The family of late Prophet Elisha Osei Kofi has publicly addressed accusations of occultism directed at him, speaking out for the first time since his burial in Ghana. Prophet Osei Kofi passed away on February 13, 2026, and was buried on September 19, 2026, at the Central Band, Police Depot, Tesano, Accra. Hours after his burial, allegations of the late Prophet Osei Kofi being a member of a secret society or occult group surfaced on social media, prompting the family to hold a press conference on September 23, 2026.
During the press conference, the late prophet's family head, Nana Kwadwo Danso, forcefully rejected any suggestion that the late prophet was involved in occult practices, insisting that such claims were unfounded. He distanced the deceased from any fraternal orders, civil society groups, or organisations that critics had attempted to link him to, stating clearly that Prophet Elisha Osei Kofi was not affiliated with the groups being cited in the allegations.
The family head directly responded to a wave of social media commentary that had followed the prophet's passing, dismissing the claims as a misunderstanding of who the man truly was. He stated that Prophet Elisha Osei Kofi was a devoted man of God, and his life's work was dedicated to serving God in truth. The family also denied allegations that a ritual was performed before Prophet Osei's burial.
The allegations of occultism emerged just days after Prophet Osei Kofi's burial, with many taking to social media to express their shock and disappointment. The family has threatened to take legal action against any individual or organisation that would peddle false claims about the late preacher. This move aims to protect the family's reputation and that of the late prophet.
Prophet Elisha Osei Kofi's final moments have also been a subject of discussion, with a family friend claiming that the founder of Springs of Grace Executive Fellowship complained of chest pains before being rushed to hospital. The preacher's reported death on February 13, 2026, sparked widespread grief and renewed discussions about hypertension and cardiac health.
The family of late Prophet Elisha Osei Kofi has urged the public to disregard the allegations of occultism, stating that they are unfounded and aimed at tarnishing the late prophet's reputation. The family has called for respect and understanding during this difficult time, as they continue to mourn the loss of their loved one.
