Citi News<\/strong>\u2019 Phillip Nii Lartey is at the Nima he reported that some of the supporters were yelling: \u201cNo Bishop no vote\u201d, \u201cNo bishop no Ghana\u201d and \u201cWe want bishop, we love Angel!\u201d among other cries.<\/p>\n

Bishop Obinim has since been transferred to the\u00a0CID department at the Police Headquarters in Accra.<\/p>\n

The embattled preacher made headlines in the past week for the public flogging of two young adults for which he is\u00a0under investigation<\/a><\/strong><\/span> but it is this claim of fraud that has landed him in prison custody.<\/p>\n

According to the CID, the complainant came to the Tema Police accusing\u00a0Bishop Obinim of failing to deliver on a promise of helping him retrieve family gold proceeds from a fetish priest which culminated in him being defrauded of the GHc 11.6 million by the preacher.<\/p>\n
