An Anglican priest, Rev. Fr Balthazar Obeng Larbi was caught on camera kissing three female students of St. Monica’s College of Education during a church service in Ghana.
In the viral video, Fr Larbi could be seen stretching forth his head from the pulpit to kiss the three female students in their mouth, one after the other, while the congregants kept shouting.
The third lady seemed unwilling but eventually gave in to the deed after he ordered her to remove her face mask as the priest planted his mouth on hers for the longest kiss of the day.
A Ghanaian news website, Star FM, quoted a female student of the college as saying that the priest kissed the girls as “a show of appreciation,” but she did not reveal what the appreciation was meant for.
“The father in the video kissing the students didn’t know we were going to post the video. We were not comfortable with the situation, that’s why we were shouting,” the student said.
“This is the first time he’s doing this. He gave the school chaplain a kiss and then did (the) same to the three female Bible readers.
“The third girl the father kissed is a virgin and that’s why she gave her cheek to the father to kiss but he forced and kissed her lips.”
In a statement on Tuesday, Anglican Church in Ghana said its attention had been drawn to a circulating video of a priest kissing some female students of St. Monica’s College of Education within the Asante-Mampong Diocese.
The statement signed by Venerable Dr. George Dawson-Ahmoah, Executive Director to the Metropolitan Archbishop of Ghana, partly reads:
“The Church is saddened by the news and wish to state expressly that thorough investigation has immediately been instituted into the matter and the action of the said Priest would be dealt with in accordance with the norms and values of the Anglican Communion where morality is extremely revered in the Church.
“Meanwhile, all efforts are being made to engage the students concerned through counselling sessions to avert any psychological issues that may arise as a result of the viral video,” the statement added.
