Obinim

The Founder and Leader of the International Gods Way Church, Bishop Daniel Obinim was once again arrested by the Ghana Police Service and arraigned before court.

The man of God who has been the subject of attacks by Assin Central Member of Parliament (MP) was arrested and charged for engaging in a gold scam.

According to a statement from the Police, Angel Obinim as he is referred by his church members was charged with forgery of false documents and publication of false news contrary to sections 208 and 159 of the criminal offences Act 1960 (Act 29) which he used against one of his former junior pastors.

The trial judge, Rosemond Agyire granted the bail when the Lawyer of Obinim, Raphael Opoku Adusei told the court his client is innocent and not fit as he was admitted at the hospital last week.

He was subsequently granted GH¢100,000 with three sureties, one to be justified which left him in the police custody as at last night.

Ken Agyapong had alleged that Angel Obinim used the insignia of the Ghana Police Service illegally to declare one of his junior pastors allegedly stealing his money which was meant to be transferred to Spain to purchase some instruments.

Mr Agyapong, since the start of his exposé, has said he will not only strip Bishop Obinim off his glory but will also make the law deal with him.

He has also alleged that Bishop Obinim does not pay his taxes for the two guest houses in Accra and Kumasi.

Angel Obinim will re-appear before the court on June 1.

Below is the full statement from the Police:
