According to the statement, interactions between Esther Smith\u2019s team and Pastor Elvis Agyemang, as well as the Alpha Hour team, were marked by respect, dignity and genuine pastoral care. \u201cAt no point was any amount requested, demanded, or charged for prayers,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

The management added that adequate security and support were provided throughout the engagement, stressing that all interactions were conducted with professionalism and integrity.<\/p>\n

The statement further described Pastor Elvis Agyemang as a leader who has consistently demonstrated character, accountability and transparency, noting that any portrayal suggesting otherwise is inaccurate and should be disregarded.<\/p>\n

The public, the Alpha Hour family and fans of Esther Smith were urged to ignore speculation, sensational headlines and misrepresentations currently circulating on social media.<\/p>\n

Management also called on media practitioners and bloggers to exercise responsibility by verifying facts before publication and avoiding content that could mislead the public or damage reputations.<\/p>\n
