Adjamesu Residents Protest Against Prophet Francis Kwarteng Over “Cursed Town “Comments

 

Residents of Adjamesu in the Bekwai Municipality of the Ashanti Region have staged a demonstration against the Founder and General Overseer of House of Power Ministry, Prophet Francis Kwarteng, following comments allegedly describing the town as cursed.


The protest, which took place on December 30th, 2025, saw angry residents marching through the town to register their displeasure over what they describe as damaging and disrespectful remarks made by the prophet.


According to the demonstrators, Prophet Francis Kwarteng allegedly instructed members of his church not to buy food, goods, or services from the people of Adjamesu, claiming the town is cursed. Residents further alleged that some church members were sacked or sanctioned for defying the directive by eating or purchasing items from the town.



Ironically, Adjamesu is the location of the headquarters of House of Power Ministry, making the situation even more troubling for residents who depend largely on trading and small-scale businesses for their livelihood.


The protesters say the prophet’s comments have negatively affected commercial activities, with traders experiencing a sharp decline in sales, and the town’s image suffering reputational damage.


Speaking during the demonstration, residents warned Prophet Francis Kwarteng to immediately desist from labeling Adjamesu as a cursed town, stressing that such utterances are unfair, stigmatizing, and harmful to their social and economic well-being.


As of the time of filing this report, House of Power Ministry and Prophet Francis Kwarteng had not officially responded to the allegations.


Residents insist they will pursue all peaceful means necessary to protect the image and integrity of Adjamesu.
