ANGEL’ BISHOP OBINIM SICK, TAKEN TO HOSPITAL – CHURCH ADMINISTRATOR
Mr. Kojo Adu Boahene, Administrator of
God’s Way International Church on Wednesday informed an Accra Circuit Court
that Bishop Daniel Obinim, Founder of the church who is on trial was sick and
had to visit the hospital.
Mr. Boahene said: “My Lord Bishop Obinim
was not feeling well and he had to be taken to the hospital this [Wednesday]
morning and as such could not turn up in court.”
The trial judge Mrs. Abena Oppong
Adjin-Doku, noted that Bishop Obinim’s excuses of being sick is becoming too
many; “Next time I expect him in court.
Mr. Boahene further stated that Pastor
Kingsely Baah, the second accused is no longer with Bishop Obinim’s church,
hence he did not know his whereabouts.
Solomon Abraham, who is a co-accused was
however in court.
When the matter was called, Deputy
Superintendent of Police (DSP) George Amegah prayed for a date because the
Police was unable to get their next witness.
The case was adjourned to June 20, 2018,
as the prosecutor was going for his annual leave.
Bishop Obinim has been dragged before the
court for allegedly assaulting two adopted children – a 14-year-old girl and a
16-year-old boy, who lived with him in the presence of his congregation.
He is said to have conducted the act with
two of his pastors namely Kingsley Baah and Solomon Abraham. The two have been
charged with abetment.
They have all pleaded not guilty to the
charges and have been granted bail in the sum of GH¢10,000.00 each with one
surety each by the court presided over by Mrs Abena Oppong Adjin- Doku.
The Prosecution narrated that the
complainant, Irene Abochie-Nyahe, was a legal practitioner residing at
Community 17, Lashibi.
That on August 17, 2016, at about 1700
hours, the Accra Branch of the Church held a service, at which Bishop Obinim
claimed he had a revelation from God that the two alleged victims were engaged
in pre-marital sex, and the 14-year old girl was pregnant.
The prosecution said Obinim said the
victim was in the process of aborting the pregnancy and that the Holy Spirit
has directed him (Obinim) to chastise the (teenagers) in the presence of the
congregation.
According to the prosecution, in the full
glare of the church, Obinim allegedly removed his belt and assaulted them.
The prosecution said in the process, his
two pastors, Baah and Abraham, prevented the female victim from running away
from the said punishment.
The prosecution said the victim could not
bear the pain, hence she sought refuge with Mrs. Florence Obinim, but her
husband asked her wife to stay away.
He said the assault only stopped after
Obinim became content with the alleged punishment.
