Controversial Ghanaian pastor and founder of International Godsway Church, Bishop Daniel Obinim has been arrested by the police.
According to local reports, Obinim has been on the wanted list of the police for a while now but has been trying to evade arrest.
He was reportedly arrested in his church on Thursday May 14, after the police received information that he was having a counseling session at the church.
It was gathered that after inspecting the arrest warrant, he told the police he needed a moment to change his cloth before leaving for the police station.
Bishop Obinim later emerged from his room only to tell the police he is terribly sick and can’t go with them to the police station. In fact, within that short period, the controversial pastor couldn’t even walk again.
The police went on to effect his arrest, and took him to a private hospital in East Legon, and placed policemen by his side.
Ghanaian politician and lawmaker representing Assin North in the parliament, Hon. Kennedy Ohene Agyapong also confirmed the arrest and also mocked the Pastor. He stated that he was shocked upon learning that Obinim faked being sick to evade arrest.
Obinim is famous for his controversial lifestyle, teaching and interpretation of the Bible. And, he seems to enjoy the uproar that trails his actions on and off the pulpit.
When Coronavirus was at its peak in China, and yet to enter Africa, Obinim launched an anointing oil which he said will protect those who use it against the deadly coronavirus and sold it to members for about N13,000 per bottle.
During one of his teachings, he advised women to go for plastic surgery to look sexy so that side chicks with bigger butt cannot steal their husbands.
