On Wednesday, popular Ghanaian TikToker based abroad, Honam Sardine, shared a video of Florence Obinim looking gorgeous as she walked in public with Kumawood actress and TV presenter Nayas 1.
In the caption of the video she shared, the TikToker alleged that the gospel musician was at the Ghana Police Service's headquarters over a case against Highest Eri.
According to Honam Sardine, Florence's case against the KSS presenter pertained to some alleged defamatory comments the latter made about the singer's makeover.
The TikToker failed to share any additional information relating to the case, while Bishop Obinim's wife has yet to address the matter publicly.
Below is the TikTok video of Florence Obinim at the police headquarters:
Highest Eri addresses alleged Florence Obinim case
In a video she shared on her official TikTok page on Thursday, January 8, 2026, Highest Eri recounted the comments she made about Florence's physical transformation on retired radio presenter Akwasi Aboagye's former 'Entertainment Review' show several months ago.
She noted that she recently encountered the gospel singer and was surprised to see that she looked more beautiful and nothing like the polarising look she flaunted on social media.
Highest Eri stated that she conversed with Florence and called on Ghanaians to do proper research and encounter people before making unsavoury comments about them.
The media personality apologised to the veteran musician over her past comments about her physical appearance, stating:
"Sometimes when we want to say something about people, let us get our facts right. Meet the person one-on-one and speak. I have seen her [Obinim] with my eyes.
"It is not what someone was saying. I also want to say sorry to her if the video I did last year really triggered some part of her or got her angry. I am truly sorry," she said.
Highest Eri also appealed to Florence's critics to consider her private and professional lives and stop attacking her on social media.

The media personality, who recently got into a beef with Shatta Wale over her one-day appointment as Medikal's PRO, noted that the singer was worth protecting from unnecessary public backlash.
She stated that the musician had explained the reason behind her weight loss and encouraged Ghanaians to support her and stream her newly released song, Susu Pre.
