They were said to have visited senior high schools and talked to the students on how to pass their examination and used the opportunity to extort money from the students without the permission of the school authorities.
For example, the police found that the suspects had extorted GH¢3,200 from victims in one of the schools.
Arrest
Briefing journalists, the Accra Region Police Public Relations Officer, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Mrs Effia Tenge, said the two were arrested after they had collected money from some students at a school at Nungua.
She said they lured the students through preaching and extorted money from them.
According to Mrs Tenge, the suspects told the students that they could only pass the exam when they gave offering, an act they described as ‘sowing a seed’.
She said the students were also asked to finance the purchase of Bibles which would be supplied to deprived communities.
Though the police did not find any evidence of the Bibles having been supplied, investigations showed that the two men had informed the students that those who had received the Bibles were interceding for them to pass their exam.
Appeal
During interrogation, Edem was said to have told the police that the group had been operating for some time now but he joined it about three months ago.
Mrs Tenge appealed to other school authorities to report persons who go to their campuses to perpetrate similar acts to the police.
According to her, investigations are underway to arrest other members of the group. She cautioned students to study hard since prayers alone would not help them pass their examinations.
