The devil is using sacked P.R.O, I wasn’t around on said date – Professor Martey

The immediate past Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Reverend Professor Emmanuel Martey, has descended on the former Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the church, who accused him of taking a $100,000 bribe from some politicians to do their bidding. 

Reverend Martey at a news conference claimed that some politicians made an effort to bribe him with enormous sums of money, a house and a four wheel drive to tone down on his criticism.

Some days later, a former PRO of the church, Emmanuel Osei Akyeampong, accused the former Moderator of collecting the said amount in his presence. 

However, speaking at the Abetifi Presbyterian College of Education over the weekend, Reverend Martey stated Emmanuel Osei Akyeampong’s allegations should be disregarded because he was not even available on the days the former PRO claimed the incident occurred. 

“…That date also 28th July 2013 was Sunday…I checked my date, that Sunday I was in one of the presbyteries, I wasn’t in Accra. Then the following day he changed and said it was not 2013; but 2012 and that 2012 also fell on Saturday. The devil is a liar,” he further stated.
