Teenagers flogged by Obinim return to church with new born baby for blessings

20:23 - 21 June 2017

The teenage mother and father also took the opportunity to thank Bishop Obinim for the moral and spiritual support during the period of the pregnancy.

Several reports circulating online suggest that the two teenagers who were flogged by Bishop Obinim for fornicating showed up today at God’s Way International Ministries for thanksgiving service.

A year ago, Bishop Daniel Obinim made headlines for flogging the hapless pregnant girl and her boyfriend during a church service.

The controversial pastor who was angered by the couple’s amorous activity which has led to a pregnancy took the law into his hands and lashed the young man on his bare back before turning to the girl flogging her mercilessly with a belt in the full glare of his congregation.

Throughout the punishment, Obinim is heard questioning the jobless youngman why he got the girl pregnant when he has no finances for her upkeep and the upbringing of the unborn child.

The girl who was unable to stand the flogging attempts to escape, but she was held by henchmen of the Bishop to enable the bishop mete out more beatings.

After subjecting the two to severe flogging for several minutes, Obinim orders his junior pastors to remove their belts and subject the couple to more flogging.
