A house owner has devised a spiritual means to ensure that his electricity consumption is significantly reduced so he would pay less in utility bills.
The man bought two metres and placed his belief instrument in both of them.

In a video on X, the person who was capturing the moment indicated that the owner of the house attached the spiritual sobolo to the two Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) meters.
The owner believes that the sobolo, which he got from church, will reduce his power consumption and thereby his bills.
Even though he did not state the church where he bought the sobolo, many people in the comment section suggested that he got it from Prophet Stephen Adom Kyei Duah’s Believers Worship Centre.
Many described the ‘sobolo for reduced power consumption’ act as one that must not be done, considering that even the church they bought it from owed ECG bills at one point.
Stephen Adom Kyei-Duah, the Founder and Leader of the Believers Worship Centre, later settled the church’s longstanding debt to the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), amounting to GH¢308,741.16.
This payment, finalised recently, addresses the church’s accumulated bills that prompted the disconnection of its power supply on August 26, 2025.

“ECG should go to the house; there’s an illegal connection. If I see something like this, I just question myself, “Was the black man too created by God”? I have so many questions to ask God when I meet for the top there one.😢.”
