Nigerian churches deny allegations of oil well allocations

Prominent Nigerian religious organizations, including the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Living Faith Church Worldwide, and the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, have denied allegations that former President Olusegun Obasanjo allocated oil wells to their leaders during his administration.

The claims were made by Rev. Mosy Madugba, founder of the Ministers’ Prayer Network, in a video circulating on social media. Madugba alleged that Pastor Enoch Adeboye, Bishop David Oyedepo, and Pastor William Kumuyi benefited from these allocations, which he claimed contributed to the financial capacity of their ministries to establish universities, hospitals, and schools.

A media aide to Pastor Kumuyi dismissed the allegations as ridiculous, stating that the cleric is solely devoted to preaching and has no interest in oil exploration or similar business ventures.
