The filth and misdemeanours that permeate the house of God has reared up its head again. This time around it is at the Dr. D. K. Olukoya-led Mountain of Fire and Miracles (MFM) church, where 50 of the church pastors have just been reprimanded over allegations of financial impropriety and embezzlement of church funds. As the story goes, one Dr. Jeremiah Ajibola, who is the Assistant Regional Overseer (ARO) of the CAASORegional Headquarters was said to have been queried from the headquarters over the decline in revenue coming from the CAASO region to the headquarters. Following this, an accountant was sent from the headquarters to CAASO region to assist in the shoring up of their revenue and maintaining adequate financial propriety.
Along the line, and in the course of the accountant’s term of reference, Dr. Ajibola ordered a pulpit rotation among the pastors in his region, an usual practice in the entire MFM body, whereby pastors move from one church to the other every Sunday simultaneously to preach.
The development was a new one in the region and this idea was welcomed by the entire members of MFM in CAASO region. But trouble began when the accountant from headquarters issued a directive that all the money counters in all the MFM branches under CAASO region should be changed with immediate effect. Suddenly after this directive, the hitherto declining revenue of the region jerked up significantly, and the huge amount as in differential was so monumental that it ran into millions, giving cause for the accountant and the ARO to commence immediate action. According to our reliable sources within the CAASO regional headquarters, the figures were so much shored up within three months from April to July and the accountant and ARO were taken aback by the sharp increase.
The figures we scooped from our sources are as follows:
APRIL – An increment of N100,000
MAY – Over N800,000
JULY – Above N650,000
They now wondered if such an amount could he realized within a short spate of four months, the August retirement of revenue from branches must be in double fold.
Pronto the ARO ordered the immediate suspension of all the pastors of branches under CAASO region and ordered them to remain in the branches where they were rotated to except otherwise directed.
Dr. Jeremiah Ajibola, we gathered, has already informed the headquarters of the ugly development, since 70% of the pastors were involved in the mass pilfering and pillage of church money on a weekly basis. The ARO, we gathered was never aware of this malpractice until the accountant came around to discover and uncover this shady deal being perpetrated by these shameful ‘men of God’ in MFM. It was indeed a startling piece of information to all members of CAASO MFM when it got to them.
As at the time of filing in this report, a directive is still being expected from the International Headquarters in Onike Yaba, Lagos where Dr. D. K. Olukoya holds sway as General Overseer. We shall keep you posted on further development on this issue as we continue to dig out fresh information on this palaver.
