The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has stated that he was defrauded by a man who promised to make him a commandant.
In a post on X, Adeboye stated this while revealing how his ambition to lead a paramilitary group led him to a significant loss.
Narrating the incident of how he was scammed, the cleric noted that the experience was however beneficial in the end.
He wrote: “Years ago, I was duped by man who promised to make me a commandant of a paramilitary group. He had been sending me messages through my secretary for a while. So, one day, I gave him an audience.
“He explained to me how a Boy-Scouts-like group had evolved into this new agency, and he was sourcing for who would lead the group spiritually.
“Normally, I ask God before getting involved in anything at all, but this time, my love for the military in my younger days beclouded my best instinct. He told me they needed some funding, which I gave as the prospective head. However, I later found out that the man was a fake.
“My desire made me run ahead of God, but God had already purposed for Redemption City to have its own corps of chaplains as well as a local Police post.
“He had planned for it to be fulfilled in His own time but I thought I could bring my desire to fulfilment in my own time, but I was wrong. What I lost in that experience was money, but for someone else, it might have been their life or a loved one.”
