The Head Pastor of the International
God’s way Ministries, Bishop Daniel Obinim, has been acquitted and
discharged by an Accra High Court for allegedly assaulting a radio panelist at Hot FM, an Accra-based radio station in 2011.
In his ruling, the presiding judge,
Justice Abdulai Iddrisu said the prosecution failed to provide credible
evidence to back the charges against the accused, as the witnesses contradicted
themselves in court.
The judge further stated that the
prosecution failed to call relevant witnesses who could have given more
credible evidence in the case.
Bishop Obinim and his accomplices,
who were offended by a discussion where he was accused of allegedly
having sex with the wife of Pastor Williams Fobi, a junior pastor of his
church, was accused of going to the Adabraka-based radio station with a crowbar
and sticks to damage their property.
According to the prosecution, they
attacked the staff and vandalized studio equipment, and inflicted injuries on
the host and other panelists including Rev. William Amoako-Atta.
Shadrach Adu, a victim who managed
to escape, reported the issue to the Adabraka Police, after which the accused
persons were arrested.
