In a shocking turn of events, gospel singer Adebayo Bolanle has gone into hiding after reportedly receiving threats from Dr. Daniel Olukoya, the General Overseer of the Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministries (MFM). The threats were allegedly in response to comments Bolanle made about Olukoya, referring to him as ' Maradona. ' The leaked phone conversation between the two parties has sparked controversy and concern over the use of intimidation and abuse of power within the religious community.
According to a leaked phone conversation obtained by SaharaReporters, Olukoya threatened to have Bolanle arrested for her comments against him. Bolanle, fearing for her safety, went into hiding immediately after the conversation. The situation is made more concerning by the recent case of Ayotunde Richard, another gospel singer, who was reportedly detained for a week by the Force Criminal Investigation Department in Lagos, and his wife accused Olukoya and a church member of being behind his arrest.
In the leaked phone conversation between Olukoya and Bolanle, the cleric challenges Bolanle for allegedly speaking against him and referring to him as ' Maradona. ' Olukoya claims that the police provided evidence of Bolanle' s comments, including a message sent to a blogger named Funke Asekun, which was allegedly extracted from Ayotunde Richard' s mobile phone while he was in police detention. Bolanle denies making such comments and suggests that her number might have been hacked.
