The mother of the young boy who was publicly flogged by Ghanaian
pastor Bishop Daniel Obinim says she will invoke curses on those calling
for the pastor’s arrest while the mother of the girl said the beating
wasn't enough.
A Human Rights Lawyer Francis Xavier Sosu and two others have filed suits
against Bishop Obinim after several calls from lawyers and human rights
activists for his arrest.
In an exclusive interview on Joy News Friday, Madam Akua Bempomaa said the action of the controversial Bishop was a step in the right direction.
"If
Ghanaians do not stop condemning the pastor for correcting the children
I will begin to invoke curses on them,’ the 72-year-old woman
threatened.
In a video which has gone viral on social media, the Founder and leader
of International God's Way Church, who refers to himself a Angel Obinim,
is seen whipping a teenage girl and her boyfriend with a belt allegedly
for fornicating and attempted abortion.
Madam Akua Bempomaa said she was very excited to watch ‘Angel Obinim’ discipline her son.
"He is our father, he has been taking care of me and my son since my
husband died. He is the one paying my son’s school fees and has the
right to discipline him when he goes wrong,"
She called on all who are condemning the pastor for ‘putting the children in their right place’ to rather commend him.
"When my husband died and we needed help, no Ghanaian intervened, not
even my family. Angel Obinim took u in and enrolled my son in school so
they should leave the ‘angel’ alone."
On her part, the girl’s mother, who is also a member of the church feels the belting was not enough.
"Papa should have beaten her more. Imagine what would have happened if
the prophecy had not come and she drunk the medicine to abort the baby,’
she added.
Meanwhile, the Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Nana Oye
Lithur indicated in a Facebook post that her outfit has reported the
matter to the Tema Regional Police.
Justifying his action in another interview on Multi TV’s AM Show on Friday,
the controversial
man of God said he did it to instill discipline in the teenagers, adding
said his father Jesus Christ revealed to him while he was prophesying
that the two teens were planning to terminate the pregnancy.

Linda sef! When her husband died, Angel Obinim took 'u' in and enroll.... Anyway is beating n flogging d right way to give correction morally?
There''s a clear difference between being religious and being plain stupid.
Well,the pastor has no right to beat them.God showed him what they were upto & the only wise thing to do was to invite their parents & counsel them.
make them leave this pastor abeg wen the boy dey sleep for street dey out of skol dey suffer did any human right take him in like wise the girl.After all our lord logged people in the temple
Una don hear am naa.. So all this wailers should kindly shut up... The children are very naughty!
Na me talk am!
Long Live Lib!!!
They shld leave them nah,it's. Their belief n their pastor....wetin concern ppl sef,me I dey face my front asap
Yes he has the right to discipline them as their Guardian but must it be in the public? The parents are in support of the pastor, they should let the pastor be abeg
make una leave the man of God alone na. Unlimited freedom has caused a lot of wahala in this world.
Abeg make them leave the pastor alone jooor, human activist my ass
Na dem sabi mbok! Linda take note!
I don't see anything wrong with what the woman is saying, people should mind there business
Hmmmmmm God help us
Why not do that in private than coming out in public to disgrace them .
Religion, an opinion of the people, Karl Max wasn't wrong. God help us!
Hmmmm no comment.
#Somebody must to love me tonyt!!!
Biko,,there should check that woman,,even if he's the one that's paying for schoool fees,so he should keep on beating the boy or what,haba,,abeg the right thing should be done to that man........ #Lindatakenote
The Angel? Lol
Wow, brainwashing at it's best, because he enrolled him in school, he now has their lives in his hands?
Ok o....Angel of Satan
Religion, an opion of the people. Karl Max wasn't wrong after all, God help us...!
Fuck off! People should turn a blind eye to abuse?! Your dick! A duck! A dorky ass goose!
Opiate* psychedelic drug...like crack, cocaine or opium. Religion is what poor or dumb people use in the place of narcotics to try and remove them from reality.
Meant opium* Some people use religion for "escape"
Pastor Obinim slept with his pastors wife,while the children living with him slept with each other. They are learning what Pastor Oving did.THE PASTOR NEED SERIOUS DEL I VERSE NOW.
The only think i can see in what the parents of the boy and girl are saying is "money". If they had money, they wont allow another man flog their children disgracefully in public like that be it pastor or anybody. Povery is a disease
If the parents were very wealthy people, the pastor will not try that nonsense of flogging the children. It is not good to be poor
Yes ,is part of morally correction ,my bible said so,I don't know of ur own
Hmmmmm
Vivian no vex oo... Since wen I begin read LIB na only hmmmm u dey comment. Biko asi m ajuo... Gini na esi?
When it comes to human rights, the parents don't have an opinion as far as i am concerned. We are talking about the rights of the girl and boy flogged and not the rights of their parants. People are missing the point.
Human rights deals with the rights of the victims flogged and not the rights of the parents of the victims. The boy and girl flogged are not slaves for christ sake. When people wanted to stone a prostitute in the bible, Jesus said if you know you are without sin, cast the first stone. Was this how the pastor was flogged disgracefully in public when he used to sin before he became born again? How can you, a man even flog a pregnant lady? Do you want her to lose the pregnancy? All she needs right now is intensive care and vitamins and counselling instead of flogging her. He has no respect for ladies
The fact that you are helping to pay their school fees doesnt give you the right to flog them disgracefully in public. Their human rights have been abused because they are not slaves
why won't the pastor/guardian discipline the erring children when they are wrong? Are you saying they should be giving Medal for fornication and attempted murder of d unborn child. We should learn to differenciate b/w discipline and abuse so that we don't make ourselves the spoke person of d devil on earth.
He can discipline them at closed doors not openly and disgracefully. What if the baby watches it on the internet when he grows up?
