Omega Fire Pastor Sacked For Using Church’s Account In MMM

SAN FRANCISCO, January 17, (THEWILL) – Apostle Johnson Suleiman-led Omega Fire Ministries, OFM, Worldwide, has expelled one of its pastors, Joseph Aiyedun, for using the church’s name and bank account to register for money doubling scheme, Mavrodi Mundial Moneybox, better known as MMM.

OFM stated that its investigations showed that the relieved pastor actually participated in the ponzi scheme, explaining that he was sacked for dragging the ministry’s name into MMM, which it called satanic adventure.

The leader of the church had last year condemned MMM as demonic and satanic, stressing that participants of the scheme need prayers.

In a statement issued by its head of administration, David Apelorioye, the church disclosed that the pastor and other Omega Fire members were already subscribed to MMM before Apostle Suleiman’s warning against the scheme.

The statement reads, “The management of Omega Fire Ministries Worldwide is using this medium to react to a news making the rounds on the social media regarding one of his pastors who used the ministry’s name to register for the MMM scheme.

“Ordinarily, the church would not have reacted to the story because of falsehoods being published regularly by some blogs and news websites whose credibility are questionable.

“But after a thorough investigation by the church authority, it was established that one of our branch pastors in Aba, Pastor Joseph Aiyedun, indeed participated in the scheme.

“The church authority decided to expel Pastor Aiyedun not because he registered for the ponzi scheme but because he involved the ministry’s name in the satanic adventure. And we discovered that he was able to use the ministry’s name because he had access to the account of his branch which itself is against the church’s guidelines and a fraud likely to have been carried out in connivance with the branch’s account department. We are still investigating further to unravel the whole activities.

“Of the OFM’s 200 churches in Nigeria alone and its 800 branches in 51 nations of the world, it is possible for any of the pastors to go astray and be corrected. In fact, we discovered that Pastor Aiyedun, including some other members of OFM, did the scheme before our father, Apostle Johnson Suleiman, made the warning last year against MMM, but Pastor Aiyedun was fired because he did it with the ministry’s name as the OFM rules forbid any of its pastors access to the account except people in the account department.”
