Daughter Allegedly Burns Mother’s Home After Prophet Blames Her for Family Problems

• A 31-year-old allegedly set her mother’s house ablaze after a prophet claimed her mom was the source of her problems
• The incident happened at Akyem Apinamang in the Denkyembour District of the Eastern Region, where both women resided
• The woman, Lydia Kyerewaa, allegedly acted on a prophecy from her spiritual father without questioning if it was true

The failure of prophecies among Ghanaian prophets is becoming prevalent. One that has caught YEN.com.gh's attention involved a lady who allegedly set her mother's house on fire because of a supposed prophecy.

A 31-year-old woman, identified as Lydia Kyerewaa, reportedly took matters into her own hands after her spiritual father told her that her mother was apparently the source of all her problems.

Some self-proclaimed prophets make use of a unique form of power to rule over their followers, taking advantage of the cultural beliefs in curses and spiritual retribution that some fall prey to.

It was alleged that when she was told about the prophecy, she immediately went to her mother's residence at Akyem Apinamang, Denkyembour District in the Eastern Region.

After arriving at her mother's home, where her family also lived, she allegedly set the house and all its belongings on fire. The mom narrated the incident in a video shared on X (formerly Twitter).

Lydia's story shows risk of false prophets

Fake prophecies are spread directly or indirectly by fake prophets. These so-called spiritual leaders instil fear and suspicion, sometimes turning family members against each other.

As Modern Ghana reported, this led to irreversible consequences. Her mom lost her home and belongings, and also had to face the shame of being labelled as the root of her child’s struggles.

Many victims of such false spiritual declarations suffer in silence, while others, like Lydia, act out in ways that attract legal consequences and societal condemnation, as reported by The Times.

Sometimes mothers ignorantly use witchcraft to protect their children, and it gets to a time they have to sacrifice their children and this is what causes some of these things, but as a true man of God they should have delivered the mother and pray she repents and accepts Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour! Ignorance is indeed a bane!"
