Though Bishop Daniel Obinim, Founder of the International God's Way Church (IGWC) has been released on a self-recognisance bail after his arrest over an GHC11.6 million fraud, his troubles seem far from over as he faces a possible court action over a GH¢217,000 illegal electricity connection case.
The Accra East branch of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) is preparing to drag him to court for illegally fixing new post-paid electricity meters at his guest house, OB TV premises and his personal residence.Â
According to the ECG's Loss Control Coordinator, Jonathan Asante, after his the old meters were blocked for non-payment of GH¢27,000 in bills, the controversial pastor replaced them with new ones and checks by meter readers on the new meters between March and August this year showed an accumulated bill of GH¢217,000.Â
Mr Asante disclosed that Bishop Obinim by his congregation is expected to face a special court on September 3 adding that payment of old debt is a recovery of the debt owed.
He explained that this does not remove any offender from being punished because the law has been broken.
