Police have shut down the Fantasy Dome at the Trade Fair Centre in Accra.
The action comes after the youth of the Christ Embassy Church held a program at the venue on Friday, April 30, 2021, during which COVID-19 protocols were disregarded.
According to the Police, they are investigating the event which was organized on their blind side.
“Police have since Sunday morning locked up the Fantasy Dome and have started questioning leaders of the Church and Management of the Fantasy Dome about the event.” a police statement said.
It further stated that “any person found culpable will be arrested and duly prosecuted.”
Trending videos of the alleged gathering, dubbed “Pneumatic Night” showed a mostly unmasked crowd, screaming, chanting and dancing to the “evangelism” of their unmasked preachers.
Police said the act puts “the entire country at risk of spreading COVID-19.”
“The Police did not provide security for the said event. In fact, the organisers did not give notice of the event to any Police Officer or Station. The event, advertised as a Church Service which ordinarily did not require notice under the Public Order Act, was organized at the blind side of the Police.”
