• Prophet Dr. Ogyaba shaved a boy’s dreadlocks during a church service.
• The child’s mother said he was born with natural dreadlocks at the hospital.
• The prophet claimed it was to prevent him from becoming “the next Okomfo Anokye.”
• The incident went viral and triggered widespread debate online.
• Reactions were divided: some saw it as spiritual protection, others called it superstition and manipulation.

A church service led by Prophet Dr. Ogyaba has become the center of online controversy after a dramatic spiritual act involving a young boy.

According to reports, the prophet shaved off the hair of a child whose mother claimed he was born with natural dreadlocks at the hospital. The ritual, performed in the middle of a church gathering, was said to be a measure to stop the boy from growing up to become “the second Okomfo Anokye,” a historic Asante priest known for his mystical powers.

The unusual act quickly spread online after footage surfaced, sparking heated discussions about faith, tradition, and superstition. While some argued the prophet was protecting the child from potential spiritual danger, others criticized the act as misleading and exploitative.

Many questioned why the child’s natural hair was tied to negative connotations, with some pointing out biblical figures like Samson who were celebrated for similar traits. Others condemned the congregation for encouraging such practices, arguing that religious leaders were misusing their influence over vulnerable families.
