Prophet ‘heals’ lunatics at Tadi Market Circle
Drama unfolded Thursday afternoon at the Takoradi
Market Circle when a professed prophet of God
unleashed his spiritual powers to cast out evil
spirits from known lunatics on the streets of the
metropolis.

Prophet Kwame Egyare who said he has been mandated
by God to carry out what he termed as the healing
exercises, ‘arrested’ the lunatics, bathed and
shaved them.

The about five lunatics who were ‘exorcised’
of their lunacy were given new clothes by Prophet
Egyare and his team from the Anointing Revival
Ministry, and put in a waiting car to be taken to
a camp to complete the healing process.

“I have a place I’m going to camp them for
three months, after which I will reunite them with
their families. I don’t know their families but
when I’m done healing them they will lead me to
their families,” Prophet Egyare said.

One of the lunatics, who exhibited some level of
sanity after the exorcism, was able to tell
Connect 97.1FM his name [Kwame], that of his
mother and father as well as his hometown but the
Prophet said they will be taken to his camp where
they will receive their total healing.

According to Prophet Egyare, he has been bathing
and shaving lunatics in the Greater Accra and
Western regions; a practice he claims has given
those lunatics sanity. Lunatics for farming
Popularly known as Sumsum Agya, Prophet Egyare has
appealed to the government to give him large tract
of land and cargo cars so he can widen his
operational areas to cover the entire country. He
said these lunatics have become a nuisance roaming
the streets of Ghana, and if he is given the
support, he would make good use of them.

“I will pick all lunatics in the country to my
camp, pray with them for a year and if I get 10,00
lunatics, I will use them to farm cassava and
plantain to boost food supply in the country,”
he told Connect FM.

According to him, the mental ailment should not be
seen as a medical condition but rather an evil
spirit manipulation that is why those taken to
psychiatric hospitals are not able to heal after
years. “Lunacy is an evil spirit…which cannot
be cured by orthodox medicine,” he claimed.

“These lunatics are aggressive because of the
evil spirit in them and if you are not careful
they could hurt you but because of the anointing
God has given me, when I hit them, they become
subdued,” he said. With a biblical allusion to
Mark 5:1, he explained his belief for attending to
such category of people in the society, which he
said, is salvation and that of the lunatics.

Recently, an alarming number of persons with
mental ailment have invaded the streets of the
Sekondi-Takoradi metropolis, something that is
causing fear and panic among the people. Some
market women and others who observed the healing
process Thursday, have meanwhile applauded the
efforts by the prophet and his team who have
pitched camp at the Market Square for the next
week.
