In a video, Bishop Obinim shared that he had found out that some individuals were allegedly impersonating him and using his name to collect money from people without his knowledge.

He urged Ghanaians to desist from communicating with any individual who claimed to be him as his Facebook page had been hacked and was being used to chat with unsuspecting people.
