Obinim Should Be Arrested For Whipping Church Member – Amnesty International

The director of Amnesty International in Ghana, Lawrence Amesu, has categorically condemned the actions of Bishop Daniel Obinim in lashing a pregnant church member in a new video that’s circulating on social media.
The video shows the Bishop, founder and leader of the International Godsway Church, ‘disciplining’ two church members, a male and a female, for fornicating and getting pregnant way before their time.
The video has drawn condemnation of the controversial bishop, who had gone quiet for a while now but as usual is returning to the limelight with something contemptible.
Speaking on 3Fm, Amesu said the Bishop’s actions should be roundly condemned, and that he has to be arrested for his conduct.
“…For Amnesty International, we think that Bishop Obinim is going beyond his jurisdiction at this time. This is a criminal offence [and] he should be arrested by the Police.” Amesu said.
“So it is up to us now, at this time to come together to put more pressure on the police to arrest Bishop Obimim” he added.
For his part, aides of the bishop say he was justified in his actions as the bible says “Whoever spares the rod hates their children, but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them.”
