Victim's Mother: I'll Curse Anyone Who Calls for Obinim’s Arrest–This is the Sort of Nonsense Poverty Perpetuates

It is this sort of nonsense that allows folks like Bishop Obinim to do whatever they want–and get away with it for free.
We’ve heard of assaulted wives dropping charges against their husbands for battering their faces, only to later be battered even more by these same husbands.
Shockingly, the mother of the young man who was flogged by Bishop Daniel Obinim at his church has stated that she will invoke curses on those calling for the pastor’s arrest.
Akua Bempomaa spoke to Joy News and said what Bishop did was in the right direction.
‘If Ghanaians do not stop condemning the pastor for correcting the children I will begin to invoke curses on them,’ the 72-year-old woman threatened.
Not just that,  Akua Bempomaa said she was very excited to watch ‘Angel Obinim’ discipline her son.
“He is our father, he has been taking care of me and my son since my husband died. He is the one paying my son’s school fees and has the right to discipline him when he goes wrong,” Lady Joy indicated in Twi.
Now, this is where poverty is talking—she said:
“When my husband died and we needed help, no Ghanaian intervened, not even my family. Angel Obinim took u in and enrolled my son in school so they should leave the ‘angel’ alone.”
She added: “Papa should have beaten her more. Imagine what would have happened if the prophecy had not come and she drunk the medicine to abort the baby.”
Of course, an illegality does not suddenly become legal because a mother or father sanctions it.
