Social media posts claiming that Bishop Daniel Obinim has been arrested over an alleged attempt to set gospel musician Florence Obinim ablaze have circulated online. However, Ghana Media could not independently verify the arrest claim or establish that the alleged attempted attack occurred.
The posts have emerged amid a widely reported marital dispute between the founder of the International God’s Way Church and Florence Obinim. Recent media reports have covered statements attributed to both sides concerning their relationship, but those reports do not independently substantiate the separate allegation of an attempted arson attack.

Ghana Media’s searches did not locate a credible police statement or reliable news report confirming that Obinim had been arrested in connection with an alleged attempt to burn Florence. The circulating posts should therefore not be treated as proof of an arrest or of criminal wrongdoing.

Obinim has been arrested in the past. In May 2020, he was arrested and charged in a case involving allegations of publishing false news and forgery. Police at the time also clarified that a video circulating on social media was unrelated to that arrest. That historical case does not verify the new claim circulating online.
For now, the claim about an alleged attempt to set Florence ablaze remains unverified. Any future report should be based on an official police statement, court records or independently corroborated reporting rather than social media captions alone.
