Says It’s an Intent to Damage his Reputation and Destroy the Global Image of the Church
The General Overseer of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM), Dr. Daniel Olukoya has dissociated himself from any link to fraudulent activities allegedly involving the London branch of the Church.
Dr. Olukoya, responding through a statement made by his media aide, Collins Edomaruse said that the seven allegations levelled against him and the MFM were without foundation, but an intent to damage his reputation and destroy the global image of the Church.
The information has it that Charity Commission, an independent regulator of charities in England and Wales, had appointed an interim manager to manage Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries International (1100416), a north London-based charity, which exists to promote Christianity.
The interim manager was saddled with the responsibility of reviewing the charity’s financial and governance processes, inspecting a number of the charity’s branches and their handling of serious incidents.
In his statement, Olukoya said: “It has become pertinent for the purpose of clarity to respond to the false allegations being peddled against MFM and Olukoya in the social media particularly sponsored by an unfriendly media organisation.”
He denied that he falsely “claimed residence of the US city of Maryland. Nothing can be further from the truth. Olukoya is a public figure nationally and internationally. His domicile is therefore a fact of public knowledge.
“The true position is that the pastor who wanted to register MFM in Maryland inserted Olukoya name without prior consultation with or knowledge of the G.O because he believed that Olukoya should be involved.
“But after he consulted a lawyer and received advice that a person’s name cannot be on the incorporation documents unless he is resident in Maryland, that registration was put in abeyance and allowed to lapse.
“The pastor is still alive and all the evidence is there for all to see at the Company Registry in Maryland,” the statement explained.
The statement, also, faulted the allegation that Olukoya Illegally imported books into the United States and evaded payment of customs duties on those books.
It said Dr. Olukoya’s books are sold on Amazon and “It is foolhardy for anyone to suggest that he brought in his books to the US illegally when he can and has been doing so legally.
This false allegation according to the statement was said to have been pioneered by a former Pastor of MFM who tried to steal MFM Branch in Maryland, the United states of America.
