Bishop Daniel Obinim, the founder and superintendent of the International God's Way Church, has denied claims that he openly admitted to staging miracles in his ministry.
According to the self-styled pastor, reports suggesting that he confessed to faking miracles are a misrepresentation of comments he made in a previous discussion.

He explained that his earlier remarks were meant to highlight the low engagement his church-related videos receive on YouTube, especially when he shares content about church activities and what he describes as miraculous events.
Bishop Obinim said that due to this low traction, he sometimes uses sensational headlines to attract attention to his online content, a point he insists has been misunderstood by bloggers and content creators.
He further stated that his comments have been taken out of context by individuals he described as self-seeking media actors with their own agendas.
The pastor added that he felt compelled to clarify the matter to protect his reputation from what he described as unfair damage.
He also explained that his ability to perform what he calls miracles is rooted in his faith, prayer, fasting, and inspiration from the teachings and life of Jesus Christ.
According to him, periods of intense prayer and fasting are central to his ministry and spiritual operations.
Bishop Obinim has therefore urged the public to disregard claims that he stages miracles for attention, insisting that his ministry is guided by genuine spiritual practice.
He challenged critics to provide evidence supporting allegations that he has admitted to faking miracles.
