Ghana police has disclosed that investigations are ongoing on the alleged gathering by Christ Embassy Church at Trade fair centre Accra on Friday, April 30, 2021 in flagrant disregard of COVID-19 protocols. It said that trending videos of the alleged gathering showed a non mask wearing mass crowd, screaming, chanting and dancing to the evangelism of non mask wearing leaders, thereby putting the country at risk of spreading COVID-19. The Force said, "The police did not provide security for the said event. In fact, the organisers did not give notice of the event to the police officer or station. The event, advertised as a church service which ordinarily did not require notice under the police order act, was organized at the blind side of the police. "Police have since Sunday morning locked up the Fantasy Dome and have started questioning leaders of the church and management of the Fantasy Done about the event. Any person found culpable will be arrested and duly prosecuted." Meanwhile, on Sunday morning, Police officers had laid surveillance at the Christ Embassy Service Centre at UPSA where similar programme was held with all COVID-19 protocols being observed. The Force stated that actions that breach the Imposition of Restrictions Act, will be subjected to the sanctions imposed by law
