A Ghanaian preacher is being held by Ugandan police over fears that he may be using a magic device to "dupe" patrons. The pastor reportedly is given large sums of money from parishioners looking for miracle cures and help through financial crises.
The device in question is an Electric Touch device used by magicians to administer small electric shocks. Officials say they believe that "Prophet" Obiri Yeboah may be using it to convince churchgoers that they are receiving miracles.
One magic shop advertises the device saying, "With a simple touch, make a fluorescent bulb glow on and off at your command, make confetti move, charge a spoon and watch as it shocks a volunteer!"
