Addressing his congregation in a video shared by Asaase Radio on X on Saturday, March 15, 2025, Rev. Kusi Boateng categorically denied any arrest.
He dismissed accusations of attempting to flee the country and emphasized that he is a law-abiding citizen who has committed no wrongdoing.
He questioned the logic behind the reports suggesting his arrest, noting that he was physically present and addressing his congregation.
“And now, people are claiming I’ve been arrested. How can someone who has been arrested be standing here? Maybe they arrested my ghost,” he remarked in Twi.
Rev. Kusi Boateng expressed concern over the growing spread of falsehoods, lamenting the prevalence of dishonesty in society, including among religious leaders.
He decried the current state of affairs, where misinformation appears to dominate public discourse.
Clarifying his interactions with the authorities, he explained that he had only met with security officials upon his return to Ghana to discuss matters related to the National Cathedral project.
He stressed that this meeting had been brief and reiterated that he was not arrested or stopped while leaving or entering the country.
Reports had circulated that Rev. Kusi Boateng was detained by the NIB over allegations of dual identity. According to a report by Citi Newsroom, he was assisting with investigations.
In 2023, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the MP for North Tongu and current Foreign Affairs Minister, accused Rev. Kusi Boateng of using multiple identities, including holding passports and identification cards under different names and dates of birth.
Ablakwa alleged that a company owned by Rev. Kusi Boateng, JNS Talent Centre Ltd., received GH¢2.6 million for the National Cathedral project under a different alias.
Ablakwa further claimed that credible documents in his possession confirmed that Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng and Kwabena Adu Gyamfi are the same individual.
Despite these allegations, Rev. Kusi Boateng continues to serve as an Executive Council Member and Director on the National Cathedral Board.
