Pastor Prince Ahensah, Founder, President and Head Pastor of The World Changers Nation, and his wife, Maybel Ahensah, have come into the spotlight after their petition to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reportedly triggered investigations into an alleged Service Passport-selling scheme.
The couple are said to have paid an amount in dollars to secure Service Passports, alongside an expected United States visa. However, although they reportedly received the passports, the promised US visa did not materialise.
Reports suggest their decision to petition the Foreign Affairs Ministry followed what sources described as repeated unsuccessful attempts to obtain the visa after making the payment.
According to reports, the petition brought the matter to the attention of the Ministry and prompted inquiries into the circumstances surrounding the issuance of the travel documents.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs subsequently confirmed that Service Passports numbered SX060467 and SX0604687 were issued to Pastor Prince Ahensah and Maybel Ahensah on May 28, 2026.
The couple’s petition has since become a key part of the unfolding passport scandal, which has raised questions about alleged illegal payments and irregularities in the issuance of Ghanaian Service Passports.
It will be recalled that Yahaya Amantana Mahama has been interdicted pending investigations into alleged irregularities surrounding the acquisition of a service passport.
The interdiction is said to have followed a petition submitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs by a prominent Ghanaian pastor and his wife, whose identities have not been disclosed.
According to reports, the petition raised concerns about the acquisition of a service passport and other related matters.
In response, a five-member committee chaired by Ambassador Alexander Grant was reportedly constituted on October 13, 2026, to investigate the allegations and establish the circumstances surrounding the matter.
The committee is expected to present its findings to the sector Minister by the close of this week, barring any last-minute changes.
Meanwhile, Ambassador Francis Danti Kotia has reportedly been appointed to act as Director of Passports while investigations into the matter continue.
The development follows concerns raised by the Ranking Member of Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee, Samuel Abu Jinapor, who alleged that diplomatic passports were being sold for between US$10,000 and US$50,000.
In related news, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has handed over two of its officials to the Ghana Police Service for further investigations and possible prosecution over their alleged roles in an illegal Service Passport issuance scheme.
The officers are Acting Director of Passports, Mahama Yahaya Amantana, and a junior Foreign Service Officer, Alhassan Sumani.
Both have been interdicted as investigations into the alleged irregularities continue.
In a statement issued on Sunday, November 8, 2026, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the decision to refer the officers to the police followed preliminary findings suggesting that a syndicate had facilitated the acquisition of Service Passports by unqualified individuals in exchange for illegal payments.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs identified Alhassan Sumani, who joined the Foreign Service on November 29, 2024, as a central figure in the allegations, noting that his name featured in all the petitions received on the matter.
He is also alleged to have operated as a “goro boy” in 2023 before his recruitment into the Foreign Service.
The development stems from two petitions submitted to the Ministry on October 8, 2026, prompting Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa to establish a committee five days later to investigate the claims.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also disclosed that retired Ambassador Mohammed Habib Idris, who served as Director of Passports in 2023 when some of the alleged irregularities occurred, would be investigated by the security services.
The Ministry added that appropriate sanctions would be applied if he is found culpable.
They further reaffirmed their commitment to addressing the matter; the Ministry said everyone found to have participated in the alleged scheme would be held accountable.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs further assured the public that the investigations would be conducted with transparency, impartiality and fairness.
