A 20-year-old ex-girlfriend of Pastor Mensah’s, who claimed to have bore him a two-week-old baby, rudely interrupted the ceremony, which was initially scheduled for 9 a.m., only for officials of the Social Welfare Department to intervene and reach an agreement with the parties involved.
Scores of would-be couples who had queued for their turn to exchange vows looked on in perplexity as family members of Ms Mabel Patamia, the nursing mother, sang and cursed the pastor and his family members who had followed him to the registry to tie the nuptial knots.
Patamia’s mother, Madam Cynthia Patamia, could not come to terms with the events, following what she described as Pastor Mensah's initial proposal to the family to ask for her daughter’s hand in marriage.
"I'm surprised he could have a change of heart and make a U-turn two weeks after the delivery of his baby boy by my daughter," Madam Patamia bewailed.
An obviously embarrassed Pastor Mensah, who admitted to the Daily Graphic that he had initially proposed to marry Mabel, said he was surprised by the action taken by the family to denigrate him.
"I'm totally devastated and cannot come to terms with events. I'm not in the right frame of mind to grant you further interviews on this issue," he stated.
