A clip of the interview was shared on TikTok by Seven Ghana TV.

News of the impending split first emerged when blogger Ola Michaels shared a report in a Facebook video on September 1, 2026, disclosing that Florence's family had returned the "Tiri Nsa," a traditional token that formally signals a wife's intention to end a marriage.

Bishop Obinim's family reportedly accepted the token. The couple share three children, and Florence has been a consistent presence in her husband's ministry as a gospel musician throughout their union.

The interview triggered a wave of responses online, with opinions sharply divided between those who sympathised with Florence and those questioning her timing.
