Delta Pastor Sells Church And Congregation To Another Pastor Before Relocating Abroad
A Delta State pastor has caused a stir after he reportedly sold his church and its congregation to another pastor before moving abroad.
Pastor Samuel Ojo, the founder and leader of the Graceful Abode Church in Delta State, allegedly handed over his entire ministry to Pastor Michael Ade, who had his own church in the same state.
According to local sources, Pastor Ojo did not inform his church members of his decision to sell the church and relocate abroad. The church members were shocked and confused when they discovered that their pastor had left and a new pastor had taken over.
The reason for Pastor Ojo’s sudden departure and the terms of the sale are still unclear, as neither Pastor Ojo nor Pastor Ade have made any public statement on the matter.
The unusual transaction has raised questions about the ethics and integrity of religious leaders, especially in a country where many people rely on their faith and trust in God.
Some church members have expressed their disappointment and anger at Pastor Ojo’s action, saying that he betrayed their loyalty and devotion. Others have said that they will continue to worship at the Graceful Abode Church under the new leadership of Pastor Ade, hoping that he will be a better shepherd for the flock.
The Delta State Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has said that it is investigating the incident and will take appropriate action if any wrongdoing is found. The association has also urged the public to be wary of false prophets and pastors who exploit the people’s faith for their own gain.
