In 2014, Obinim was seen on television stepping on the belly of a woman in a "deliverance" [1][2][3] This led the Amnesty International in Ghana to call for his prosecution for assault.[4]
Declarations
Daniel Obinim has made several public controversial declarations.[5] He declared he was an angel of God, which led to the name "Angel Obinim" given to him by his church. He also seemed to have conjured a passport for a church member who lost his. In 2016, he told his church he could transform himself and others into objects and animals. Jon Benjamin, the British High Commissioner to Ghana, ridiculed him for these claims over Twitter.[6]
Following the arrest, hundreds of his church members besieged the police station where he was held to demand his release, a move that was seen to be the first of its kind involving a religious leader. They also threatened not to vote for the current government in Ghana's upcoming election in December 2016 if Obinim is not released.[9] The protesters were dispersed with a water cannon.[10]
