The founder and general overseer of God Host Favour Chapel in Accra, Rev. Israel Eshun, has been arrested for allegedly burying his two-year-old son alive in a room inside the church without informing his wife or any other family members.
According to a report by Angel FM, the clergyman, who also runs the Yesu Agyemie Herbal Centre, secretly buried his sick son after doctors at Korle Bu said his chances of recovery are very slim
The incident only came to light when the pastor’s wife, Mrs. Christian Marcathy Eshun, popularly known as Maame Ama, began to question the whereabouts of their son.
