A man who goes by the name, Opeyemi Oluwole, a self proclaimed architect has been arrested by the Lagos State Police Command for allegedly using a building project proposed by the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, to dupe scores of people.
It was gathered that Adeboye had announced during one of his Holy Ghost Service titled ‘Signs and Wonders’ that the church would be needing more accommodation to cater for more attendees.
In his word, the soft-speaking, pastor said,
“The dormitories we have are many but are not enough for the number of people that attend our programmes so we need people to join us in building extra 2,000 dormitories in order to reduce the number of people sleeping on bare floor in the church auditorium.
“The dormitories, we are hoping, would be ready before the next congress and anyone willing to help should get across to us.”
According to police authorities, Oluwole, under the pretext of building the dormitories for the church, tricked many people into paying money into his bank account. He, however ran out of luck after he approached a member of one of the parishes of RCCG. It was learnt that the member immediately reported the matter to the Ketu Police Division.
When the police wrote the RCCG headquarters, the church denied knowing the suspect. In a letter addressed to the police, the church’s legal department stated that it was ready to pursue the case to a logical conclusion.
