The Police are investigating an alleged gathering by the youth of the Christ Embassy Church at the Fantasy Dome, Trade Fair Centre, Accra, on Friday, April 30, 2021.
The gathering is said to be in “flagrant disregard of COVID-19 protocols.”
The event, advertised as a Church Service, which ordinarily did not require notice under the Public Order Act, was allegedly organised on the blind side of the Police given COVID-19 restrictions.
A statement issued in Accra by Superintendent of Police, Mrs Sheilla Kessie Abayie-Buckman, Director of Public Affairs, Ghana Police, said the Police had locked up the Fantasy Dome and started questioning leaders of the Church and Management of the Dome about the event.
"Any person found culpable will be arrested and duly prosecuted," it added.
The statement said trending videos of the alleged gathering, dubbed "Pneumatic Night" showed a non-mask-wearing mass crowd, screaming, chanting and dancing to the "evangelism" of non-mask-wearing leaders, putting the entire country at risk of spreading COVID-19.
It said the organizers did not give notice of the event to any Police Officer or Station.
The statement said, meanwhile, a similar event by the Church at UPSA took place on Sunday with strict observance of COVID-19 protocols under police surveillance.
The Police reminded the public that actions that breached the Imposition of Restrictions Act, would be subjected to the sanctions imposed by law.

Sad these followers of a mega rich Nigerian pastor will allow themselves to be deceived as if Civid-19 does not exist. Only time will tell for them to realise they have been ***barred word*** by these quacks whose principles for this action in not grounded in the gospel. How can a whole congregants behave that way and put all of us at risk? I pity them when though majority are educated, they still allow themselves to be misled.
This is blatant ***barred word***. Nobody was putting anyone at risk so sleep. Did we tell you we didn’t know about the virus? Did someone force us to go? If we know what we are getting ourselves into it’s not your business. This country is filled with a lot of incompetent leaders. You turn your face away from campaigns which drew large audiences, markets filled with people not observing protocols,the government is in charge of your salary so you’re afraid to also prosecute them. But we dierr we are some ordinary club in the country and clearly you don’t trust the power of God rather the power of the government so you leave the politicians and rather chase after the CHOSEN GENERATION. This isn’t only about CEYC,it applies to every church. The truth of the matter is you(The police,security agencies,law enforcement) are afraid of what the power of sn incompetent person can do to you so when they fault you ***barred word*** like nothing. I promise you,your lives are very miserable. It’s not your fault. I am just a 17 year old final year student who at least knows a bit of common sense and social standing
