By Alex Ababio — Investigative Special report
A storm that began in 2022 with the sudden death of Reverend (Mrs.) Evelyn Forson has taken a dramatic turn: popular Kumasi pastor and gospel singer Isaac Forson — founder of the True Faith Miracle Centre — has reportedly been charged with murder after renewed attention to the circumstances of his wife’s death and public pressure from his daughter, Abigail.
What happened — the timeline in short
• 2022 — Reverend Evelyn Forson dies under circumstances her daughter says were suspicious. Abigail told interviewers that, in Evelyn’s final moments, the Reverend pointed to Isaac and said, “Your father has killed me.” Abigail later said a post-mortem supported poisoning as the cause of death.
• 2023–2025 — A bitter public feud between father and daughter plays out on radio shows, social platforms and in police complaints. Abigail repeatedly appealed to authorities for a formal prosecution and made her case on air, most prominently on Oyerepa FM’s show hosted by “Auntie Naa.”
• 20 November 2025 — Abigail was arrested for a third time after an allegation — lodged by her father — that she broke into a shop formerly run by her late mother and stole goods. Abigail denied the accusation, calling it a manufactured attempt to intimidate her into dropping the murder complaint.
• Early December 2025 — Media reports quoting Oyerepa FM say the Attorney-General has advised that murder charges be preferred against Pastor Isaac Forson after examining the police docket; local outlets report that the pastor has been arrested and charged accordingly.
The claims and the counterclaims
Abigail Forson has been the most vocal public accuser. She has repeatedly told interviewers that her mother named Isaac as her killer before she died and that a post-mortem showed evidence of poisoning. “My mother accused my father of killing her with poison, and we’ve conducted a post-mortem that confirms it,” Abigail told reporters while begging for government intervention.
Isaac Forson — a familiar voice in Ghanaian gospel music and the leader of True Faith Miracle Centre — has, through court filings and public statements by proxies, denied criminal culpability; at the same time, he has used the police to press other complaints against Abigail, which critics say has escalated the family dispute into legal tit-for-tat. Abigail insists these reprisals are meant “to give me no peace” until she withdraws her complaint.
Forensics and evidence — what is known publicly
Public reporting indicates a post-mortem examination was performed that, according to Abigail and some media accounts, found evidence consistent with poisoning. Local online reports from 2023 quoted a pathologist’s finding and stated that the late Reverend’s body had remained in the morgue for months while the family and authorities argued over next steps. Those earlier reports were among the first to bring forensic questions into the open.
However, full forensic reports, laboratory results, and an official statement from the police or the Attorney-General’s Department have not been published in full in the public domain. The most recent media update — that the Attorney-General advised a murder charge and that Pastor Forson has been charged — comes via broadcasts and news platforms that cite a video by radio host Auntie Naa and court/police sources. Until prosecutorial papers and court records are released to the public, the precise evidential basis for the charge (toxicology results, chain-of-custody documentation, witness statements) remains opaque in open reporting.
Why this matters
This case sits at the intersection of faith, family and public trust. A well-known pastor accused of poisoning his spouse — by his own child — raises questions about how allegations against religious leaders are investigated, how family disputes may influence criminal procedure, and how forensic evidence is handled and communicated to the public. Abigail’s repeated appeals for authorities to act have tapped into broader anxieties in Ghanaian society about equal access to justice, especially where influential figures are involved.
Voices from the story
• Abigail Forson: “Government leaders should step in and ensure my mother gets justice. My father killed my mother and is now making my life miserable when I have done nothing to him.”
• Auntie Naa (Oyerepa FM): in a widely shared video update, she said she welcomed the Attorney-General’s advice and declared that “justice will always be served when I’m involved,” framing her broadcast as the turning point that pushed the docket toward prosecution.
What we could not independently verify
At the time of this report, we could not obtain: • a publicly available, unredacted forensic/autopsy report showing toxicology results;
• a formal press release from the Ghana Police Service or the Office of the Attorney-General detailing the exact nature of evidence that led to the murder charge; or
• court documents (charge sheet, remand papers) available online that would confirm dates of arrest, the exact charge wording and any bail conditions.
Because these records are central to understanding the strength of the prosecution’s case, their absence from public view is significant
Next steps — what to watch for
1. Official statements or press releases from the Ghana Police Service and the Attorney-General’s Department.
2. Publication of forensic reports or the filing of the charge sheet and initial court hearing records.
3. Any public response from Pastor Isaac Forson or his legal representatives in court filings or a press statement.
4. Independent media attempts to obtain toxicology and autopsy documents or responses from forensic officials.
