Bishop Daniel Obinim has said he knows nothing about an alleged GHS11.6 million gold fraud leveled against him by a complainant.

The founder of the International God’s Way Church, who spent Tuesday night in the cells of the Criminal Investigations Department of the Ghana Police Service at the headquarters of the law enforcement agency in Accra, was transferred to the Nima Police Station on Wednesday morning where hundreds of his church members massed up to demand his release.

Lawyer for the controversial cleric, Mr Samuel Atta Akyea, In an interview noted that his client has denied defrauding the complainant in question by false pretence as alleged against his.

Mr Obinim was reported to the CID by the complainant, who parted with the said amount to the man of God for spiritual assistance but to no avail, thus, his arrest.

Meanwhile, Bishop Obinim and one of his associates have also been charged with assault.
He was reported to the Domestic Violence and Victims’ Support Unit of the Ghana Police Service after a video went viral on social media showing him flogging two teen lovers in church with a belt for fornicating.

TOPNEWS1 has learnt that Bishop Obinim and his associate will answer to charges of physical and verbal assault of the teen lovers after investigations into the fraud case.
In the said video, Bishop Obinim was captured whipping the two lovers – his adopted children – for having sex with each other and attempting to abort a pregnancy. Not even the intervention of his wife could stop him from meting out the corporal punishment to the teenagers.
