The case involving the alleged theft of GH¢1.5 million from Bishop Daniel Obinim was heard in Adenta Circuit Court on Friday. Chief Inspector Maxwell Lanyo, representing the prosecution, confirmed that the complainant is Bishop Obinim, founder of the International Godsway Church, and that the accused is his friend. The theft allegedly occurred on October 13, 2026, when the accused visited Bishop Obinim at his Lakeside residence. Upon leaving for church, the complainant returned to find the safe broken into and the money missing. The accused reportedly told the bishop that she had contacted her father's worker, Owusu, who arranged for two men to enter the room and take the money. The accused was arrested on October 16, 2026, and has since been released on GH¢1 million bail with two sureties. Ongoing investigations are being conducted into the alleged crime.",
