The body of Charmain Speirs, 40, was discovered in a hotel bathtub in Accra, Ghana, on March 16, 2015—just six months after she married Eric Adusah, the head pastor of Global Light Revival church. British authorities charged Adusah with murder, but within weeks, Ghanaian prosecutors dropped all charges, citing insufficient proof of foul play.

Now, a new investigative podcast, *Charmain and the Prophet*, reveals that Speirs was on a covert mission in Ghana to expose Adusah’s alleged double life—including a second marriage, a different name, and a string of emotional abuse claims from former partners.

Elma Adams, 82, a longtime supporter of Adusah who helped establish his Edinburgh church branch, told investigators Speirs confided in her about her husband’s controlling behavior. "She was very resentful at the end," Adams said. "She felt like she was an acquisition, not a wife."

Speirs, originally from Arbroath, met Adusah through a Christian dating site in early 2014. Their relationship progressed rapidly; they married in September 2014, with Speirs assuming the role of "first lady" in Adusah’s church. But behind the public facade, friends say she was financially dependent, isolated, and subjected to verbal insults about her appearance.

Anne-Marie Bond, a friend who visited the couple’s Essex home, said Speirs told her, "He is not who he says he is." Bond recalled Speirs mentioning Adusah had multiple identities and other romantic partners before their marriage.

Four women, including Speirs, have now come forward alleging emotional and psychological abuse by Adusah during their relationships. Two of them claim they contacted Speirs in late 2014 to warn her, but she remained conflicted—caught between faith in her marriage and growing distrust of her husband.

Speirs’ son, then seven, was left in the care of church members during her final trip to Ghana. According to a statement by a church friend to British police, Speirs called on March 15, 2015, saying she had uncovered evidence of Adusah’s deception and planned to confront his family. She was found dead the next day.

The podcast includes a phone log from the Ghana trip, showing Speirs contacted her husband’s relatives multiple times before her death. Investigators later confirmed she visited an address linked to a woman claiming to be Adusah’s second wife. No charges have ever been filed in relation to these claims.

Adusah, now 54, continues to lead Global Light Revival, which operates churches in London, Manchester, Dublin, and Edinburgh. Church officials declined to comment on the allegations, citing ongoing respect for Speirs’ family. Adusah has never been criminally convicted of any offense related to Speirs’ death.
