“Today the 1st of April 2020, I announce to all those who have links with me that I have resigned from the PCC from this day forward, and I cease from being a pastor of the PCC,” said Bah in response to a suspension letter dated Friday, March 27, 2020 signed by PCC Synod Clerk, Rev. Miki Hans Abia following a Friday, March 20, 2020 meeting of the Synod Committee Executive, Exco in Buea.

The hierarchy of the PCC indicted Bah for running a “Parallel Ministry” within the Presbyterian Church in Cameroon which is contrary to the vows he made at his ordination. The one month suspension, the Synod Clerk says, comes after Rev. Bah failed to heed to an earlier caution from The Secretary Committee of the Ministry among others.

The PCC Synod Clerk thus informed Rev. Bah as follows: “That you Bah Pius Inobuh have not desisted from your online and offline ‘Parallel Ministry’ activities, especially the collection of funds you cannot account for in the fashion of the PCC.

“Some of your activities and pronouncements intentionally and regrettably cast a slur on the PCC which we consider are aimed to deviate Christians to your self-styled ministry. You have remained defiant to hierarchy’s attempt to deter you from your own style of ministration. The Synod of 2019 that held in Buea (20/11/19) had warned you and sent some persons to counsel you on the merit of your ministry, but sadly you did not heed to the counsel, and this is unacceptable to a Church of Order and Discipline like ours.”

In the light of the aforementioned “violations”, the Rev. Bah was suspended from the Ministry of Word and Sacraments of the PCC for one month – from Wednesday, April 1, 2020 to Thursday, April 30, 2020.

Without responding to the charges brought against him, Bah chose to bang the door to a Church that trained him right up to his Master’s Degree. Bah was authorised as a PCC Pastor in 2005 and ordained by then Moderator, the Very Rev. Dr. Nyansako-ni-Nku on December 12, 2007 at PC Azire in Bamenda.

After about 15 years of service within various ranks of the PCC, Bah says he is now walking away from the Church along with his wife and children after due prayers, considerations and seeking the face of God.

“The PCC has a very strong organigram and good structure as laid down by the early Church Fathers but it has been tampered with everything and the Sacredness of the Holy Sanctuary for which I refuse to be a part,” Bah said. He says he has chosen to continue preaching both on the online and offline.

Rev. Bah’s resignation follows that of Rev. Anye Mo Anye, Pastor of PC Souza who resigned following apparent misunderstands with the hierarchy of the PCC.
