According to the new reports, Bishop Obinim has vowed Florence would not receive a single property acquired during their marriage.
Reports first emerged that Florence had formally initiated a traditional divorce by returning drinks to Bishop Obinim's family, a deeply symbolic act in Ghanaian custom that signals a woman's decision to end a marriage.
How the Obinim marriage broke down
A report by Gossips24Avenue suggested the breakdown began when Bishop Obinim allegedly vacated the couple's matrimonial home and moved to Trassaco, leaving Florence behind for several months.
Concerned by his absence, members of Florence's family, including her brother Frank, her sister Akosua, and a relative identified as Elder Antwi, approached the preacher to find out whether he intended to return.
Bishop Obinim reportedly told them plainly that living under the same roof as Florence again was out of the question.
He is also said to have stated that he no longer wished to be married to her, alleging that she had disclosed private details about their relationship to Prophet Ogyaba, a man he described as his enemy.
Three months after Bishop Obinim left the home, Florence made her decision official. In August, she and her family travelled to Sepaase, a town in Kumasi, to present the traditional drinks to Bishop Obinim's father as a formal request for divorce. The preacher's father reportedly received them without objection.

Obinim's property stance amid divorce saga
Behind closed doors, however, the tone was far less ceremonial and amicable.
According to Ghpage News, Angel Obinim was emphatic that Florence would not walk away with any share of the assets built up during their time together, going as far as to say she would not receive so much as a peanut.
He also made it clear that, since the two would no longer be in each other's lives, Florence had no reason to remain in the house he built and should move out without delay.
Florence Obinim's response property stance
Florence, for her part, did not push back on the property claims. She stated plainly that material possessions were not her concern and that she would leave the house as instructed.
Her measured response contrasted with the firmness of Angel Obinim's position, suggesting she chose to step away from the situation without escalating it further.
