Bishop Oyedepo Fumes Over Plans By Government To Close Accounts Of Churches - Edoman - 08-17-2020 The defender of the gospel in Nigeria, The Media Apostle, posted a video on his Gospel page on Facebook where Bishop David Oyedepo issued a fierce warning to Alhaji Garba Abubakar, the Registrar General of CAC who sent him a circular and to other GOs of megachurches. The circular reads " The Chief Registrar of CAC has the power to remove trustees of the church, close the account of the church and no court can invalidate it.

The law which permits the registrar-general of Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and a supervising minister to strictly supervise religious bodies and charity organisations, also gives the commission power to suspend the trustees of an association or a religious body and appoint an interim manager or managers to coordinate its affairs where it reasonably believes that there has been any misconduct or mismanagement, or where the affairs of the association are being run fraudulently or where it is necessary or desirable for the purpose of public interest. In his sermon on Sunday August 16, the founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide who questioned the rationality behind subjecting churches to same laws as companies, averred that such laws were borne out of government’s jealousy about the prosperity recorded by the church. Oyedepo maintained that the law will not work out in the church as he also criticized the election of old politicians into political offices. He said; Quote:“The church is God’s heritage on earth. Molest the wife of somebody and you will see the anger of that person. |
