Christ Embassy Pastor, Chris Oyakhilome In $35million Money Laundering Scam by Golddudu(m): 1:00pm On Nov 30, 2010
Any moment from now, flamboyant miracle fixing pastor of Christ Embassy Church located in Oregun, Ikeja area of Lagos state, Chris Oyakhilome will be a guest of Nigeria’s anti-graft police, EFCC for using his church to launder funds which source could not be accounted for into foreign bank accounts. The illicit funds so far traced by security agents stand at over $35 million.

The latest scandal may once again bring the controversial miracle-worker pastor under public scrutiny after government suspended the broadcast of his suspicious healing programme tagged “atmosphere for miracles” on public television stations some years ago.

iReports-ng can authoritatively report that a document on the money laundering activities of the architect turned pastor was first passed to the Nigeria police force headquarters in Abuja, last year. After finding it difficult to unravel the fraud, the police forwarded the matter to the EFCC which has the expertise and powers to successfully prosecute the pastor.

According to a source at the force headquarters in Abuja, the case was sent to the EFCC and received there September 24th 2009. Another source in the EFCC also confirmed that attempts were made by some of the controversial pastor’s agents in the commission to “kill” the petition due to the electronic system of monitoring cases already put in place in the agency, called “gocase” by the United Nations Office On Drug and Crime, UNODC.

A reliable source in the agency told iReports-ng a few hours ago that ” after the initial hiccup, substantial progress has now been made on the case even though quietly and the coast now clear to invite the pastor to make some statements on his involvement in cash transfer of such huge amount of United States currency”

Apart from this discovery of money laundering activity by the pastor, a couple of his church officials and members have also of recent featured in some major fraud issues. Not quite long a time, one of his pastors in Ogba area of Lagos was said to have stolen some millions of naira from the sheraton hotels ikeja where he worked as a manager before he was sacked when the fraud was discovered. He claimed in his statement to the police then that he donated the stolen money to Oyakhilome’s Christ embassy church to buy power generating sets and other church needs.

Also of recent, a young member of the church in Benin city, Edo state was arrested and prosecuted by the EFCC for engaging in internet marriage scam through which he defrauded a white lady. In his statement before he was convicted, he was said to have also confessed that he donated the bulk of the scam money to Oyakhilome’s church where he belongs as a strong member.

Before the discovery of the pastor’s money laundering activity, Oyakhilome had been enmeshed in other major scandals such as immoral sexual engagements with church members, fighting other religious leaders, use of diabolic powers and faking miracles.

In 2008, south africa media were awash with stories of fake miracles stage managed by the pastor in a bid to woo worshipers to join his church.

Anger of the Lord - on the poster or the pastor? undecided The poster has done well by posting the story. I bet you that there have been so many scandals swirling around the head of the pastor in question.  It is high time they investigated this one, regardless of the source of the story, to a logical conclusion. 'Anger of the Lord' is one of the worn-out cliches they use to SCARE unsuspecting people into eternal servitude.

This is no NEWS! Just short of sensationalism. People should leave Pastor hris Oyakilome alone. Shame th devil is still using same old tricks He tried on before and guess what? Same result of failure will be the outcome.

Okay for those that know so much about Pastor Chris's International arm and how much that arm raises and spends in some regions of the world, then a talk of $35million is laughable to be honest.

If EFCC feels there is the need to investigate, then let EFCC do their job and I am quite sure that Pastor Chris would glaldy assist them should they want to obtain statements from him. All these reminds me of how Arch. Bishop B.E. Idahosa was viciously attacked and called names but at the end, those that called him names are like the chaffs of the a threadfloor today.

May God help us all to discern the truth and live by it. May we never become obstructionists to God's agenda least we will be swept away like the dust of the field.

Why are u happy EFFC is now in the picture? Is that the God that should finally hinder pastor chris? If your God is alive, you should have faith in him to have punish his offenders. Yet this same pastor chris gets bigger with the things he does for christ all over the world. Can't you see this man is backed by God. I've never seen a man that knows and have so much passion for jesus like this man, yet you are happy to write evil reports about him and the church,you should be careful because saul of tarsus did same in his time but I don't think you would have that kind of saving grace as he did. Let EFCC investigate what they can and also tell us the sources if they can. But I certainly know this man is back up by Jehovah. Well for you,be concerned about saving your soul from sins and evil ways,you are not in place to judge any man of God because that's God's jurisdiction and you are not worthy to do so.

Personally, I think there is something quite fishy about Pastor Chris and Christ Embassy in Nigeria. I heard some tales from a colleague of mine whose brother in law was a pastor in Christ Embassy in South Africa. According to my friend, Chris's younger brother, who is in charge of the Christ Embassy churches in SA goes round himself to collect all the money from all the parishes. Also, another colleague told of a friend of hers who was dating one of the pastors of a Christ Embassy on Woji road in Port Harcourt. According to her, on sundays, the pastor would put the tithe and offering in his boot and then both of them would drive around town to some eateries and the pastor would just go to the boot, take money and be spending.
