I have never met my accuser – Obinim
Embattled religious leader Bishop Daniel Obinim
has said he has been framed up in the fraud
allegation that led to his arrest.

According to the controversial preacher, who was
granted bail a while ago, he had never met, seen
or spoken to his accuser until his arrest by the
police.

“I have no idea of the young man. I have never
set eyes on him before in my entire life. As I
looked at him at the police station, I asked
myself; how can a young man who has probably never
been to school, have that much money to be given
to me?

“I know he is just being used to embarrass me
as a man of God. But I warn him, he should go and
ask about all the people who started picking
issues with me and how they ended up. If I am a
true man of God, then let my God speak for me. You
cannot disgrace me like this and go free, my God
will speak and you will all see what will happen
to them and their families,” Obinim told an
enthusiastic crowd at his residence in Accra after
his release from cells.

The controversial pastor was chained at the
Police Headquarters over allegation that he
defrauded a business man in the sum of GhC¢11.6
million and publicly flogging two of his church
members.

Ardent followers of Obinim were bused to the Nima
Police Station and the Police Headquarters on
Wednesday to demand his release. The irked church
members clashed with the police leading to the
arrest of a lady. They have vowed to vote against
President John Mahama come the December 7
elections.

He was however granted bail Thursday after
spending two nights in cells.
