Apostle Daniel Junior Yaw Adjei, who was arrested over alleged derogatory remarks about Prophet Mohammed, is demanding a public apology and compensation from the Ghana Police Service over what he says was mistreatment at the Police Headquarters.
According to him, in a recent interview with Blakk Rasta, he was assaulted and humiliated while at the Police Headquarters after being invited in connection with the matter.
Apostle Adjei said the police must publicly apologise for the treatment he received and compensate him for losses he claims to have suffered.
“…for what they did to me, when I went there, I want an apology and compensation. These two things are what I’m requesting from the police. A public apology from the police for what they did by inviting these people and even threatening me that they will take me to their community to beat me up,” he said.
He warned that failing to address the matter could lead to similar incidents in the future.
“If we don’t deal with this matter and we sweep it under the carpet, in the future we don’t know what will happen,” he warned.
Apostle Adjei also questioned why his photograph appeared in the police documents while the person he accused of making threats was not pictured.
“They humiliated me, even the person who said he will cut somebody’s head, his image is not in the police account. I’m the only person whose image is there. So it’s like a form of humiliation to me…it was just to humiliate me and tarnish my name,” he stated.
He said the incident had affected him financially and claimed that some of his belongings, including his phones, got lost.
“This thing that has happened has cost me a lot of things. I’ve lost a lot of things, even my phones and everything. So, we want the police to apologize publicly and then compensate the ministry [church] that we are doing and make a public statement that they are wrong by doing what they did, and I think the apology and everything will solve the problem,” he claimed.
Apostle Adjei said his demand was also aimed at ensuring that similar incidents do not happen again and to also send a message to Ghanaians that no one is above the law, no matter how powerful you may be in the country.
“I just want to make a case for the people to know that this must stop. It shouldn’t happen again. So that people will learn from this that even if you are powerful, we are all under the law. Nobody should take the law into his hand, try to hurt his brother,” he said.
Speaking on being slapped at the police premises, the pastor confirmed it and disclosed that a CID officer challenged his account, claiming he wasn’t assaulted.
“It was a slap and the CID even challenged me on that I’m lying and nobody slapped me,” he alleged.
He said the incident was particularly embarrassing to him because he believed people connected to the matter were celebrating it on social media.
“So it’s a humiliation and their followers were enjoying it on the media that I have received a slap. So, they wanted to humiliate me and that’s why they did what they did. So even though they say it’s not hard or whatever, I felt the slap,” he said.
“I never spoke to him. When I went to the police station, they invited them and he started questioning me, that have I seen any Muslim insulting Jesus before? And I said, yes, countless Sheikhs have insulted Jesus,” he explained.
He concluded, “And they said, ‘okay, so that is why you were replying to the same insult’ and I said, that is not the case. He didn’t allow me to continue so I just stopped. From there, I never made any comment again. They did whatever they want to do, put a microphone on my chest, recorded everything.”
