Adeboye, Oyakhilome at war over a parcel of land

There’s currently an ongoing war between
two respected clerics, Pastor Enoch
Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church
of God (RCCG) and Pastor Chris Oyakhilome
of the Christ Embassy over a parcel of land
located along the Lagos-Ibadan
Expressway.
It has been gathered that the two men of
God are battling over a portion of land,
which spread across Oloke, Asese, Maba
and Gideon Villages in Ogun State and have
been engaging in war of words.
Reliable sources around the area said that,
in March, this year; there was a big fracas
between mercenaries of the two churches
on the controversial land where some
reportedly lost their lives.
We learnt that the Christ Embassy’s thugs
were led by one Lukman Jimoh, popularly
known as Ogo Oluwa and they drove to the
place in a Volvo Car and Toyota Hiace Bus.
Our findings revealed that, the
RCCG has petitioned the Inspector
General of Police, and asked him to wade
into the matter, which is almost going out
of hand.
RCCG in the petition, a copy made available
to an online magazine called orijoreporter,
while recounting how they came about the
property, said that despite the fact that the
land falls under the government acquisition
area, the church had in June 1999 paid
ratification fees for the land to the late
Alhaji Tajudeen Ogoluwa (Lukman’s father)
who gave the church a Deed of Surrender,
signed by him and witnessed by one Waidi
Ogunsesan.
The church added that it was also given
allocation of the land for 99 years by the
Ogun State Government in a letter signed
by the Director-General, Bureau of Lands
and Survey, Surveyor Gbenga Ogunnoike.
RCCG also alleged that Ogun State
Government issued a Certificate of
Occupancy with the number 025748, dated
November 7, 2006 and signed by the
governor.
The IG, it was gathered, directed the
Eleweran Police Headquarter in Ogun State
to resolve the matter between the two men
of God, Pastor Adeboye and Pastor
Oyakhilome.
