He preached about faith. Now Ghana prophet is wanted by Bahamas police
After a wanted poster was issued by the Royal Bahamas Police Force, social media accounts of the same man revealed him preaching from a pulpit, speaking about faith, prayer and the power of God.
The man identified by police as wanted for questioning in connection with a Trafficking in Persons investigation is known in Ghana as Prophet Raymond Abban, founder and president of Glory Center International.
Online videos and images show him preaching passionately before a congregation. His church’s social media pages and website present a ministry focused on Christian faith, prayer and spiritual growth.
“At Glory Center International, we believe in the Holy Trinity and that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, our Lord and Savior,” the ministry states on its website.
Some Bahamians who recognized Abban from Harbour Island expressed disbelief online.
“Trafficking or smuggling? A pastor?” one social media user wrote.
Another reacted with astonishment: “The pastor from Ghana into human trafficking now? What a time!”
Pastors are expected to lead, counsel and inspire so when allegations emerge involving a religious figure, the shock often extends beyond the individual and reaches the wider faith community.
Ghana itself is home to thousands of respected churches, pastors and theologians who have positively impacted communities across Africa and beyond. But it has also faced public debates over self-styled prophets and independent religious leaders who have attracted controversy for fraud, manipulation and failed predictions.
