Opamabour to be dragged to court for showing pono on live TV (Details)

The Film Classification Committee (FCC) of Ghana has asked famed man of God, Prophet 1 aka Opambour to furnish all of its in-house content, including the pornographic content he displayed weeks ago with classification documents to its outfit.

This is on the heels of a sexually explicit content he shared on his privately owned station weeks ago which served as a prelude to a sermon he was preparing to deliver.

As reported by www.Ghbase.com when the incident popped up, the video which was actually extracted from a Nigerian pono hub, captured a male actor dressed as a fetish priest and was about to get down on the female actress who came to him for spiritual assistance.

Opambour who was preaching against schemes employed by these fetish priests especially, those who go about sleeping with their clients, wanted to use the video to illustrate his sermon and give the message much currency.

However, when it was about to go down, he ordered his producers to halt the content and abruptly pull the plugs. Of course, he added his trademark humor to the whole presentation.

His action has however not impressed the regulatory board who have bared their teeth at him for the infringement.

Read the full statement as issued by (FCC) below:

The Film Classification Committee (FCC) of the National Film Authority has sighted pornographic content being shown on Prophet One TV.

In this content, Ebenezer Adarkwa-Yiadom also known as Prophet Opambour played a TV host recounting a sexual incident between a fetish priest (male) and a woman purported to be his client.

This content depicts patently lewd sensual scenes perceived by the FCC as inappropriate for free to air television

The FCC has publicly announced that all audiovisual content must be classified before the exhibition. In furtherance to this, all broadcasting channels have been directed to classify in-house content according to the film classification criteria given.

The FCC is requesting the management of Prophet One TV to provide the National Film Authority with the classification documents for all its in-house content including the pornographic content shown, by the close of day on 10th September 2021.

Kindly note that anyone who fails to comply with the film classification rules shall be subject to the Offences and Penalties in Section 27 and Forfeiture of Equipment in Section 28 of the Development and Classification of Film Act 935.
