Musama Church installs new Akaboha
Accra, Dec. 30, Ghanadot/GNA- The Musama Disco Christo
Church (MDCC) at the weekend, elected Mr MoknaJeeba Fiifi
Jehu-Appiah, a 48-year old Educationist, as the new General
Prophet and Head of the Church.
Mr Jehu-Appiah who now becomes Akaboha IV was ordained at a
special church service at Gomoa Mozano in the Central Region
that attracted jubilation from the excited congregation.
Mr Jehu-Appiah’s ordination was made possible as a result of
a court ruling initiated by the elders of the church that
deposed Akaboha III, Prophet Miritaiah Jonah Jehu-Appiah for
bringing his office to disrepute.
The court has also cancelled the interlocutory injunction
instituted against the Akatitibi, Co-founder and Head of
MDCC, Prophetess Mathabinaiah Jehu-Appiah that restricted
her from performing functions of the Church in absence of
the General Head.
Prophet Hubamoulda Jehu-Appiah, Public Relations Officer of
the MDCC, told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) after the
ceremony on Sunday that the installation and ordination of
the new Akaboha followed a long period of prayers and
fasting by the prophets and prophetesses of the Church to
choose a new leader for the Church.
He expressed the hope that the ceremony would re-unite
members of the Pentecostal faith and rejuvenate their
Christian lives.
The new Akaboha, who also spoke to the GNA stressed the need
for Christians to strive for peace and harmony to facilitate
the growth of their Christian lives.
Akaboha IV attended Apam Secondary School from 1973 to 1980
and followed it up with a degree programme at the University
of Ghana, where he obtained Bachelor of Arts in English.
He studied teaching methodology in various programmes in
Moscow, Budapest and Cambridge.
Since 1999, Akaboha IV had been an examiner with the
International Baccalaure Organisation (IBO). He had also
carried out various researches in religion.
He is the son of the late Prophet Dr. Mathapoly Moses Jehu-Appiah,
the Akaboha II and is married with two children.
MDCC was founded by Prophet Jemisimiham Jehu-Appiah, Akaboha
I, in 1917 and was registered as a church in 1922.
