A woman has been arrested in connection with a fire outbreak at the church auditorium linked to Alpha Hour founder and leader of Grace Mountain Ministry, Pastor Elvis Agyemang.
According to preliminary information from security sources, the suspect is alleged to have deliberately set fire to parts of the church auditorium, causing damage to property. The incident is reported to have occurred when the premises were not in active use, preventing any casualties.
Fire personnel were swiftly deployed to the scene after an alert was raised, and the blaze was brought under control before it could spread extensively. An initial assessment indicates that sections of the auditorium and some church property were affected, though the full extent of the damage is yet to be officially quantified.
The suspect was arrested shortly after the incident and is currently in police custody assisting with investigations. Authorities have not yet disclosed the motive behind the act, but investigations are ongoing to establish the circumstances leading to the fire and whether the suspect acted alone.
Officials say the case will be processed in accordance with the law, and the suspect is expected to be arraigned before court once investigations are completed.
Grace Mountain Ministry has acknowledged the incident and appealed for calm among members and the general public, while expressing gratitude that no lives were lost. Further updates are expected as police conclude their inquiries.
