Management of gospel musician Esther Smith has strongly denied reports suggesting that Pastor Elvis Agyemang, founder of Alpha Hour, demanded or received money in exchange for prayers.
In a press release dated January 15, 2026, Esther Smith Music described the claims circulating on social media as false, misleading, and a gross distortion of facts.
The statement emphasized that Esther Smith and her team were treated with respect, dignity, and genuine pastoral care during their engagement with Pastor Elvis Agyemang and the Alpha Hour team.
“At no point was any amount requested, demanded, or charged for prayers,” the statement stressed, adding that adequate security and support were provided and all interactions were conducted with professionalism and integrity.
The management further highlighted that Pastor Elvis Agyemang has consistently demonstrated character, accountability, and transparency, describing him as a leader who can be trusted.
They therefore called on the general public, the Alpha Hour family, and fans of Esther Smith to disregard speculation, sensational headlines, and misrepresentations currently circulating online.
The statement also urged media practitioners and bloggers to verify facts and exercise responsibility to avoid publishing content that could mislead the public or damage reputations.
