Bishop Obinim and his wife, Florence, have been trending after he stood before his congregants to announce that only his children and his church should be in charge of organising his burial service.
The clergyman's controversial request prohibited his wife from participating in his burial arrangements after his death and claimed his inheritance had already been decided.
Bishop Obinim explained that his decision was due to some things that had happened after some prominent Ghanaians, including the late highlife legend Daddy Lumba, had passed away.
He also shared a misunderstanding surrounding his marriage to the gospel musician.
Florence Obinim responded to her husband's remarks in an interview, stating that she was not amazed and was instead thankful to God that her husband had disclosed this while he was still alive.

Counsellor Lutterodt reacts to Obinim's funeral demands
In a recent interview, Counsellor Lutterodt stated that the clergyman can not be buried without his family, as he requested.
According to him, there are certain traditional processes and procedures that need to be performed before the deceased is finally buried.
“You cannot be buried in this part of our world without the traditional process that is given to us by the family,” he said.
Counsellor Lutterodt further stated that every family has accepted rituals that can not be ignored, citing his personal experience.
According to him, his deceased relative was brought from Nigeria to Ghana for burial.
Unfortunately, the family did not assess the body well and went on to bury him while he was in his shoes, which he said was not traditionally accepted.
Counsellor Lutterodt claimed his uncle, who led the burial rites, had no peace until the right things were done.
He asked Ghanaians to forgive the man of God and further claimed that Bishop Obinim would not die soon, as there is one thing he has to do before he passes away.
Counsellor Lutterodt did not disclose what that task was, triggering reactions on social media.
