Former UT Bank boss and founder, Captain (Rtd) Prince Kofi Amoabeng, says his unwavering belief in God has sustained him through years of personal and legal trials, giving him peace even in the most uncertain moments of his life.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Joy News\u2019 AM Show on Monday, Mr Amoabeng said his faith has shaped how he has endured the challenges that followed the collapse of UT Bank and the long-running court case that ensued.<\/p>\n

\u201cI eat well, I sleep well, and I prayed to God and said, let me see the end of this,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd I surely will see the end of it, because I have a lot of life in me.\u201d<\/p>\n

UT Bank was among several indigenous financial institutions whose licences were revoked during Ghana\u2019s banking sector clean-up, a process that dramatically altered the country\u2019s financial landscape and plunged key industry figures into prolonged legal battles. For Mr Amoabeng, that period became deeply personal.<\/p>\n

Asked what the end of the case would mean to him, he dismissed any notion of celebration.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh really, it\u2019s part of my journey,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd for them, I wouldn\u2019t even celebrate it. No, I don\u2019t think I was celebrated.\u201d<\/p>\n

Instead, he framed the experience as divine correction rather than punishment.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just say that fine. This is how God kept me in check and for me to serve the purpose that I have to serve,\u201d he said. \u201cYou see, when you believe in God, things become easier.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked whether his faith was a recent development shaped by adversity, Mr Amoabeng said his belief in God was deeply rooted.<\/p>\n

\u201cIncidentally, yes,\u201d he said, before adding that he has never felt the need to publicly announce his faith. \u201cI don\u2019t owe anybody to tell you I believe in God or not.\u201d<\/p>\n

He acknowledged that his private approach to faith has often led to public misconceptions.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd therefore, sometimes I make a statement as they want,\u201d he said. \u201cThey say, \u2018Oh, that guy doesn\u2019t even believe in God\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

He recalled past criticism questioning his faith, including reactions to his comments about tithing.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I know at some point in time, they said, I don\u2019t believe in God, because I said something about tithe,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Tracing his spiritual foundation to childhood, Mr Amoabeng spoke about the influence of his grandmother.<\/p>\n

\u201cListen, I was raised by my grandmother,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd at age four, five, I\u2019ll go to church, Presbyterian Church, and sing.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said those early years shaped his values.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe gave me the fundamentals of the values that I have,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He also credited his parents, particularly his father, for reinforcing those principles.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was raised by parents who were really like my father was my best friend,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Those values, he said, define how he relates to people today.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause of the values that were instilled in me, I don\u2019t fear any human being,\u201d he said. \u201cOn the other side, I respect everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Mr Amoabeng, faith is not a performance but a quiet anchor, one that has allowed him to endure public scrutiny, legal uncertainty and personal loss with calm resolve.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
