The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) is dragging the beleaguered General Overseer of the International God’s Way Church Bishop Daniel Obinim to court for illegal connection.

The Loss Control Coordinator at the Accra East regional office, Jonathan Asante said the controversial pastor owed a total of GH¢27,000 before the blockage.

According to Accra-based TV3, Obinim did the illegal connections in his guest house, television station OB TV and residence, after ECG cut power supply to him because of the non-payment of bills.
