On Tuesday, the Senior Pastor of Harvesters International Christian Centre, Bolaji Idowu, dismissed allegations linking him to fraudulent real estate activities and money laundering.
New Telegraph reports that Pastor Idowu was detained in Abuja by operatives of the Force Criminal Investigation Department over his purported involvement in real estate fraud.
Reacting to the allegation, the cleric during his online morning prayers dismissed the allegations, asserting that he neither owns nor deals in properties within Nigeria.
Idowu also refuted claims that billions of naira had been funnelled into his bank accounts as part of the alleged scheme, maintaining that his financial records are transparent and open to scrutiny.
