Speaking live on Saturday, February 7, 2026, the presenter reacted to resurfaced videos and renewed complaints about Bishop Obinim allegedly stepping on the stomachs of women seeking “miracle children.”
The act, which has circulated widely on social media in recent days, has once again raised serious concerns about religious extremism, abuse of power, and the safety of vulnerable worshippers.
“Arrest him now! He is killing people,” the presenter declared on air, visibly outraged.
“How can we sit in this country and watch human beings being trampled upon in the name of God? This is not religion. This is assault, and it is a direct threat to human life.”
The presenter stressed that applying full body weight to the abdomen of women—many of whom are desperate for children—is not only reckless but medically dangerous.
According to medical experts frequently cited in public discussions, such actions can lead to internal bleeding, ruptured organs, miscarriages, and long-term reproductive damage.
The Joy News broadcast questioned why such widely documented acts have not resulted in criminal investigations or prosecutions.
The issue has since spilled beyond television studios into the broader public space, with many Ghanaians on social media echoing the call for justice.

Critics argue that religious leaders have for too long operated above the law, shielded by faith, fear, and political silence.
While supporters of Bishop Obinim often defend the acts as spiritual demonstrations that lead to “miracles,” critics insist that no belief system should justify physical harm.
The presenter also pointed to recent developments in the prosecution of controversial religious figures, including the jailing of Nana Agradaa, questioning what many see as a double standard.

“If the law can deal with one spiritual leader for fraud, why should another be untouchable when people’s lives and bodies are at risk?” the presenter asked.
Calls were further directed at the Christian Council of Ghana and the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council to move beyond issuing warnings and take decisive steps to sanction or de-register leaders who promote harmful practices disguised as faith.
