Speaking directly about the accusations during the service, Obinim flatly denied that he had made any move to harm Florence amid their ongoing divorce saga.

The controversial Ghanaian pastor noted that he would not benefit from Florence's death and that he would even incur extra expenses, as her family and children would require him to fund the purchase of her casket and also sponsor her funeral.

Obinim also denied claims that he had threatened to burn his estranged wife and her car during a recent encounter at her residence, stating that they were falsehoods created by certain individuals on social media.

The allegations against Obinim follow what appears to be a turbulent separation from Florence, with the estrangement drawing significant public attention in Ghana.

On Monday, 12 October 2026, reports emerged on social media that Bishop Obinim had landed in police custody.

He was accused of allegedly making some serious threats against his estranged wife at the entrance of her residence after she returned home from performing at an event on Saturday, October 10, 2026.

Some reports indicated that Florence subsequently reported the matter to the police, who provided her with accommodation before arresting Bishop Obinim.

The reports of a threat and a subsequent arrest added a dramatic new chapter to what has become one of the country's most closely watched celebrity church stories.

Obinim's public denial marks a significant moment in the ongoing saga surrounding his relationship with Florence, with many Ghanaians closely watching how the situation develops.
