Winners Chapel pastor jailed for stealing church funds
Afolabi Samuel, a pastor of Winners Chapel, has been sentenced to three years in prison by a Lagos state special offences court for stealing $90,000 and N4.5m belonging to the registered trustees of the church.
The pastor was arraigned before Mojisola Dada, the judge, on two counts of conspiracy and stealing by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The EFCC said Samuel, who is the church’s treasurer, and Blessing Kolawole, an employee of Covenant University and currently at large, took advantage of their positions to steal the money and convert it to their personal use.
The offences contravened sections 278, 285 and 490 of the criminal law of Lagos state No. 11, 2011.
