There was an emotional moment in court after Reverend Owusu reportedly broke down in tears when his name was mentioned in connection with the ongoing illegal mining (“galamsey”) case involving several prominent individuals, including Bernard Antwi Boasiako.
Reports from the courtroom say proceedings became tense during legal discussions surrounding people allegedly linked to the wider illegal mining investigation. It was at this point that Rev. Owusu, who was present in court, appeared visibly shaken after his name surfaced in relation to the matter.
Eyewitnesses said the reverend struggled to contain his emotions while seated in the public gallery and was later seen wiping away tears, briefly drawing attention away from the proceedings and creating a heavy atmosphere inside the courtroom.
The high-profile case has attracted widespread public interest as it focuses on allegations tied to illegal mining operations and suspected networks functioning in parts of Ghana. Bernard Antwi Boasiako, a prominent political figure, has been publicly associated with aspects of the broader investigation, although the case is still before the courts and no final ruling has been made.
Lawyers involved in the matter have not officially clarified the specific context in which Rev. Owusu’s name was raised, and it remains uncertain what connection, if any, he may have to the case.
Despite the emotional scenes, court proceedings reportedly continued amid heightened tension as legal teams carried on with their submissions.
The incident has since generated mixed reactions on social media, with some sympathising with Rev. Owusu while others urge the public to allow the court process to unfold before drawing conclusions. Investigations into the matter are still ongoing.
