A guesthouse belonging to controversial Ghanaian pastor Bishop Daniel Obinim has been gutted by fire in the early hours of Thursday, April 9, 2026.
The blaze reportedly affected the top floor of the building, which is located in the Ashale Botwe area of Accra.
Personnel from the Ghana National Fire Service were quickly deployed to the scene and were seen working to contain the flames and prevent them from spreading to nearby structures.
According to early reports, the guesthouse sits on the same compound as Obinim’s private residence and his television station.
The fire incident comes just months after Obinim publicly challenged the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) over an assessment of more than GH¢769,000 in alleged unpaid taxes.
The disputed amount covered rent tax and VAT liabilities linked directly to the guesthouse’s operations between 2014 and 2018.
Court documents at the time showed the assessment included GH¢28,900 in rent taxes and GH¢690,900 in Value Added Tax.
The cause of the fire remains unknown at this stage, and investigations are expected to begin once the fire service has fully brought the situation under control.
