A Circuit Court in Accra will on Wednesday sentence a security man who threatened to kill four pastors of the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council should they fail to pay GH¢5,000 each.
Emmanuel Yaw Owusu, who is a security man at the Anyaa Central Assembly of Pentecost Church, was convicted after he pleaded guilty to four counts of threat of death.
