Lagos Based Men Of God Fight Over N16.5M Profit From Land Sale

Three Pastors of the Living Faith Church, aka Winners Chapel

at Isheri Olofin area of Lagos State are at loggerheads over

the sharing of N16.5m realized from the purchase of a parcel

of land and property by the church.

The trio, who have taken the battle to a Lagos court, are

Deacon Dolire Oluwaniyi, an estate agent, versus two other

Pastors, Edwin Iky and Peter O. Odama.

    The Pastors acted on behalf of the church over the purchase

of the property, Vanguard reports.

In the suit before Magistrate’s court sitting in Ogba, with suit

number, MIK/4174/16, Deacon Oluwaniyi stated that the two

pastors cheated him after they collected N140m from their

General Overseer, Bishop David Oyedapo and paid N130m to

the owner of the property.

  He added that as the agent who linked the church to the

owner of the property, he was entitled to N6.5 million

commission which was also paid by the church but was

shared between the two pastors and he was not given a dime.

    Following the alleged scam, the claimant dragged the church

to the court seeking an order that he should be paid his

commission as a registered agent with his company’s name,

Bedek properties that facilitated the transaction.
