Bishop Daniel Obinim

Nobody can punish Obinim – Aide
Anyone willing to take on Bishop Daniel Obinim for
flogging his children for fornicating "should
bring it on, we are ready to face them," an aide
to the controversial pastor has bravely stated.

In an interview on Morning Starr, Joseph Oppong
Brenya told host Nii Arday Clegg that nobody can
prosecute the founder of the International God’s
Way Church because he only disciplined his
“wayward” children.

The divisive miracle pastor has come under
immense criticism after a video circulating on
social media captured Bishop Obinim battering a
hapless pregnant congregant and her boyfriend.

The controversial pastor in the video appeared
angered by the couple’s amorous activity which
has led to a pregnancy.

As a result he took the law into his hands,
lashing the youngman on his bare back before
turning to the girl flogging her mercilessly with
a belt in the full glare of his congregation.

Throughout the brutal punishment, Obinim is heard
questioning the jobless youngman why he got the
girl pregnant when he has no finances for her
upkeep and the upbringing of the unborn child.

The girl who was unable to stand the flogging
attempts to escape, but she was held by henchmen
of the Bishop to enable the bishop mete out more
beatings.

Bishop Obinim’s conduct according to the
Director of Amnesty International Ghana Lawrence
Amesu is barbaric and criminal, warranting an
immediate arrest.

The Ministry of Gender, Children and Social
Protection has filed a police report against the
founder and General Overseer of the International
God’s Way Church, Bishop Daniel Obinim, over the
church flogging incident.

The sector minister announced on Thursday that
her ministry has filed the report at the Accra
Regional Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit
(DOVVSU) Office for investigations to be conducted
into the incident.

But Oppong Brenya stated that Bishop Obinim is
ready to face anybody who attempts to take him on
for his actions. According to him, Obinim
committed no crime and finds it unnecessary the
criticisms from Ghanaians.

Oppong Brenya also added that the church members
were happy Obinim disciplined the children in
public and have promised to bring their children
to be punished when they go wrong.

He added that anybody who has issues with
Obinim’s style should petition God and not the
court.

"If someone thinks Obinim erred Biblically then
that person should petition God."
