Bishop Obinim’s Arrest Saga Takes New Twist as Kumasi Pastor Reveals Their Last Conversation

Reverend Kwabena Okyere, popularly known as Sofo Crush, has denied reports that Bishop Daniel Obinim has been arrested by the police amid his ongoing divorce dispute with estranged wife Queen Florence the Lioness.

The resident pastor at Bishop Obinim’s Kumasi church addressed the circulating allegations after claims of the bishop’s arrest gained attention across social media platforms on Monday, October 12, 2026.

The controversy comes amid reports that Queen Florence, a gospel musician formerly known as Florence Obinim, accused her estranged husband of threatening her life during their ongoing marital dispute.

According to reports circulating online, the alleged incident occurred on Saturday, October 10, 2026, when Florence reportedly returned home after performing at an event.

The reports claimed that Bishop Obinim allegedly confronted his estranged wife at the entrance of her residence and made serious threats against her.

Some accounts further alleged that Florence subsequently reported the matter to the police, who reportedly provided her with accommodation before the bishop was arrested.

However, these claims have not been independently established, and Sofo Crush has publicly challenged the reports suggesting that the founder of International God’s Way Church was in police custody.

In a video circulating on TikTok, the Kumasi-based pastor directly addressed the allegations, insisting that Bishop Obinim was not under arrest when he recorded his response.

According to Sofo Crush, he had personally spoken with the bishop shortly before making the video, using the conversation to support his denial of the claims.

“There is no truth in the reports. Our father, Bishop Obinim, is at home as I am speaking to you,” he said.

He further explained that he had called the bishop before recording the video and that the conversation had even awakened him from sleep.

“My phone call even woke him up. He was asleep. He had eaten and gone to sleep,” Sofo Crush added, seeking to reassure church members and followers concerned about the reports.

The pastor also suggested that the controversy was being fuelled by people seeking to create distractions for the bishop and his ministry.

His remarks appeared to frame the situation as an attack against the church, with references to spiritual opposition amid the growing public attention surrounding the allegations.

The denial has added another dimension to the controversy, which has attracted attention because of the couple’s reported marital difficulties and the serious nature of the allegations.

A TikTok video attributed to Sofomaame Agudie3Hemaa Crushwaa, another pastor associated with the church, also circulated online. The clip featured commentary alongside footage presented as addressing the bishop’s situation.

Despite Sofo Crush’s statement, his account alone does not establish whether any police investigation or other official action has taken place.

As of the information available in the reports, no independently verified police statement confirming Bishop Obinim’s arrest was provided.

The allegations surrounding the reported confrontation remain separate from the question of whether the bishop was arrested, and the claims should not be treated as established facts without official confirmation.

For now, Sofo Crush maintains that Bishop Obinim was at home when they spoke, directly contradicting the viral reports that had placed the controversial preacher in police custody.

The developments are likely to keep public attention focused on the bishop’s marital dispute, particularly as social media continues to amplify competing accounts of the situation.
