The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, reportedly ordered the refund of billions of naira donated towards a church project after the EFCC traced the funds to proceeds of crime.
The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukoyede, disclosed this while addressing RCCG workers in the early hours of Saturday, November 7, during a meeting ahead of the church’s annual Holy Ghost Congress.
According to Church Times Nigeria, Adeboye had invited Olukoyede to speak on financial transparency, accountability and proper record-keeping.
Recounting the incident, the EFCC boss said investigations revealed that a church member had donated billions of naira towards an RCCG project, but the commission subsequently discovered that the money allegedly originated from criminal activities.
