Bank Crisis: Otabil has demonstrated 'highest level of integrity'- ICGC

The statement by the church comes on the heels of a Bank of Ghana (BoG) report indicting the board of now defunct Capital Bank of collapsing the bank.

The International Central Gospel Church (ICGC) says its head pastor and founder, Mensah Otabil, has demonstrated the 'highest level of integrity' in his dealings.

"Throughout this period, you have demonstrated integrity at its highest level before us," the leadership of the church said in a statement.

"At a time like this, we affirm our loyalty to you and celebrate you as the embodiment of Christian character."

The statement by the church comes on the heels of a Bank of Ghana (BoG) report indicting the board of now-defunct Capital Bank of collapsing the bank.

Mensah Otabil was the board chairman of the bank.
