The United Kingdom’s Charity Commission is investigating the U.K. branch of David Oyedepo’s Winner Chapel over the alleged misappropriation of at least £16 million (N4 billion) collected as tithes between 2008 and 2011. According to source, the U.K. Guardian reports that Over N250 million (£1 million) of that amount is said to have been repatriated to the Nigeria headquarters of the church between 2009 and 2011, from UK church’s account.

The congregants of the U.K. branch of the church are allegedly given credit cards forms to....
make donations as they arrive for service. The forms are inscribed with a verse from the Bible’s Book of Corinthians which reads, “God loveth a cheerful giver.”

Documents submitted to the Charity Commission show the parent organisation of the church, £8 million rich World Mission Agency, makes paltry donations to charity causes. Its books shows it donated N2.6 million (£10,500) to Great Ormond Street Children’s hospital and N2.2 million (£9,000) to Christian Aid for the Haiti earthquake appeal and N625, 000 (£2,500) to charities in the Lewisham area of London.

In contrast, it transferred N81.2 million (£324,683) and N165.8 million (£663,532) to world headquarters in Nigeria in 2010 and 2011 respectively. In 2009 and 2010 N48, 000,000 was set aside for “welfare assistance” for unnamed “certain member of the church.”

The Church also claimed it spent N37.25million “for charitable activities in Africa.”

Oyedepo founded the Living Faith World Outreach Ministry in 1981; it’s now one of  Africa’s largest congregations. The Faith Tabernacle, where he hosts three services every Sunday has a capacity of 50,000. 

He is also Founder and owner of Covenant University, one of Nigeria’s top tertiary institutions, and Faith Academy, an elite high school. He also owns Dominion Publishing House, a publishing company that publishes all his books.
