Popular Ghanaian contemporary gospel musician and entrepreneur Jemima Annor-Yeboah, popularly known as Jayana, has opened up about the loss of her father, Bishop Dr Augustine Annor Yeboah.

In a snippet of an interview with media personality MzGee on the Just Being Us show, the musician was overwhelmed with emotions and shed tears as she recounted her father's struggles before his unfortunate passing.

According to her, Bishop Dr Augustine Annor Yeboah's health began to decline after his humiliating exit from the Christ Apostolic Church International in 2003.

Jayana noted that her father never recovered from the treatment he received from the church, where he served as a General Secretary and Chairman.

She claimed that the bad treatment from his old church ultimately played a part in his demise.

She said:

"I would say I was very bitter. A secretary of the church that had nothing, becoming a chairman, and then all of a sudden, it's like you have been stripped of everything. He was crying. His eyes were swollen. They took him away from us."

The 2020 Ghana Urban Gospel Music Awards' Female Vocalist Of The Year award winner said her father's death took an emotional toll on her life and eventually led to the collapse of her marriage a year after he passed away.

Musician Jayana is the second daughter of the late Bishop Dr Augustine Annor Yeboah. She is one of the five daughters the late church leader shared with his wife, Rebecca, before his untimely demise.

Who was Bishop Augustine Annor-Yeboah?

Bishop Augustine Annor-Yeboah was a prominent Ghanaian preacher who served as the General Secretary and Chairman of the Christ Apostolic Church International until his unceremonious exit in 2003.

The pastor was interdicted from the church by its Executive Council for alleged gross misconduct amounting to abuse of his office during his time as a leader.

The then acting General Secretary of the Christ Apostolic Church International, Reverend Michael Nimo, announced Apostle Augustine Annor-Yeboah's interdiction at a press briefing in Accra on March 10, 2003.

Shortly after his exit from the church, the reverend minister, who was a graduate of the University of Ghana, founded his own church, the Christian Praise International Centre (CPIC).

Bishop Augustine Annor-Yeboah served as the Presiding Bishop of the CPIC until he passed away at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra at the age of 64 on Thursday, June 26, 2014.

Apostle Okai speaks on Jayana's grievances

Speaking to YEN.com.gh, Apostle Eric Okai, senior pastor of Elim Church and relationship expert, shared his thoughts on Jayana's grievances with the Christ Apostolic Church International following her father's issues.

He said:

"Bishop Annor became an enemy to CAC after he broke away, and this is typically a bad norm among many religious organisations and even corporate bodies. They will not want to have anything to do with you, not even your shadow. Anything that concerns you is bad. I am sorry that Bishop Annor's family is feeling the heat from their dad's association with the church. Bishop Annor left a legacy which should compensate them for whatever pain they might have gone through."
