Ajagurajah said: 'I want my wife and children to fight during my funeral'.
In a recent Instagram live video, Bishop Asiamah, better known as Ajagurajah, made the startling claim that he wants his wives and kids to fight during his funeral. The spiritual leader claims that if his wives and children don't fight at his funeral, he won't be at peace in his grave.
Ajagurajah has predicted that after his death his children will gather and fight. He wants his relatives to quarrel and fight over his property and possessions. He even said that if they didn't fight, he wouldn't be able to sleep.
The bishop also said that if his wife didn't fight at his funeral, they wouldn't get any of his property. He reiterated that he wanted to see the women fight because if they didn't, they wouldn't get any of his stuff.
He said: "They will have to hold my funeral on a Tuesday night because no one will offer money there. I'm telling you, if I die without my family fighting, I won't go. You won't get any property if the women don't fight, so I want to see that.
On social media, Ajagurajah's statement has sparked debate and criticism, with many users expressing surprise and disbelief. The bishop's speech has been criticised by others as absurd and unnecessary.
The statement is also seen as encouraging conflict and bloodshed, which is contrary to the message of love and peace that many religious leaders espouse.
The issue of inheritance is a sensitive one in Ghana and many other African countries, often leading to family conflict and even violence. It is therefore imperative that spiritual leaders promote teachings of harmony, peace and forgiveness rather than encouraging conflict and violence.
Ajagurajah's statement serves as a lesson for everyone to be careful about what they say, especially those in positions of power. Although it is a fundamental right, the ability to speak freely should not be used to incite conflict, violence or any other form of harm against others.
