Ghanaian actress and media personality Xandy Kamel has publicly cautioned Pastor Elvis Agyemang to take the attempted arson attack on his church seriously, saying the incident should not be dismissed or treated lightly.
The warning follows a suspected arson incident at Grace Mountain Ministry’s auditorium, where a woman was arrested after CCTV footage appeared to show her pouring a flammable substance inside the building and setting it on fire. Authorities responded quickly, and the suspect is now in police custody as investigations continue.
In a video shared on her TikTok and social media accounts, Xandy Kamel urged Pastor Elvis not to let emotions or calls for immediate forgiveness distract him from pursuing a thorough investigation. She said that being a religious leader does not mean issues like this should be swept aside, especially when they could pose ongoing risks to congregants.
“You have to look closely at why someone would try to set your church on fire,” she said, urging caution and careful action rather than simply excusing the act because it occurred within a place of worship. She also suggested that identifying motives and ensuring accountability should be a priority.
Xandy warned that if the incident is not fully understood and appropriately addressed, future attacks could pose greater danger, potentially putting church members and even children at risk. Her remarks have sparked discussion online, with many people weighing in on how religious figures should respond when their institutions come under threat.
The woman accused of the act remains under police investigation, and church services have been temporarily disrupted while authorities examine the broader context of the event.
