Founder of the International God’s Way Church Bishop Daniel Obinim has been transferred to the Accra Police Headquarters for further questioning after he turned himself in to the Tema police.

Bishop Obinim honoured the invitation by the police in connection with investigations into reports that he publicly flogged two young adults of his church for allegedly indulging in fornication which is said to have resulted in a pregnancy that was aborted by the young adults.

The flogging is said to have been captured and broadcast on the church's TV channel and later went viral on social media.

Following the release of the footage on social media and the subsequent public condemnation, the Minister of Gender, Children and Social Protection, Nana Oye Lithur, reported Bishop Obinim to the Accra Regional Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit (DOVSSU), while another person also lodged a complaint against the bishop at the Tema Regional Police.

A private legal practitioner, Lawyer Francis Xavier Sosu, has also dragged Bishop Obinim to court for flogging the two.

The controversial pastor who has not been charged by the Police had to transfered after his supporters started massing up at the police station where he reported himself.

According to Starr FM’s  Wilberforce Asare, Bishop Obinim is likely to be cautioned for his behaviour by the Police.
