Ghanaian gospel musician Florence Obinim has reportedly taken steps to end her more than two-decade marriage to televangelist Bishop Daniel Obinim, amid renewed attention to tensions surrounding the couple.
Reports emerging on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, claim that Florence Obinim’s family has returned her “Tiri Nsa”, a traditional Ghanaian marriage token associated with a woman’s formal intention to end a marriage.
The development was first brought into the public spotlight by Ghanaian media personality and blogger Ola Michael, who reportedly shared the claim in a video on Facebook. Both YEN.com.gh and Legit.ng have since reported on the development, citing Ola Michael’s account and an unnamed family source.
According to the reports, what has particularly drawn attention is the alleged response from Bishop Obinim’s family. The family is said to have accepted the returned token rather than rejecting it.
What is ‘Tiri Nsa’?
In traditional Ghanaian marriage customs, the return of a marriage-related token can be used to formally communicate an intention to end the relationship.
In this case, the reported return of Florence Obinim’s Tiri Nsa has sparked speculation that the couple’s marriage may be heading towards a formal separation.
However, there has been no publicly verified statement from Florence Obinim or Bishop Daniel Obinim confirming that their marriage has legally ended. The claims currently circulating are based on reports attributed to Ola Michael and an unnamed family source.
A marriage spanning more than two decades
Florence and Bishop Obinim have been married for reportedly 22 years and have three children together. The couple have also been prominent figures in Ghana’s charismatic Christian community, with Florence known for her gospel music and her involvement in her husband’s ministry.
The reported development comes after a period in which the couple had been the subject of public attention over tensions and exchanges surrounding their relationship.
Their subsequent relative silence had led some observers to believe the situation had eased, but the latest reports have reignited questions about the state of their marriage.
For now, the reported return of the Tiri Nsa remains the central development, with further confirmation from the couple or their families expected to clarify whether the traditional step will result in a formal divorce.
