The founder and leader of the International God’s Way Church, Bishop Daniel Obinim, has revealed that investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas once approached him to collaborate in filing a lawsuit against Kennedy Agyapong, the former Member of Parliament for Assin Central, for defamation.
Obinim, who was among several pastors exposed by Kennedy Agyapong during his campaign against so-called “fake pastors” in Ghana on NET2 TV, disclosed that he met Anas personally.
According to him, during their meeting, Anas removed his mask and discussed plans on how they could take legal action against Agyapong.
Speaking to his church members during a sermon, Obinim explained that at the time of the proposal, he had discovered that Kennedy Agyapong was his family member. As a result, he decided to forgive him out of respect for their family ties.
Regarding the recent legal victory of Anas Aremeyaw Anas, Obinim also claimed that the General Overseer of Prophetic Hill Chapel, Prophet Nigel Gaisie, had contacted him back then, pledging to deal with Kennedy Agyapong both spiritually and legally.
“I met him (Anas), and he removed his mask so I could see his face. He even suggested recording our conversation. He told me that due to what Kennedy had done to him, he was in the process of suing him and encouraged me to do the same.
“I told him I would think about it. We had about five conversations, but I couldn’t give him an answer because, by that time, I had realized that the man who disgraced me (Kennedy) was actually a family member,” Obinim recounted.
He further stated, “I even have more money than him. I could have hired top lawyers to defend me, but I decided to let it go. If I won’t take action against him, someone else will.”
Obinim had previously apologized to Kennedy Agyapong over their long-standing feud, emphasizing that he chose to forgive him because of their family connection. However, he lamented that their altercation had significantly affected his church.
An Essex County jury has awarded Anas Aremeyaw Anas $18 million in his defamation suit against Kennedy Agyapong.
