BISHOP DANIEL OBINIM'S HOUSE GUTTERED BY FIRE

One of the houses belonging to Bishop Daniel Obinim has been razed down by fire on Tuesday night. Cause of the fire is not yet known but the fire service is on the grounds.

Shortly after the incident, the media aid of the man seen by his church members as an angle of God sent out a release threatening to take media houses that are reporting that the church building of the International God's Way Church has been razed down by fire.

Was the release prepared before the fire or after? This is a question most people are asking. One man next to me hearing the news shouted "eeeiiiii, how come the angle didn't see this one?"

The building said to have been razed down by fire was occupied by some members of the IGWC.
