The Suame Divisional Police Command has given the General Overseer of the International God’s Way Church up to Monday to produce three individuals to assist in investigations into a case of conspiracy.
Bishop Daniel Obinim is alleged to be the brain behind a plot to bury snakes and bones suspected to be human parts at the church premises of a rival pastor, Prophet Ebenezer Adarkwa Yiadom, at Ahenema Kokoben, a suburb of Kumasi.
Bishop Daniel Obinim was at the police station Saturday morning after the police issued an arrest warrant for him.
Luv FM’s Elton John Brobbey who was at the police station reported that Bishop Obinim was given up to Monday November 30, 2009 to produce three person, two of whom are junior pastors of his church.
Narrating the incident to the police, Frank Annor, the complainant, alleged that he was contracted by Bishop Obinim last month to bury the bones and some candles at the worship centre for a fee of GH¢4,000.
But according to Annor, Bishop Obinim failed to honour his part of the contract. Annor, who was persistent in his attempt to get his money, rather suffered attacks on his life which, he said, made him report the matter to the police.
Police investigators led Annor to the worship grounds of Prophet Ebenezer Adarkwa Yiadom to exhume the items.
The bishop is said to have denied ever meeting Frank Annor and described the allegations as unfounded.
Fake miracles
Annor is said to have been infuriated by the posture of the “man of God,” and alleged that all the supposed miracles Bishop Obinim performs were stage-managed.
According to Annor, the people who are paraded as healed of certain ailments by Bishop Obinim are persons the bishop goes to contract from the Volta Region.
Annor alleged that the bishop could pay as much GH¢500 to a victim who would only act as lame, dead or unconscious to be revived by the bishop.
