Controversial Ghanaian preacher, Bishop Daniel Obinim, founder and leader of God’s Way International Ministries, has publicly denied fresh allegations of infidelity, insisting he has not been involved with any woman outside his marriage since 2017.
The clergyman addressed the claims in a statement on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, after rumors resurfaced online questioning his marital conduct
“I have not had an affair with any woman since 2017,” he said. “People can say what they like, but I know where I stand before God and my family
He did not name the source of the latest claims, but noted that accusations about his personal life tend to reappear whenever his ministry is in the public eye.
The bishop has faced similar allegations in the past, which he has consistently denied. He has often said that criticism of his lifestyle and ministry is part of the scrutiny that comes with his high-profile role in Ghana’s Pentecostal space.
Daniel Obinim is one of Ghana’s most recognizable and divisive religious figures. He leads God’s Way International Ministries, a church with a large following in Accra and other parts of the country.
He is known for his flamboyant style, bold prophecies, and confrontational approach to critics. Over the years, he has also made headlines for controversial teachings, public stunts, and clashes with other clergy.
Despite the criticism, Obinim maintains a loyal congregation that credits him for spiritual guidance, healing services, and financial breakthrough prayers. His sermons and public appearances frequently trend on social media.
The bishop is married and often presents his family as evidence of stability and faithfulness. However, because of his celebrity status in Ghana’s religious landscape, his personal life is regularly subjected to public debate.
Allegations of infidelity are not new to Ghanaian pulpits. Several high-profile pastors have faced similar claims, and such stories often generate intense discussion on radio, TV, and online platforms.
Obinim’s decision to respond publicly reflects how seriously he takes the impact of the allegations on his reputation and ministry.
Members of God’s Way International Ministries have rallied behind him following the statement. On social media, some congregants defended the bishop, saying the claims were an attempt to distract from his work.
Others said they were more focused on the church’s programs and outreach than on rumors about his marriage
The incident also touches on a broader conversation in Ghana about accountability among religious leaders. As churches grow in influence and wealth, members of the public increasingly demand transparency from pastors regarding finances, conduct, and personal life.
At the same time, religious leaders argue that they are often targeted with false claims because of their visibility.
Media ethicists in Ghana have noted that allegations involving clergy should be handled carefully, with a distinction between verified facts and unverified gossip, to avoid damaging reputations unfairly.
In his latest remarks, Bishop Obinim did not provide new evidence to support his claim, but he emphasized that his conduct since 2017 speaks for itself. He urged the public to focus on his ministry’s work rather than on what he described as distractions.
“I am here to serve God and His people,” he said. “My family is important to me, and I will continue to protect it.
The story drew dozens of comments online within hours of being published. Some Ghanaians expressed support for the bishop, saying he deserves the benefit of the doubt. Others remained skeptical, citing past controversies.
The discussion reflects how religious figures in Ghana occupy both spiritual and public roles, where personal conduct is often debated alongside doctrine and ministry.
*What’s next*
For now, Bishop Obinim appears to be moving to close the matter with his public denial and a reaffirmation of his commitment to his marriage since 2017. Whether the allegations resurface will likely depend on new claims or evidence.
As he continues to lead God’s Way International Ministries, the bishop will remain one of Ghana’s most watched religious personalities, both for his preaching and for the controversies that follow him
