Fresh Details Emerge In Bishop Obinim-Florence Divorce Saga

According to a report by The BBC Ghana today being Friday, October 23, 2026, Florence Obinim has reportedly taken legal action against Bishop Daniel Obinim, seeking GH¢5 million in damages over alleged defamatory statements made against her during a church gathering.

According to details of the lawsuit, Florence is challenging remarks allegedly made by the founder of the International God’s Way Church, who reportedly described her as “mad” in front of members of the Abroso Family Church. The alleged incident occurred during the reading of their divorce settlement.

The development has attracted attention because of the serious nature of the allegations and the substantial amount of money being demanded in compensation. Florence is seeking GH¢5 million from the clergyman, arguing through her legal action that the alleged comments warrant the intervention of the court.

Apart from the financial compensation, Florence is also asking the court to issue an order preventing Bishop Obinim from mentioning her name during public discussions. The requested restriction would reportedly cover statements made in church gatherings and on social media platforms.

The legal action is intended to address the alleged defamatory remarks and prevent similar incidents from happening in the future. However, the claims remain allegations presented in the lawsuit, and the court will have to consider the matter before making any determination.

Reports indicate that the case has been filed at the High Court, where the issues raised by Florence are expected to be considered through the appropriate legal process.

The dispute has drawn public interest because it involves two personalities whose relationship has previously attracted attention, particularly in connection with their divorce proceedings.

As the matter moves through the legal system, further developments may provide additional information about the claims, the response from Bishop Obinim and the court’s eventual position.

For now, the GH¢5 million demand and the request for an order restricting public references to Florence remain key aspects of the lawsuit. The outcome will depend on the evidence presented and the court’s assessment of the issues before it.
