Police Release Pastor Bolaji Idowu After "Intervention From Aso Rock" - Religion

 

The Nigerian police have released the Lead Pastor of the Harvesters International Christian Center (HICC), Bolaji Idowu, from its custody after big shots in the Aso Rock Villa, which is the seat of the Nigerian government and some clerics in the country "intervened", SaharaReporters has learnt.

SaharaReporters had reported that Pastor Idowu was arrested by the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, for alleged N1.5billion fraud.

It had also been reported that Idowu would spend the night in the custody of the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) of the Nigerian police over the allegations.

Meanwhile, in an update to SaharaReporters by top police sources late on Tuesday evening, it was revealed that the pastor was released after some forces in the Aso Rock Villa and some top pastors in the country mounted pressure on the Nigerian police.

"Pastor Bolaji was released late into the evening after big pastors and President Tinubu's Aso Villa intervened in the matter," one of the top police sources revealed to SaharaReporters.

"He has been asked to pay back the money traced to his account in two weeks," the authoritative source added.

SaharaReporters earlier exclusively reported that police operatives from the FCID were grilling Pastor Idowu, in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

SaharaReporters had learnt from top police sources that Idowu, who is also popularly known as the "Next-Level Prayer Conference" pastor was arrested and is under probe for alleged real estate fraud and money laundering.

Giving an update to SaharaReporters, top police sources at the FCID had revealed that Pastor Idowu would be sleeping over in the police cell for the alleged crime.

"The case emanated from one of his pastors who duped several people in a real estate scheme," one of the top sources had revealed.

"The police investigation showed that several billions of naira in the scheme were traced first to Pastor Bolaji's church account and later to his personal account," the source had added.

Pastor Idowu started the church in December 2003.

Over the years, it has expanded locations across Nigeria, the United Kingdom and the United States of America.

According to the church website, the Harvesters church attracts over 70,000 worshippers both online and onsite.

Pastor Idowu's "Next Level Prayers" is a platform where participants offline and online are encouraged to build a prayer life.

Dangote: In Celebration Of Egotism, Selective Amnesia, And Revisionism - Politics

Image
  John Dryden, a 17th Century English poet and literary critic, while painting a picture of the unscrupulous nature the politicians of his days stated that “Politicians neither love nor hate”. This description which highlights the emotionless, soulless, treacherous, and decidedly selfish nature of politicians, even till date, can be applied to businessmen. The brazen manner in which they pursue profit at the expense of everything wholesome and noble is comparable only to the shameless way politicians abandon principles in pursuit of power. My rumination on Dryden’s statement in relation to businessmen was prompted by the report of multi-billionaire businessman, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, saying that he did not enjoy any incentive from government while building his $20 billion refinery. When the report first popped up on my phone, my first reaction was that he must have been misquoted. When the news began to appear on many other platforms, I decided to read various versions of it to unde...
