her a location for them to meet.

According to him, few minutes after the woman got to the location, Sanbra hotel in Adum, Kumasi, he overheard her giving out their location in a phone call which made him get suspicious of the woman.

The 'man of God' alleged that three men, two of which were known journalists and the other unknown, stormed his room claiming he wanted to have an affair with the girl.

He stated that he was amazed at their actions and this pushed him to kill the journalists and cut off the leg of the other spiritually for them to learn their lesson.

‘I have worked as a pastor for twenty-nine years and during Rawlings’ era, I have been arrested for preaching three times, slept in Kumasi Central Police Station for about four times, and the situation was not different from Accra Central Police Station. So building through these tough times till 29 years and for someone to use a day, a second or an hour to tarnish your image is very painful’, Prophet Kumchacha said.
