  • SARPONG 7 years ago

    I am not ndc, and we should treat Obinim nonsense. It is stupid even for Npp to align itself with criminal Obinim.

  • Yaa Nkosuo 7 years ago

    Rev. Obinim is very controversial and caution must be taking when dealing with his controversial spats with Law Enforcement and the Public, however this case really got me thinking.

    Every society has standards that are set ...

    Come on Attafuah. It is a normal procedure through out the whole world. The moment you are put under arrest the police has the right to handcuff you. I don't believe you will say this if an ordinary person was the one arreste ...

  • Oscar 7 years ago

    I DONT THINK THE 'BASTARD PROPHET MAN OF THE DEVIL'S' CASE HAS ANYTHING DOING WITH BEING NDC OR NPP. NARROW MINDED BIGOTS SHLD STOP POLITICSIZING A CRIMINAL CASE.

    Most institutions in Ghana are not doing their work well and the worst of all is the POLICE

  • Kkk 7 years ago

    That is ghana for you. Because people have developed hatred for him over the years they think the time has come for him be killed just like that. How can someone who has been so cooperative be treated like that.

  • Truth 7 years ago

    Obinim was seen flogging children in public with total disregard to the laws of Ghana. Even suspects without clear facts are seen in handcuffs

  • KWaku Gbloenawo 7 years ago

    Even in the developed world cuffing is normal procedure for any suspect. It is not only about absconding but also a restraint from either harming yourself or any other person including the police. I expected you to know bette ...

  • Grow Up Man 7 years ago

    That is not necessarily right..handcuffing is for unstable criminals..what was the point of disgracing the man? He was invited to the police station and he showed up..You are the educated fool..An Ass.

  • Gonzaga 7 years ago

    Handcuffing an accused or suspected person is normal police practice,so the suspect or the police make sure both are safe. DR. learn before you go to the radio station and make noise like most Ghanaians do.

  • Asorkpo 7 years ago

    Stupid lawyer.
    You don't need to tell him this.He should know better.
    Everyone arrested or report yourself will be handcuffed no matter who you are.

  • Eric. K (Joe) - Canada 7 years ago

    I don't think you are learned? Else you would be calm and generative rather than hurling insults on a man that studied hard to become who he is today as Dr. Ken. We not agree all the time but you went too far. Takecare!

  • John 7 years ago

    You are right.A decorated donkey is a donkey.Obinyim is an ignorant person followed by ignorant people.He has to handcuffed like any other criminal

  • SARPONG 7 years ago

    What is shameful about handcuffing Obinim? Anybody under arrest including Presidents and teal men of God are handcuffed.

    Shut the fuck up with your tribalistic foolishness. I am Akan but this has nothing to do with tribe.

    If you care to know, Obinim is an Ewe born and raised in Kumasi, that does not make him an Akan. Obinim is just a crimina ...

    What is Obinim's real name? Thank you.

  • SARPONG 7 years ago

    Ernest, all I know is that the guy grew up at Anloga(Awonaga), Kumasi. Have you even heard of any Akan with the name Obinim? Obinim is just a moniker this Togolese criminal is using. Where is he from in Ghana?

  • Oku 7 years ago

    See what politics has done to this short man. Which one is shameful, Obinim flogging these kids or he being handcuffed? Because you want obinim votes for your short mentor you will rather say the unthinkable.

  • Bbb 7 years ago

    It's all political hyped up ,NDC government and their security agencies are criminals and armed robbers.This can happen to anyone.Obinim should sue the police.

  • Loneranger 7 years ago

    If such a docile suspect is being handcuffed, then perhaps a notorious armed robber arrested after a fierce resistance must not only be handcuffed but also armcuffed, legcuffed and neckcuffed.

  • SARPONG 7 years ago

    You call somebody who has pistol whipped radio panelists docile? This bleached face illiterate fool is the worst of criminals. He should have been put in leg irons and body chains too.

    Handcuffing Obinim was unprofessional on the part of the police. Why do you do that as he turned himself in and again isn't a sought after criminal.

    Why is our Police and National Security constantly behaving so uncouthly/unprofessionally and turning miscreants who deserve nothing but scorn into heroes and sought-after "men of God" like Obinim

    I think the police acted the way they did to prevent him from turning into something horribly monstrous to subject them to unnecessary public ridicule. hope you get my drift

  • Niki Sakisaki 7 years ago

    I think the fact that he could easily turn into 'king kong' alone to maul them or a cobra to you know, made them handcuff him. Because if you are dealing with someone who can turn into anything, you thunk twice.
