In a recent turn of events, Prophet Fire Oja, the head of Zion Prayer Ministries International, has publicly denied allegations regarding his arrest by the Ghana Police Service. The pastor took to his official Facebook page on January 6, 2026, to clarify that he remains at home, dispelling claims that he was in police custody.
Fire Oja stated, “I am still chilling at home yesterday and today, vibin’ life, and people are running wild with fake news, saying I’m in cells. I have never been arrested.” His remarks aim to quell the rumors that have sparked considerable discussion online.
The confusion arose following reports that the pastor was taken into custody on January 5, 2026, connected to allegations of making defamatory statements against Ghanaian musician Mzbel. The pastor had purportedly claimed that Mzbel had suffered from an illness and had been hospitalized, which she later addressed via her Instagram account, confirming that she had reported the matter to the authorities.
Despite Fire Oja’s reassurances, skepticism remains among some social media users. Many speculate that his Facebook message might not have been posted by him directly, leading to calls for him to provide a live video statement to further clarify the situation.
This incident has triggered an ongoing dialogue about the responsibilities of public figures and the impact of social media on their reputations.
