General Overseer of the International Godsway Church, Bishop Daniel Obinim, has come under fire after a video emerged showing him instructing his followers to make seed offerings of at least GH¢20, dismissing smaller amounts as disrespectful to God.
In the video, Obinim urged those who had given GH¢5 or GH¢10 to retrieve their money to avoid it becoming a curse.
Despite facing significant criticism, Obinim has remained unfazed, stating that the negative feedback has not affected him.
Pushing back against his critics, Obinim emphasized his resilience, citing unsuccessful attempts by his adversary, Kennedy Agyapong, to tarnish his reputation.
During a church service, Obinim remarked, “Kennedy Agyapong, who tried to destroy me, couldn’t succeed. If he, with all his power and wealth, failed, how much less can you? Do you know the challenges I faced because of him? I’ve been summoned by the EOCO, BNI, GRA, National Security, CID, and various courts.”
In 2020, Kennedy Agyapong launched a campaign against certain pastors, accusing them of fraud and exploiting religion.
Agyapong clashed with several figures, including Obinim, leveling allegations of misconduct such as infidelity, money laundering, and spreading false teachings.
This conflict led to Obinim’s arrest by the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) and subsequent charges for spreading false information, fraud, and document forgery under sections 208 and 159 of the Criminal and Other Offences Act.
