Oyedepo expresses disappointment over millions stolen by church officials

The founder and presiding Bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide, also known as Winners’ Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo, has expressed his disappointment about goings on in the church.

Speaking at the empowerment summit organised for ordained workers of the church, the cleric said he was disappointed that professionals trusted by the church to prevent fraud turned themselves into a network of fraudsters.

Oyedepo talked about how some very high up officials, mainly accountants, had looted the church’s treasury. The man of God, however, disclosed that those involved in the act have since been relieved of their positions in the church.

He said: “Can you imagine accountants perpetrating fraud in the house of God?

“We had no choice but to dismiss them. You can imagine top church officials engaging in doubling figures and other dubious practices. “Even after we dismissed them, we discovered more fraud.

“Those who should discover the fraud were the ones involved in it. One of them refused to confess until the last minute.”

Oyedepo advised church members against employing or sympathising with any of the dismissed officials. According to him, anyone who sympathises with the wicked is wicked himself.
