Followers of Obinim Storm Ghana Police Station over N1bn Fraud Allegation

Bishop Obinim the controversial ghanaian Pastors

Hours after Bishop Obinim handed himself over to the police, he was transferred from the Tema Regional Police Command to the CID Headquarters and slammed with an accusation that he defrauded someone of GH¢11.6 million (Approx. N1billion).

According to Modern Ghana, the pastor and some of his members were arrested after he reported to the station, and not long after, his followers, in their hundreds, stormed the station, demanding his release, with the threat that they would stay put and obstruct activities at the police command.

Recall that the drama started after the radical preacher was recorded on camera, flogging teenagers he accused of fornication. Following the outrage by Ghanaians on social media, Obinim dared the police to arrest him, labeling his country men as ‘hypocrites.’

In addition, Mordern Ghana claimed that Bishop Obinim defrauded one Bismark Kusi.

“Bismark Kusi, in a statement to the police, stated that on November 28, 2015 he parted with an amount of GH¢780,000 to one Okomfo Dzakpata of Mampong Nkwanta near Koforidua, to help him (complainant) manage the proceeds from the sale of gold belonging to the family.

In his desperation to recover the money from the said Okomfo Dzakpata, the complainant said he visited Bishop Daniel Obinim, also a charismatic preacher, for assistance.

Bishop Obinim, after being briefed about the issue, allegedly directed the complainant to bring the remaining money for blessing.

The complainant allegedly took the money to the bishop for blessing as he was directed, but after the prayers, he was instructed by Obinim to leave it with him for a period of two weeks.

When the two-week period elapsed and the complainant went back to for the money, Bishop Obinim purportedly fabricated stories.”
