Police Arraign 2 For Stealing $14 Million From Church by Adesiji77: 5:04pm On Apr 25, 2016
The Police in Ogun on Monday arraigned two men, Akapo Paul,73, and Johnson Shorinnolu,63, for allegedly stealing 14 million dollars belonging to the West African Christian Mission.

They appeared before an Ota Magistrates’ Court

The accused, whose addresses are unknown, are facing two-count charge of stealing and conspiracy.

The Prosecutor, Abdulkareem Mustapha, told the court that the accused committed the offences sometime in 2015 at about 9:30 pm at West African Christian Mission at No.49 Tarmac Road, Ota.

Mustapha alleged that the accused conspired, as signatories to the bank account of West African Christian mission, to steal 14 million dollars.

He said that the offences contravened Sections 390 (cool (b) and 516 of the Criminal Code Vol.1, Laws of Ogun, 2006.

The accused, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.

The Chief Magistrate, Mrs A.I. Adelaja, admitted them to bail in the sum of N2 million each with two sureties in like sum.

She said the sureties must be residents within the court’s jurisdiction and should be gainfully employed.

Adelaja also directed the sureties to swear to an affidavit of means and show evidence of tax payments to Ogun Government.

The magistrate adjourned the case till May 20 for hearing.

[size=18pt]why arrest them. The church should consider this as a way of giving back to the community and the poor as they dont have tax obligations[/size]

The Federal Government should immediately amend the Companies and Allied Matters Act. All monies paid to these religious bodies are termed as gifts under the law and they are not taxable even if used to buy luxuries which have no bearing on the purpose these bodies were set up,

Churches, Mosques, Shrines, Temples and all religious bodies should be taxed a minimum of 40% of 'gifts' received.
