A
pastor who made news headlines recently for subjecting his church
members to public humiliation for having s*x, has found himself in fresh
troubles.
Bishop Daniel Obinim
Bishop Daniel Obinim who is thought to
be one of Ghana's most controversial pastors is the founder of the
International God's Way Church.
The pastor made headlines recently
when he flogged two church members who happen to be his wards, during a
church service because they had s*x and attempted to have an abortion.
The Bishop was invited by police to
answer questions on the matter and he honoured the invitation by going
to the Ema Regional police station earlier yesterday.
However the man was arrested and escorted in handcuffs and transfered to the Accra Police Headquarters.
The man of God is not just being arrested for flogging people in church...there is a new twist.
According to Ghana media, the controversial Preacher is also being interrogated over a GH¢11.6 million fraud case.
The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) PRO, ASP Joseph Darkwa,
said a complainant came to the Tema Police some few weeks ago to report
that he gave an amount of GH¢780,000 to Okomfo Gyapata of Mampong
Nkwanta near Koforidua in the Eastern Region to do a spiritual ritual to
bless the money.
"According to the complainant, after some time, he realised
that the Okomfo was not able to help him neither was he able to give him
back his money, so he came to Bishop Obinim to report the matter so the
Bishop would help him retrieve the money and do the rituals to bless
the money for him," he said.
ASP Darkwa said it was based on that that Bishop Obinim asked him
to bring the rest of the gold money which amounted to GH¢11.6 million
belonging to the family.
The complainantt told the police since he gave the money to the
Bishop, he has not been able to do what he was expected to do neither
was he given his money.
The complainant said he gave the money to Okomfo Gyapata on
November 28, 2015, but the money he gave to Bishop Obinim was in June
this year.
The CID PRO told Joy News' Dzifa Bampoh on Newsnite that the
complainant has not lodged a complaint against Okomfo Gyapata as yet but
if it becomes necessary that they have to involve him, they would do
so.
"We have just commenced investigation into this issue, when we
finish we will hand him over to Domestic Violence Victims Support Unit
(DOVVSU) to investigate the domestic violence issue," ASP Darkwa said.
The congregation waiting for him to lead service at the Tema
Community 9 branch were disappointed as the junior pastors throng the
police station and they registered their disappointment upon seeing him
handcuffed into a police car to be transferred to Accra, Joy News
reports.
