Pastoral deception, perhaps, is an apt description of a failed relationship between a Salvation Army missionary and a beautician apprentice.
The Missionary Sergeant, identified only as Frank got Adjoa Oforiwaa to live with him for three years to enable him to head a church branch, with the promise of marriage.
The woman, who gave up her apprenticeship to go into such a deal, is now accusing Frank of cheating and is demanding compensation for wasted time.
Adwoa told Nhyira FM’s Obra host, Mama Effe that Frank’s grandmother persuaded her to accompany him to the Salvation Army Church branch at Asamang in the Ashanti Region.

She says the man has since failed to perform the marriage rites.
Adwoa says she discovered Frank was in amorous relationships with other women but her complaints to his family fell on deaf ears.
Adwoa says she left for her parent’s house where Frank followed her with her belongings purporting to end what he described as a ‘useless’ relationship.
Later, other relatives came to apologize and appeal to Adwoa to return, with the assurance of compensation and performance of the marriage rites.
None of these promises has since been fulfilled.
Frank declined to comment on the issue until he gets clearance from his church leadership, though he admits having a relationship with Adjoa.
