The mothers of the two teenagers have jumped to Bishop Obinim’s defense amid widespread public criticism.
According to mothers of the two, the actions of their children were immoral and God had only used the preacher to punish them.
“God used Obinim to flog the children so that other young people will learn from it and the young ladies will take care of themselves. To me, it was very necessary because it is a lesson that everybody should learn from,” one of the mothers said.
“The revelation came when he was having a live program. I support my father Obinim. I have come to respect him even more.”
Meanwhile, Bishop Obinim, who is under investigation for whipping two teenagers in his church publicly, finally showed up at the police station, Tuesday, having been invited by the Tema Regional Police for questioning last Friday.
Following a no-show by the preacher, the police issued a 24-hour ultimatum on Sunday for Obinim to turn himself in.
Bishop Obinim is making headlines after he flogged two church members whom he described as his children for allegedly fornicating and attempting an abortion.
A video showed the controversial preacher being led into a vehicle together with his junior pastor from the Police station in handcuffs, escorted by some police officers.
Obinim said repeatedly in Twi while being led away: “Jesus Christ has won.”
