A teenage couple who were allegedly flogged by a popular church bishop for having pre-marital s*x, have returned to the church, seeking the pastor's blessings on the product of their 'fornication.'

Few months ago, controversial Ghanaian preacher, Bishop Daniel Obinim, known for self-proclaimed spiritual powers and extreme practices, publicly flogged a teenage couple for having sex out of wedlock, which sparked national outrage for infringement on rights of church members.

 

The young couple who recently welcomed a baby after their alleged fornication, have now taken the newborn to Bishop Obinim’s International God’s Way Church, for dedication.

 

Recall that a video of the bishop flogging the couple during a church service had gone viral on social media sometime last year. 

 

The teenage girl, named Jezuah along with her 16-year-old boyfriend, Iliyasu, were flogged allegedly for engaging in premarital s*x that led to her pregnancy.

 

Obinim, who was angered by the couple’s amorous activity, stripped Iliyasu of his shirt while Jezuah was in a white gown. The pastor then marched them to the pulpit, where the two lovers were flogged before the congregation.

 

Though widespread condemnation greeted Obinim’s action, the couple’s parents felt the “correction” was meted by “an angel” and therefore in order.

 

The couple’s action of bringing their newborn to Obinim for dedication seems to ratify that view.
