Redeemed Pastor Arrested Over N8m Fraud


A 40-year old pastor with the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Kunle Odeyemi David and his accomplice, Ganiyu Babatunde a.k.a. Iyalla, 52, have been arrested by the Lagos State Police Command for fraudulently withdrawing N8 million from the bank account of a Lagos-based hotelier, Alhaji Mudashiru Olanrewaju Odetunde.

According to police sources, David, who resides at 3, Transformer Street, Amikanle, Alagbado, Lagos and Babatunde, who lives at 8, Oduduwa Street, Surulere, Lagos, have been allegedly withdrawing money from accounts of bank customers with the connivance of a female cashier. Their victim, Alhaji Odetunde, the owner of Moonshine Motel, Lagos told P.M.NEWS: “ The suspects withdrew money from my account with the assistance of a female cashier. My bank is near Nigerian Breweries, Iganmu, Lagos.

“ Can you imagine that when the pastor and his comrade-in-crime removed N8 million from my account, I went to report at the bank’s headquarters. Immediately I stepped out, I got another alert that N2 million was removed again from my account.

“I dashed back to the bank to complain again and in a twinkle of an eye, I got a transaction alert which read your account has been credited with N2,000,000 by returned 062317520 cheque.

“But for the assistance of police detectives attached to Area ‘A’ command, Lion Building, Lagos Island, they would not have been arrested.

“I am disappointed with the way the bank officials handled the matter. I feel it is no longer safe to keep money in the bank. They keep deceiving me over my N8 million.

“The bank is yet to pay me my money. I work extremely hard to get money.”

Pastor David said: “I am a pastor of Redeemed Church. It is true we withdrew money from Alhaji Odetunde’s account. I got 30 per cent of the money. The cheque was paid into my account and we withdrew it at Gbagada branch, Lagos. I deal in oil and gas.” Babantunde said: “The offence has been committed. The account number we used was 06231753 at the Ibadan branch. The money was paid into Pastor’s account with the help of a female cashier.”

It was also gathered that the police at the Area ‘A’ Command have impounded a Toyota Infinity SUV marked DM11EKY and a black Picanto Car with registration number MN 141 KJA from Pastor David and Babatunde respectively.

Police sources told P.M.NEWS that the suspects will be charged to court soon.

There is hardly a couple of days would go by without RCCG hitting the scandal walls particularly with their pastors,,,I ve always said the church needed to close many of these their road side parishes around. There is the high need for reforms in that church,,,,Religion is the highest order in RCCG.
looking at the face of this pastor,,,,is a clear replica of how their classical parishes pastors must look like,,,,Having the form of Godliness but lackin the power thereof!!!
I hope I have not touched God's annointed and did his prophet ho harm here oooo!!

Na wa oooooohhh

Hmm,

Maybe he wan use am buy jet. . . Like father like son

Daddy G.O is a thief, pastor too is a thief. Balanced equation

Tudór:

Daddy G.O is a thief, pastor too is a thief. Balanced equation

Equation is yet to be balanced oooo,,,U would need to wait for the " Touch not my annointed and do my prophets no harm members to comment first,,,Na thief wey dem catch na em be thief,,,,My annoyance is that RCCG would do virtually nothing about this as usual and dey would keep opening branches or offices every 5minutes walk/drive with 1/10 th baked pastors who themselves are not even born again,,,,,though highly religious,,,,

That a pastor of a church commits an offence does not mean the whole church should bear the blame, everyone has his own cross to carry. stop castigating churches.

REAL TRUTH:

Redeemed Pastor Arrested Over N8m Fraud


A 40-year old pastor with the Redeemed Christian Church of God,

I dont want to comment on the story, but this man is definitely not 40 years old.

even jesus had a fake disciple-judas iscariot,u don,t expect every church pastor to be holy,there must be fakes!so stop blaming the anointed pst. adeboye or RCCG-THE CHURCH AFTER GOD,S heart.

Tudór:

Daddy G.O is a thief, pastor too is a thief. Balanced equation

@ Tudor,
Na wao!, watch your mouth Tudor, the ocult gentle man. If Daddy G.O. is a thief, then you must be an armed robber, abi or have you retired?.

They have done it again. Ever ubiquitous in money crime venues.

I also observed that most RCCG pastors always spearhead every wonderbank money scheme. From the famous wonderbank era of 2006/2007 to date, they are prominent players. Its like they are serving mammon instead of God .
