Pastor Adeboye Ordered Return Of Billions Traced To Crime – EFCC

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has directed the church to return a donation worth billions of naira after the EFCC raised concerns about the source of the money. EFCC chairman, Ola Olukoyede, recently had his say while speaking to RCCG workers during a meeting ahead of the church’s annual Holy Ghost Congress.

According to him, a church member had donated billions of naira towards one of RCCG’s projects, but the commission later discovered during its investigation that the money was allegedly linked to proceeds of crime.

Stressing that he had to personally take the matter to Pastor Adeboye, Olukoyede added that the General Overseer did not hesitate to return the money to the government.

His words, “The reaction on the face of Daddy was like I was almost blaming myself for taking the matter to him. Daddy was visibly angry.

He said I give you 24 hours. Everything you have traced to RCCG from this particular person who has been indicted, return it within the next 24 hours.

That money was returned to the coffers of government. That is what RCCG is known for. That is who we are. We are not the custodian of proceeds of crime.

We don’t have the right to accuse people in government of stealing money when some of us are doing worse things in the church. This must stop. That evil must stop.

We are not saying we should send them away, but we must not use the altar to promote financial fraudulent activities.”
