According to report, a Circuit Court in Accra, Ghana, on Tuesday handed down the ruling against bishop Daniel Obinim of the International God’s Way Church and two other junior pastors for their roles in the assault following the viral video that showed Obinim and his pastors publicly flogging the young man and woman he described as his children in 2016.
It was gathered that the two lovers, had been involved in a s*xual relation that had eventually led to pregnancy. Obinim was subsequently arrested by police in the industrial region of Tema after he handed himself in following an invitation from the police over the widely publicized flogging.
While speaking on bishop Daniel;s arrest, the Ghana police said;
“We have just commenced investigation into this issue, when we finish we will hand him over to Domestic Violence Victims Support Unit (DOVVSU) to investigate the domestic violence issue.”
In the video filmed and broadcast on the church’s TV channel and later went viral on social media, Bishop Obinim was seen publicly flogging the two young members of his church wo were said to be living with him for indulging in fornication with a belt repeatedly.
It was gathered that the sexual escapades of the two resulted in a pregnancy and the lady has since delivered while the couple were months back filmed visiting Obinim with the new born. The young lady is said to be an apprentice beauty therapist, while the young boy is unemployed.
