I don't understand the verdict.

How is that embezzlement? The morons pouring money into churches are aware that God doesn't have any bank account. So evidently the bandit standing on the pulpit is the ultimate beneficiary. I guess he has better use of the money than the ones that easily give it away.

Who do pastors pay tithe to? grin

Stop attacking the churches. For every bad pastor,there are hundreds of faithful,good and righteous pastors. Celebrate the good ones too!!!

most of these churches are used for laundering stolen funds.

a lot of the nigerian churches with branches outside nigeria get huge sums weeklyin foreign currency, that's why their owners will boldly tell you no matter how bad nigeria economy is, it will be well with their family. of course it will be well, they spoke no lies. they rely more on remittances from the overseas branch to stay afloat while encouraging their members in nigeria to pray for a better country cheesy

Kildare pastor convicted on 87 charges, including theft of €125,000

Ebenezer Oduntan, former pastor of Redeemed Christian Church, passed five times more than declared income through accounts.


A former pastor of a Christian church based in Kildare has been convicted of a range of theft charges, involving more than €125,000, as well as multiple breaches of company law and deception.

As well as stealing money, Ebenezer Oduntan, former pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) City of David, ran an elaborate fraud, generating payments from the Revenue Commissioners.

Mr Oduntan, Curragh Grange, Newbridge, Co Kildare, has now been convicted of all 87 charges he faced.

When his bank accounts were analysed as part of a criminal investigation into his finances, he was found to have passed five times more than his declared income through his accounts for the years 2012-2018.

His trial concluded with guilty verdicts on Wednesday at Naas Circuit Court after a three-week hearing. He was convicted of nine company law offences, 73 counts of theft and five counts of deception.

Mr Oduntan’s trial was told he stole church funds, including cheques made payable to cash and cheques of up to €20,000 made payable to him personally. The Corporate Enforcement Authority (CEA) also said Mr Oduntan ran “an elaborate fraud” involving the inflation of donations made to the church, which resulted in the Revenue Commissioners reimbursing more than it should have under the Charitable Donation Scheme.

He was investigated by the CEA, the Republic’s company law enforcement agency, and put on trial. During that three-week trial, evidence was heard from witnesses from the Charities Regulator, Companies Registration Office, Revenue Commissioners, AIB, Bank of Ireland, Life Credit Union, as well as from the current pastor and a number of members of the RCCG.

The trial also heard from a senior forensic accountant and member of the Garda seconded to the CEA for the purposes of carrying out criminal investigations. The CEA forensic accountant described a “total absence of standard financial controls and corporate governance procedures” within the church, which is a limited company, under Mr Oduntan.

The church he once led claims to operate on “a mandate to preach the gospel of Jesus to all people and nations, and its members to live a lifestyle of holiness”. It also defines itself as “a bible believing church under the direction and guidance of the Holy Spirit”.

The church is based at Naas Enterprise Park, Naas, Co Kildare, and at one point had a membership of more than 100 families, many of whom were the source of the donations from which Mr Oduntan benefited.

Midway through his trial, Mr Oduntan pleaded guilty to nine charges of furnishing false information to the Companies Registration Office, five counts of deception and 19 counts of theft. The jury in the case, before Judge Martina Baxter, on Wednesday returned guilty verdicts on all 54 outstanding charges.

After the verdicts were returned, Mr Oduntan was remanded in custody by Judge Baxter and was due to appear before the court again on April 10th

Such an elaborate scam.

This is why religious groups must NEVER be allowed to go off the trail. They MUST be monitored in terms of financial accountability and also ensure that they do NOT continue to use elements of scaremongering and mass psychology on their gullible members back in Nigeria or within the huge Diaspora communities in the UK, the U.S., Canada, Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire, etc.

He thought it is in Africa where fools will shield him by shouting "Judge not." and "Touch not my anointed".

They claim that hardship and lack of opportunities are the reason they resort to crime in Nigeria. But when they go to places with opportunities, they champion crime.

Meanwhile, those who condemn the entire Igbo tribe whenever an Igbo person is accused of a crime should try to understand that every tribe has criminals.

Most of or all the comments in this first page of this post do not condemn the entire tribe of the accused man. Most of the comments focus on the man and his action, without condemning his tribe. That is the right way to handle crime posts.

But if the man had an Igbo name, most of the comments will condemn the entire Igbo tribe and sound as if the post is about Obi and IPOB. Yet, it is falsely claimed that Igbo people lead in tribal bigotry on this forum.

If you want to quote and attack me and you are sure you are not just a hater of truth, present any front page post about an Igbo criminal, let's look at the comments on the post.

You are right. But, why are igbos are more reported on drugs, baby factory, human trafficking, and many others abroad? Six to seven out of every ten would be igbos connecting to crime. No one seems to the trust igbos in marketplaces, churches, places of work, government offices and all.
Since the first coup and counter coup, The northerners are wary if igbos as leaders.

I love igbo people, I have met quite a number of honest ones but, apart from religious considerations, the north would prefer any tribes to Igbos. I am not a northerner myself, I observed this in the north while there.

While igbos cry and wail on Nairaland, is it not better to look inwards and make people believe in them?

I've gotten a lot of mentions because of my post. This is probably the most times I've been mentioned on Nairaland. People have insulted me and called me names.lol. I care little. You need to STOP attacking pastors and churches. The church has done more for Nigeria than your government ever has. The church has built free school, hospitals, roads and given foodstuff to citizens,even Muslims.
Stop attacking the churches. For every bad pastor,there are hundreds of faithful,good and righteous pastors. Celebrate the good ones too!!!
I rest my case.

The difference is every tribe condemns the criminals in their midst but the igbos justify and protect the acts of their criminals with a lot of what about and how the country is so hard.



immortalcrown:
He thought it is in Africa where fools will shield him by shouting "Judge not." and "Touch not my anointed".

They claim that hardship and lack of opportunities are the reason they resort to crime in Nigeria. But when they go to places with opportunities, they champion crime.

Meanwhile, those who condemn the entire Igbo tribe whenever an Igbo person is accused of a crime should try to understand that every tribe has criminals.

Most of or all the comments in this first page of this post do not condemn the entire tribe of the accused man. Most of the comments focus on the man and his action, without condemning his tribe. That is the right way to handle crime posts.

But if the man had an Igbo name, most of the comments will condemn the entire Igbo tribe and sound as if the post is about Obi and IPOB. Yet, it is falsely claimed that Igbo people lead in tribal bigotry on this forum.

If you want to quote and attack me and you are sure you are not just a hater of truth, present any front page post about an Igbo criminal, let's look at the comments on the post.
