Even with pastors, level pass level! Waiting for the day the court will convict the main pastors who make a living of the suffering of unsuspecting christians...

This ones are small timers. Imagine how much will be recovered if EFCC is to diligently investigate all churches.

Until I begin to see headlines like this.......

OBJ sentenced to 32yrs behind bars

APC banned from the political space for making derogatory comments

Not EFCC parades and two pastors sentenced to prison.

I would never take EFCC and court judgments serious!
Rubbish!

What ministry do these rogues represent ? These ones just carried their business too far. They should have remained in the vineyard of the lord where their criminality is well protected by our laws.

Do prisoners earn income It would be the most callous thing for any pastor to even collect offerings from prisoners talkless of tithes.

Find the EFCC Press statement below:

Justice F. O Ohwo of Delta State High Court, Warri, Delta State, on Wednesday, December 10, 2014, convicted and sentenced Pastor Glory Okeoghene Abrefera and Reverend Vincent Okpogu to seven (7) years imprisonment each for stealing depositors' fundsamounting to N32million ( Thirty- Two Million Naira only).

The two clergymen were nabbed after deceiving unsuspecting members of the public into investing in Mustard Seed Micro Investment Limited, a wonder bank, and defrauded them of their hard-earned money.

While delivering judgment today, Justice Ohwo convicted the accused persons on all of the nine count charges preferred against them by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC.

They were sentenced to seven years imprisonment on each count. The sentence is to run concurrently.

According to the judge, the convicts will serve the seven-year term at Okere Prisons in Warri, Delta State, after completing the ten years sentence they are currently serving for illegal banking.

It would be recalled that Abrefera and Okpogu were on January 7, 2013, convicted and sentenced to ten (10) years imprisonment by Justice I. N. Buba of the Federal High Court Asaba, on a 4-count charge, for operating a wonder bank called Mustard Seed Micro Investment Limited.According to the prosecutor, Mr. G. K. Latona,"the convicts are still answering to other chargesat Otor-Udu High Court for related offences.

The Pastors to my best of knowledge did not steal the said money. They started a group of company called MUSTARD SEED GROUP, comprises of mustard seed microfinance bank in Enerhen, Solace Fast food in Ekpan and into forex trading but the way they raise funds was through MLM, invest in mustard seed introduced so and so number of people. When it became obvious they will fail is when they started giving loans (like say tomorrow no dey, people wey collect neva pay back) cars and houses "that is you can be a landlord with some thousands of naira refer so and so amount of people... You can be a car owner, refer...". If they have maintained the micro finance bank and the solace fast food which was been patronised very well then they would still be in business. They are trying to do what Dr Sunny Ojeagbease was doing in Lagos Success Digest group, the entrepreneurship movement in Warri. Though they started forceful, mustard seed was then actually becoming a big business brand in Warri featuring almost everyday in radio and television, running empowerment programmes. Beautiful ideas but they failed!

I heard that Bishop Oyedepo has rebranded his messages to Righteousness,because of a truth the prosperity messages are producing 419ners,Fraudsters,greed,wickedness within the churches than being agents of Righteousness,joy,love of GOD and neigbour,patience etc which are the fruits of the spirits
