According to the suspect, he entered the church with said weapon in order to ''kill the President'', since he despised the state of the economy and because he felt that he should be President instead.
In a statement released by the Communications Minister, Edward Omane Boamah, Charles Antwi, 36, was arrested after his 'fidgety and suspicious behaviour' caught the eye of the security personnel in the church, who preceded to escort him outside where he was searched and the 'weapon found' on him.
He told the court presided by Justice Francis Obiri that it was his birthright to become President. He said he was destined to be "sworn in as President when President John Atta Mills died".
He further stressed that he 'trying to kill the President was a way of fighting for the nation'.
In an interview on the Citi Breakfast Show, Wednesday, Madam Afia Agyapongmaa asked pardon for her son stating that ''he was not mentally stable, not one bit. I want to appeal to the public to help me ask the President for a pardon and treat his mental problem because I don’t have much''
She went on to state that ''when I heard that my son had been arrested, I was sad and very worried.''
