General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God,Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye has every reason not to be too happy at the moment with some of his pastor.The reason may not be unconnected with some acres of land meant for church expansion that had been acquired behind him by some of his aides for personal use.
According to source,the land which is over 50 acres(300 plots,since six plots make an acre) has led to a face-off between the amiable clergy and some of his pastors numbering about 100.
According to our source,some landowners whose names we couldn’t ascertain as the time of filing the report came to Pastor Adeboye few months back(in 2011),requesting him to buy some of their land near the Redemption Camp along Lagos/Ibadan Expressway.
We learnt that Daddy G.O,as Pastor Adeboye is fondly called,told them he was interested in the land which is worth about N100 million.However,he asked that they should give him sometime because he had his hands on so many projects-and they all accepted his position.
We scooped he informed some of his aides at the church council about the development.Sadly, we learnt he got the shock of his life few days back when he approached the landowners for payment-but was told the land had been bought.When he enquired from them who bought the land,he was informed some of his pastors approached them behind his back and negotiated for the pieced of land.
A spokesperson for the ministry confirmed the tale Yes,it’s true that Daddy G.O had a meeting with the church pastors on Saturday,January 7,2012,where he stated categorically that those pastors who have acquired certain parcels of land meant for the ministry to either donate them to the church or quit the land
