Samuel Kwame Brako: Founder of Gyidi (Saviour, True Faith, Faith Salvation etc) Church

In 1875, the young Samuel Brako (also called Kwame Panin), his mother Afrah, uncles, other siblings and other family members migrated from Juaben in the Ashanti Region during the Second Kumasi-Juaben War of 1874-1875.
