Ghana’s entertainment and religious circles have been rocked by fresh revelations as popular gospel musician Florence Obinim takes her estranged husband, Bishop Daniel Obinim, to court, demanding millions of Ghana cedis and several valuable properties following the breakdown of their marriage.
The legal dispute between the celebrated gospel singer and the founder of International God’s Way Church has attracted widespread public attention, with new details emerging about Florence’s financial and property demands.
According to court documents reported on October 21, 2026, Florence is seeking GH¢4 million in alimony, alongside ownership of several properties allegedly acquired through their combined efforts during their marriage.
Florence Obinim Demands Millions and Properties
In an amended divorce petition dated October 12, 2026, filed before the Accra High Court, Florence is requesting ownership of four properties, including an apartment and guesthouse in Accra, a residential property in Barcelona, Spain, and church premises in Tema.
The gospel musician maintains that the properties were accumulated through their joint contributions throughout their marriage.
She argues that her involvement in her husband’s religious ministry and her reputation as a gospel musician contributed significantly to the development and expansion of International God’s Way Church.
Florence Reveals Sacrifices During Marriage
In her petition, Florence reportedly claims she temporarily abandoned her music career for nine years to support the growth of the church.
She also emphasizes her role in raising their three children while contributing to the family’s financial and religious activities.
Beyond the GH¢4 million alimony demand, she is seeking custody of the children, GH¢10,000 in monthly child maintenance and provisions for their healthcare.
Bishop Obinim Reacts to Divorce Demands
Earlier, Bishop Daniel Obinim publicly expressed frustration over his estranged wife’s financial demands during a church service in Tema.
The controversial preacher accused Florence of placing excessive emphasis on acquiring properties instead of prioritizing their children’s welfare.
His comments sparked heated debate across social media, with some sympathizing with Florence’s reported sacrifices while others questioned the financial demands.
Previous media reports had cited different monetary figures, including GH¢20 million, but the latest reporting on the amended petition identifies GH¢4 million as the alimony being requested.
As the divorce proceedings continue, the court will determine whether Florence’s claims justify the financial compensation and property settlements she seeks.
For now, the high-profile marital dispute remains unresolved, with no final judgment reported on the contested demands.
