The Lead Pastor of Harvesters International Christian Center (HICC), Pastor Bolaji Idowu, has dismissed widespread social media reports claiming his arrest and involvement in real estate fraud and money laundering.
Addressing the matter during his popular Next Level Prayer programme on Wednesday morning, Pastor Idowu categorically denied the allegations, emphasizing his lack of involvement in the real estate business.
“Over the last 24 hours, there has been a lot of news about me on social media. I just want to state some facts,” he said. “I heard that I was involved in real estate. Firstly, I do not have any property in Nigeria. The only property I have in Nigeria is one everyone know. Secondly, I do not sell or buy properties. I am not in that business.”
The pastor further addressed claims concerning financial misconduct, inviting scrutiny into his financial dealings. “My accounts are public accounts. Go and check if I ever received billions into my accounts,” he stated.
These remarks come amidst a storm of speculation following a report by Sahara Reporters alleging that Pastor Idowu was arrested and under investigation by the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) of the Nigerian police for alleged financial crimes.
Pastor Idowu, known for the leadership of his church and prayer programmes such as the Next Level Prayer Conference, continues to lead HICC, a church known across Nigeria, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
