The founder and leader of the Heavens Gate Ministry, Nicholas Osei, popularly known as Kumchacha, and several other prophets in Accra visited the police headquarters in Accra to solidarise with Bishop Daniel Obinim.
“Kumchacha is known to be someone who has been fighting for and defending men of God in Ghana accused of various wrongdoings…God has given me the gift of intercession and I always intercede for men of God and Christians who go into trouble…we are on our way to the place,†the prophet told Accra-based Adom FM.
It comes after the Criminal Investigations Department of the Ghana Police Service detained the founder of the International God’s Way Church on Tuesday, for allegedly defrauding an unnamed man of GH¢11.6 million.
Obinim was grabbed by the CID at Domestic Violence and Victims’ Support Unit of the Ghana Police Service in Tema where he had heeded an invitation for him to appear for beating two teenage members of his Church.

Information gleaned from Ghana police sources indicate that an unidentified man had gone to Obinim to help him (the man) retrieve an amount of GH¢780, 000 from a fetish priest.
Obinim is said to have told the man to bring an amount GH¢11.6 million which his family had earned by selling gold.
The man, according to police sources, brought the money in the hope that Obinim would help him retrieve the GH¢780, 000.
However, a month after he made the money available to the bishop, he did not him retrieve the money from the fetish priest neither did he return the GH¢11.6 million.
The development prompted him to file a complaint with the police, leading to Obinim’s arrest.
Obinim has been charged with defrauding by false pretense and was expected, as at the time of filing this report, to spend the night in police cells, and face interrogation on Wednesday.
