Bishop Obinim granted bail

Controversial founder and leader of the International God’s Way Church Bishop Daniel Obinim has been granted bail.

The Bishop has been detained at the Nima Police Station since Tuesday after he was transferred from the Tema Police Command to the CID Headquarters in Accra.

He was being held for assaulting two church members before his congregants as well as facing defrauding by false pretense charges in a Gh¢11.6 million case.

Bishop Obinim after two days interrogations by the police was to face court Thursday morning for assault charges but according to Adom News correspondent, Komla Adom, there was no show in court.

Reporters at the court premises were told the police said they were called to return to the office. Further checks revealed that the Bishop had been granted bail.

However, it is not clear what the charges for which he granted bail is.

Komla Adom reports meeting many people jubilating at Bishop Obinim's residence.

Since his incarceration, many members of his church thronged the Nima Police Station demanding his immediate release.

This morning, some church members all bathed in powder were sighted by Joy News who said they were jubilating in anticipation of his release.
