Woman's Death Exposes Faith Leader's Secrets
12 Apr
Summary
- Charmain died six months after marrying a Ghanaian prophet.
- Hotel witness saw two men with the prophet visit Charmain.
- Prophet allegedly used drugs and domestic abuse claims.
Charmain Speirs, originally from Arbroath, Scotland, married Ghanaian prophet Eric Adusah in September 2014, only to be found dead in a hotel in Ghana six months later. Adusah, a televangelist, was arrested but later released due to insufficient evidence. A BBC investigation into her death uncovered significant omissions in Adusah's account of her final hours.
A hotel employee reported seeing two other men accompanying Adusah to Charmain's room late at night, a detail never disclosed to Ghanaian police. These individuals claimed to be praying, but their presence, along with Adusah's questionable alibi for leaving Ghana, raises serious concerns.
Post-mortem examinations indicated a heroin overdose, but Charmain's family and friends vehemently deny she used drugs or was suicidal. A second UK examination of her hair later proved negative for opioids, contradicting the overdose theory.
Further revelations indicate Adusah allegedly used multiple names and identities across different countries. Former partners described him as manipulative and controlling, with Charmain's son Isaac alleging physical abuse. Adusah, now residing in Maryland, USA, continues to preach but declined to answer specific questions about the allegations.
