Barely a year after being suspended from the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC), Gospel musician Rev Josh Laryea has opened up on the allegations of sexual misconduct levelled against him.

Rev Josh Laryea in an exclusive interview Giovanni Caleb and Berla Mundi on Starr Drive revealed he contemplated suicide at the moment especially when everyone including mentors and friends had let him down.

“I may have gone mad, I may have been dead…At a point, I thought of suicide..,” Rev Josh Laryea said.

In 2017, a letter issued by The Church Council of ICGC where he worshipped stated they arrived at a decision to suspend Rev Josh Laryea after receiving a report against the pastor.

The letter indicated that “The Presbytery has authorised the Disciplinary Committee to look into the allegations levelled against Rev. Laryea”.
