Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported how a woman who recently relocated from the UK filed a complaint to authorities after her neighbour persistently preached loudly from his balcony at dawn.
In a video she shared, the woman was seen peeping through her window as the man passionately delivered his message, disrupting the peace of the neighbourhood.
When she finally confronted him, her concerns were dismissed, pushing her to escalate the matter to the authorities for action.
Scanty SZN weighs in on public preaching
During his show, Yawa of the Day, Scanty weighed in on the broader issue of preaching in public spaces.
The YouTuber didn’t mince words, calling for stricter enforcement of rules regarding public preaching in Ghana, especially on public transport.
“Those preaching in trotros should be sacked,” Scanty said firmly.
He referenced Ghanaian laws that regulate noise and public disturbances, pointing out that preaching loudly in shared spaces infringes on the rights of others.

Sharing a personal story, Scanty noted how he often felt judged whenever he put on earphones during bus sermons.
According to him, people would label him as 'demonic' for simply minding his own business in the face of these preachers.
He also recalled his university days, when some students would haul speakers outside just to preach at high volumes.
“Know when to preach and how to preach. I can’t go to an all-night and come back, only to hear you preaching at dawn,” he added in frustration.
The video of his comments on public preaching is below:
