Pastor of House of Bethel Ministry has been arrested for noise pollution

- The arrest was warranted by the Ashanti regional minister

The head pastor of the House of Bethel Ministry, Reverend Kwame Takyi was arrested on Saturday for making "too much noise".

The arrest was ordered by the Ashanti Regional Minister, Simon Osei Mensah who is reported to have confronted the pastor as the watch night service was ongoing.

Simon Osei Mensah had instructed on the police at KNUST to not only affect the arrest but also ensure that the watch night service was brought to an end.

This was after he had stormed the premises around 12:30 am, to warn the congregation for the first time. The angry minister later came in with the police officers at about 2:00 am to order the arrest of the head pastor.

Meanwhile, some disgruntled church members described the move by the minister as "Rambo style".

The minister's move follows existing noise pollution laws which, unfortunately, are not duly enforced. In 2014 fifty people were convicted by the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) district court in 2013 for causing noise pollution in the capital.

Meet the top 7 most stylish Ghanaian footballers

Sports Meet the top 7 most stylish Ghanaian footballers We tip our hats to the most fashionable Ghanaian players off the field. Footballers are among the highest-paid athletes on the planet. But it seems that a large salary does not always transfer into wise wardrobe contents. Their big pay packets, you would think, ought to stir-up a breeding ground of stylish 20 to 30-somethings roaming the training grounds, gated communities and Michelin starred restaurants of global footballing cities.

How Hard Is it to Be Truly in Love?

How Hard Is it to Be Truly in Love? We all want it, but some of us run from it. Not the chemistry or the attraction. I'm talking about the ability for "ease," which happens when we get one another. There's no threat, no weird jealousy, just a willingness and understanding that exists naturally. It doesn't mean falling in love is all gumdrops and lollipops; it means there's a common ground at the base of the relationship. It's not about forcing our agenda. We have some control over how open or closed we are to others and their way; we also decide how open we are to real love. We may meet someone and have that ease but may not know what to do with it, so we keep looking for what we know, a partnership that is a battle for control. The battles begin, with lines drawn in the sand, and then the nitpicking comes, while each side hopes the other will finally get it. It's a struggle and it ain't about love! Why do people walk away from ease , and go w...
