Prophet Fire Oja Arrested for Defamation Against Musician Mzbel

Ghanaian prophet Jedidiah Henry Kore, popularly known as Fire Oja, was arrested on January 5, 2026, following a defamation complaint lodged by musician Mzbel. The arrest stems from a viral video in which Fire Oja made false claims about Mzbel's health, alleging that she had been hospitalized in Kasoa and warning her fans about the dangers of supporting her due to her supposed engagement in soul travel. Mzbel confirmed that Fire Oja has since pleaded guilty and issued an apology, leading to his release on bail after a brief period in police custody. Court proceedings are expected to follow as the case unfolds.
