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.
Okay ooh
ReplyDeleteThe 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
DeleteIf the parents were very wealthy people, the pastor will not try that nonsense of flogging the children. It is not good to be poor
DeleteWhen 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.
DeleteHuman 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
DeleteThe 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
DeleteHe punished them for wrong doing, the parents support him and he's also the breadwinner to the boy so no problems
ReplyDeleteTheir headache mbok
ReplyDeleteMama invoke am oooo please invoke it fast on those fools,animals APC bastards that are criticizing the heavily son for flogging ur son.
ReplyDeleteWHAT EVIL DID THE PASTOR DID THAT ANIMALS ARE CRITICIZING HIS HUH? THIS IS THE BEST CORRECTION A PASTOR,FATHER OR MOTHER WILL GIVE HIS SON OR DAUGHTER.

ReplyDeletePastor 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.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm
ReplyDeletewhy 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.
ReplyDeleteHe can discipline them at closed doors not openly and disgracefully. What if the baby watches it on the internet when he grows up?
