The founder and General Overseer of the Resurrection Power New Generation Church, Reverend Anthony Kwadwo Boakye, has died.
The popular charismatic preacher reportedly died at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital on Tuesday, February 21, 2023.
A statement announcing his death said the televangelist had been battling with a stroke since October 23, 2021, which eventually led to his demise.
Having been struck by the disease, he is said to have been undergoing a series of medical treatments to facilitate his recovery.
These treatments, the statement said had been keeping him in good shape until it became necessary for him to seek medical Intervention outside the country.
Unfortunately, preparations for his travel were afoot when he finally gave up the ghost.
“Following this impressive improvement in his health conditions, Rev. Boakye resumed his pastoral activities by giving virtual homilies from his base at an undisclosed location on Sundays until he physically appeared in church on New Year’s Eve to lead in the church service himself
Thereafter, he continued with his physiotherapeutic exercise and had regular audiences with some selected leaders of the church, family members and his legal counsel”, portions of the statement disclosed.
It continued, “On 31st January 2023 his family was compelled to take him back to the hospital when he complained of sharp pains in his left leg.
“It was detected that blood circulation to his left leg was not the best and that there was the need to fly him out of the country to seek further medical care and, if necessary, undergo a surgical operation.
“Preparations were underway to make that journey when he was suddenly taken ill and was rushed to the Cardiothoracic Centre at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.
Unfortunately, he gave up the ghost around 2:00 am on Tuesday 21st February 2023”
