The Senior Pastor of Harvesters International Christian Centre, Bolaji Idowu, has denied allegations linking him to fraudulent real estate dealings and money laundering, labeling the claims as unfounded and deceptive.
On Tuesday, reports emerged claiming that Idowu had been taken into custody in Abuja by operatives of the Force Criminal Investigation Department over his supposed involvement in real estate fraud.
A police spokesperson reportedly claimed, “Pastor Bolaji Idowu, popularly known for his ‘Next Level Prayers,’ is under investigation for alleged fraudulent real estate activities and money laundering.”
It was further alleged that the cleric regained his freedom following interventions by several prominent Christian leaders.
Addressing the allegations during his church's daily morning prayer session, Next Level Prayers, on Wednesday, Idowu denied the claims, asserting that he does not own or engage in property dealings within Nigeria.“I do not have any property in Nigeria. The only property I have in Nigeria is the one bequeathed to me. So, there is no property that I have or bought in Nigeria,” he said.
“Someone said I received billions into my account. My accounts are public; you can check if I have ever received billions in them. It is just a lot of things going on in the press, but this is not the forum to address that,” he stressed.
