Femi Jimoh’s Allegations, False, Mischievous, Cruel – MFM
The Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM) has denied the allegations made by a former Pastor of the Church in a viral video, describing his story as false, mischievous, misleading and cruel one.
The church said Jimoh while working with the ministry had serially got himself involved in one offense or the other at every branch he was posted to serve, before he was redeployed back to the headquarters for internal discipline believing he would change but he never.
His recent emotion laden story has generated mixed reactions among Nigerians putting the Church in a bad light .But, the Pentecostal Church in a swift reaction, stated that Jimoh alongside Caleb Oloruntele had planned to rob the Church and cart away the ‘First Fruit Offering’.
The Ministry exposed his mischievous acts on Friday while addressing journalists at the Church’s headquarters in Lagos.
While setting the record straight, MFM through its Chief Legal Adviser, Mr. Davidson Adejuwon noted that some of the lies being told to the public on this issue has created a number of misconceptions among a section of the public.
Among other lies he is spreading around is that the church and the General Overseer kept him and his co-conspirator One Mr. Caleb in jail for 9 years despite the plea and beg from his mother.
Adejuwon maintained that judgement of the court on the criminal trial stated clearly that he was granted bail but they refused to perfect their bail condition.
“Clearly, all that was expected of Mr. Jimoh, his mother and relatives as well as Caleb and his relatives was to get credible sureties to meet the bail condition which does not include payment of any sum as being misunderstood by majority of people who are not lawyers. Is it not curious to push a narrative that Dr. Olukoya, the General Overseer locked them up when all members of their family refused to get the two individuals for 9 years to stand as their sureties for them to be released?.
MFM is a responsible church that takes the welfare, safety and security of all its members very seriously. As such a case of planned armed attack on credible intelligence against the church which could have led to the death of any member is not one that can be treated and handled internally by the church. We have duty to report such to the law enforcement agency saddled with the responsibilities to investigate and deal with such issues. And that was exactly what we did as a responsible church. All other events that transpired thereafter at the police station and during trial were completely out of the control of the church because being a criminal matter, it became a case between the State and the Defendants.
“The MFM Church and its General Overseer, Dr. Daniel Olukoya did not jail Mr. Femi Jimoh and Caleb Oloruntele or any other person for 9 years or for any period at all. What purpose will it serve or what does the church stand to gain by framing up two of his ministers? It is absurd to imagine that a church as big as MFM will go so low to frame up two of its pastors just because of a claim (which is false) that a Chief Security Officer (CSP), of the church was seen in an herbalist house.
MEM Church and its General Overseer, Dr. Olukoya remain committed to the welfare as well as spiritual and physical wellbeing and development of its members and the humanity at large.
Corroborating the church’s story, three men whom Jimoh approached to join him in the robbery attack narrated how they discreetly recorded their conversations with him and how they were able to save the church from the deadly attack.
M.r Akeem Momodu a.k.a Omojomolo , Mr Adebayo Fatai popularly known As Aboki and Mr, Tajudeen Oseni also know as Orji said Jimoh believed they are his accomplices not knowing that they were just playing along to expose his evil plan.
Also, Mr. Micheal Olawale Gbadamosi, the Church’s Chief Security Officer, (CSO) clarifies that he has never been to Ogbomoso town in his life not to talk of going there to see an herbalist. All were all liers
