The Catholic Diocese of Konongo-Mampong has revealed that suspended priest Rev. Fr. Samuel Adapore has been found at the Police Training Centre in Koforidua, Eastern Region. In their statement on August 27, 2026, the Diocese clarified that Fr. Adapore made the decision to enroll at the facility "on his own and singular volition."
He was suspended on August 24 and barred from administering sacraments and celebrating Mass. This move sparked social media criticism and questions about his welfare and the grounds for the suspension. The Diocese stated that investigating a priest's well-being can proceed alongside disciplinary actions. They affirmed that the suspension merely limits certain priestly functions, not his priestly status.
The Diocese emphasized the confidentiality of its handling, asserting that canonical discipline aims to protect ecclesial order, address scandals, and promote reform and restoration.
