A Deputy Minister in charge of Tertiary Education and Member of Parliament for North Tongu Constituency in the Volta Region, Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has advised self-acclaimed ‘angel’ Bishop Daniel Obinim to seek the counsel and guidance of a “true senior seasoned pastor” or gird himself up for more troubles ahead.
Hon. Ablakwa via his twitter handle (@s_okudzetoablakwa) on Wednesday, August 24, 2016, said the self-acclaimed angel could save himself and his church from destruction if he is willing to accept tutorials and guidance under the feet of a true senior seasoned pastor.
“What if this man rather needs a true senior seasoned pastor to guide, counsel and mentor him? On the other hand, (1) will he be humble enough to accept this kind of assistance that is most likely to save himself and his church from further destruction? (2)”
Mr. Ablakwa further questioned the credibility of Bishop Obinim as a true prophet of God but was quick to admit that he is just a mere mortal, therefore, did not have the power to judge and authenticate who a true pastor is.
“Be that as it may, I am not oblivious to the Biblical caution about the kind of prophets that will abound in the last days, but who am I (3) …a mere lay mortal to judge. (4)”
A video of the man of God flogging two teenagers he purports to be his step children went viral on social media recently, drawing widespread criticism and condemnation.
The criticism notwithstanding, ‘angel’ Bishop Obinim has defended the action insisting they deserved it for engaging in fornication and attempting an abortion.
Angel Bishop Obinim has since been arrested on Tuesday for allegedly defrauding under false pretense pending further investigations.
Tema Regional Police PRO, ASP Juliana Obeng later told the media that Obinim is being sent to the Police CID headquarters in Accra.
“The CID headquarters in Accra has called for Obinim’s docket so as I speak, Obinim is being sent to Accra with one of his accomplices…,” she told the media.
