38-year-old man jailed for life for murdering Assemblies of God pastor.

After nearly seven years of legal battles, a somber chapter has closed with a guilty verdict in the murder case of Rev. Dr. David Nabegmado, the Senior Pastor of Central Assemblies of God Church, Tema. The verdict, delivered on Wednesday, May 14, by a seven-member jury, marks the end of a long journey for the family, friends, and congregation of the beloved pastor who was tragically killed in 2018.

The perpetrator, Francis Nabegmado, a relative of the deceased, committed the heinous act on December 30, 2018. His motive, as he claimed, was rooted in the accusation that Rev. Dr. David Nabegmado was a false preacher, deeply involved in idol worship and human sacrifice. This shocking claim added a layer of complexity to an already heart-wrenching crime, leaving many struggling to comprehend the depths of such a betrayal.

“Following a comprehensive summation by Justice Mary Maame Ekue Yanzuh, which meticulously reviewed the evidence, testimonies, and legal arguments presented over the course of the trial, the jury deliberated briefly before reaching a unanimous decision. Justice Yanzuh’s summation provided a clear and concise overview of the case, ensuring that the jury had a firm grasp of the key issues at hand before commencing their deliberations.”
