Rev. Father Peter Kusi Twumasi, the acting rector of St. Stephen Rectorate in Bodomase, Ashanti Region, has issued a formal apology to the Catholic community after leading his congregation in singing King Paluta’s song “Aseda” during a church service.
A video of the incident shows members of the congregation energetically joining in the singing of the secular song, which has since sparked a range of reactions from fans and social media users.
In his statement, Rev. Father Twumasi expressed regret for allowing a secular influence into a sacred setting, acknowledging that his actions had caused both confusion and offense. “I realize now that my mistake has caused offense and confusion, and for that, I am truly sorry,” he said.
He extended his apologies to the Bishop, the Diocese, the National Liturgical Commission, and the entire Catholic community for any scandal or discomfort his actions may have caused.
