Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministry, MFM and the General Overseer, Dr. Daniel Olukoya have said that he did not frame or jail his former pastors Mr. Femi Jimoh and Caleb Oloruntele or any other person for nine years or any period.
Olukoya spoke against the reports circulating the social media which called for his arrest and prosecution over the alleged police torture, and incarceration of Mr Femi Jimoh who was one of the Pastors of the church.

 

“MFM is a responsible church that takes the welfare and security of all its members very seriously.

 

“While we continue to show kindness and forgiveness to our erring staffs and rehabilitating such erring staff, MFM and its General Overseer will not use its fold to harbour or hide anyone with any criminal intent or motive capable to harm others,” he said.

One of the witnesses, Pastor Moses Oluwadare said, “Truly, he, Pastor Femi Jimoh worked with me at the MFM branch in Warri, Delta state but when I heard that he was involved in adultery in 2002, I brought him to the MFM headquarters in Lagos and was taken for three weeks deliverance.

Meanwhile, the CSO of the church, Mr. Michael Gbadamosi who was accused by Mr Femi to have been seen in a herbalist’s house said, “I have never been to Ogbomoso to see any herbalist and that is my case”.

Adejuwon further explained that, “It was absurd to imagine that a church as big as MFM would frame up two of its Pastors just because of a claim that the church’s CSO was seen in a herbalist’s house.

 

“There is nothing Femi will do to me. He should stop blackmailing anyone for the crime he committed. He cannot spoil my name that I have built for years”.
Another witness, Adebayo Fatai also known as Aboki buttressed Omojomlo’s claims that, Pastor Femi offered him and his friend a job, to rob MFM church and that he knows him very well.

 

However, efforts to contact Femi Jimoh or his lawyer proved aborted as the contacts were not connecting.
