On Thursday, April 9, 2026, reports emerged that a guest house owned by the preacher located at Ashalley Botwe School Junction in Accra had caught fire.
Viral videos that surfaced on social media showed the distinctive yellowish-brown multi-storey structure burning, with smoke covering the entire vicinity.
According to mynewsgh, which broke the news and shared a video of the fire, the building was a guest house belonging to the founder and leader of the International God's Way Church, Bishop Daniel Obinim.
The guest house is reportedly located on the same property where his lavish Ashalley Botwe residence and television station are located.
Following a preliminary assessment by the Ghana National Fire Service, an officer, ADO 1 Isaac Kojo Poku, stated that the exact cause of the fire was yet to be determined.
However, he noted that possible causes such as electrical faults and negligence cannot be ruled out.
He further disclosed that, although the fire was brought under control, structural damage to the building was significant.
Apparently, Bishop Obinim is no stranger to fire on his properties, as multiple reports indicate that the Tema branch of the International God’s Way Church caught fire on Thursday, February 13th 2020.

Bishop Obinim shows house damage by fire
A video shared by Bishop Obinim on his official TikTok page showed a building damaged beyond recognition.
The once beautiful house had turned into ashes, with only a few blocks left on the land.
Obinim, who is believed to be heartbroken, shouted, saying;
“Eii, this is very serious. It's quite surprising how a house can burn with only blocks being saved”
Speaking about the incident, he detailed that he was outside Ghana, specifically in London, when he got the news that his house had caught fire.
Detailing the way forward, he noted that he will break down the remaining block and reconstruct the house.
Bishop Obinim further stated that the incident is the will of God, thanking God that no death or injury was recorded.
He added that the fire would not make him question God because he has a covenant with him.
“It's the will of God, so I am not moved. I have a covenant with God, and he has promised me that he will not let a life struggle that is beyond my capacity come my way,” he said.
