Oyedepo sacks senior church officials over fraud

The Presiding Bishop of Living Faith Church, also known as Winners’ Chapel, David Oyedepo, has sacked some officials for allegedly stealing from the church’s treasury.

TheCable quoted Oyedepo announcing the sack on Saturday during an empowerment summit organised for the church’s ordained workers.

He did not reveal the number of officials dismissed, the report said.

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

“Those who should discover the fraud were the ones involved in it. One of them refused to confess until the last minute. Can you imagine accountants perpetrating fraud in the house of God?

“Don’t employ them, don’t sympathise. Whoever sympathises with the wicked is wicked himself. Don’t sympathise with any perpetrator of fraud, otherwise, you are a partaker of the evil act.”
