Anglican Church, Ghana has in a statement reacted to the viral video in which a priest is seen kissing St. Monica students.
The statement said the church is saddened by the news and investigations have begun into the matter.
According to the church, the said priest will be dealt with in accordance with the norms and values of the church.
Rev. Fr Baltharzar Obeng Larbi of the St. Monica’s College of Education, fully dressed in his cassock, was seen kissing in turns some girls who were on stage with him.
In one instance, he was seen gesturing to one of the girls, who appeared very uncomfortable with the move to take off her face mask before holding her head and giving her a kiss on the lips.
