MONROVIA – The Monrovia City Court has issued a writ of arrest for Pastor Jenkins Johnson, General Overseer of the More Changes Ministry, following serious allegations of sexual and domestic violence leveled against him by his wife, Margret M. Johnson.
According to court documents, Pastor Johnson faces charges of Domestic Violence, Sexual Violence, Persistent Non-Support, and Disorderly Conduct.
Mrs. Johnson accused her husband of repeatedly assaulting her—physically beating and shoving her—and of forcibly engaging in anal intercourse without her consent, resulting in bodily injuries.
She further alleged that Pastor Johnson has abandoned his financial responsibilities, failing to pay their children’s school fees or provide basic support. The couple, married since 2013, share three children.
Adding to her distress, Mrs. Johnson claims her husband is involved with another woman living in their home, forcing her and the children to remain under the same roof.
The writ described Pastor Johnson’s alleged conduct as “unlawful, wicked, illegal, and intentional,” authorizing his arrest and appearance before the Monrovia City Court. He reportedly paid US$100 toward child support at the Magistrate Court on Friday.
Ongoing Legal Troubles
Pastor Johnson is no stranger to controversy. He was previously charged with kidnapping and criminal conspiracy in 2024 after being accused of unlawfully removing a teenage boy from his home and engaging in an affair with the boy’s mother—allegedly causing her marriage to collapse.
He spent seven days at the Monrovia Central Prison before being released into his lawyer’s custody.
Complicated Domestic Allegations
At the center of that earlier case was Musu G. Quaye, who faced similar charges. During her court appearance, she admitted to having the boy with her but denied abducting him. She claimed her newborn baby belonged to her husband, Mr. Quaye, who disputed her account, saying they had not been intimate for over 18 months and vowed to seek a DNA test.
Mr. Quaye accused Pastor Johnson of manipulating his wife under the guise of “spiritual deliverance,” telling her to “stay away from her husband”—a directive that led to their marital breakdown.
Mounting Legal Pressure
Despite appeals from Mrs. Quaye’s relatives for an out-of-court settlement, the cases continue. With two major legal battles now linked to Pastor Johnson—both involving allegations of abuse and spiritual exploitation—public scrutiny over his ministry’s conduct and the role of religious leaders in personal affairs is intensifying.
