Ghanaian pastor draws FBI attention over his scamming comment

Ghanaian preacher Sofo Obotan, widely known for his appearances on television, has opened up about what led him to seek help from “juju,” or traditional spiritual practices.

In a video that has gone viral, Sofo Obotan admitted that he used to be a fake man of God. He openly confessed that in the past, he misled people and caused harm—both knowingly and unknowingly—through his actions.

He explained that during those years of deception, he hurt many individuals, scamming them in different ways. Eventually, he was warned by a fellow pastor that he needed spiritual protection, or he could face retaliation from those he had wronged.

According to Sofo Obotan, it was this warning that pushed him to turn to “juju” for help. He revealed in the video, “he had no option but to go for spiritual support from a mini-god.”

His confession has stirred strong reactions online, with many expressing shock and disappointment, while others say his honesty might help shed light on the darker side of some self-proclaimed spiritual leaders.
