I'm Not Obinim's Spiritual Son...I've Never Asked Him To Pray For Me - Kofi Boakye

DCOP Kofi Boakye has refuted claims by Bishop Obinim that he is a "spiritual son" of the man of God. Speaking in an interview with host Kwami Sefa Kayi on Peace FM's 'kokrokoo', the Ashanti Regional Police Commander DCOP Kofi Boakye seized the opportunity to address the claims by the Founder and Leader of the International God's Way Church. He stated on record that he has never communicated with Bishop Obinim on phone for any spiritual guidance. He explained that the only chance he's had with Bishop Obinim was when his department invited him during the inauguration of Kenyase district. According to him, he found it prudent to invite the man of God into his office to request prayer for the district because his (Obinim) is situated in the vicinity. To him, it's his custom to honour God's elect and it was therefore in this line that he first met Bishop Obinim. DCOP Kofi Boakye was however quick to add that he doesn't need Bishop Obinim to be his spiritual father and so wondered why he (Obinim) made such claims. Bishop Obinim was on OB TV owned by him and released a caustic attack on the General Overseer of the Royal house Chapel Rev. Sam Korankye Ankrah for challenging his "spiritual prowess". He described Rev. Sam Korankye Ankrah in very unprintable words and further bragged about his association with DCOP Kofi Boakye and other dignitaries in the country. He claimed DCOP Kofi Boakye had pleaded with him to be his spiritual son and even volunteered to give him (Obinim) Police escort wherever he goes. As if to subtly label Bishop Obinim a "liar", DCOP Kofi Boakye stated emphatically he is not member of the International God's Way Church. “Frankly speaking, I have never called him (Obinim) on phone to pray for me before. I have seen him only once since I was born…What I’m privy to is that before a person will be your Spiritual son, maybe he or she is a Pastor and serving a man of God who then becomes his or her Spiritual father. As the Bible teaches us; there is only one person who is a Spiritual father and He is our Heavenly Father. “I am not his church member. I haven’t attended any of their church services before.”
