Mr. Femi Jimoh Was Not Framed By MFM; He Was Caught In The Act
3 min readI woke up to a trending story of one so-called Femi Jimoh claiming that MFM, or rather Dr. DK Olukoya put him behind bars for 9 years. The most annoying part is that uncanny people who have no shame—the so-called detractors of the ministry that are facing legal problems—are shamelessly and obviously making a mountain out of a molehill. People like Maureen Badejo and Funke Ashekun, who are yet to pay what they owe the ministry from their court judgments, are particularly notable.
THE STORY AS IT SHOULD BE TOLD
Our attention was drawn to an interview with one Mr. Oluwafemi Jimoh on a YouTube platform, wherein he alleged, among other things, that he was framed by MFM and jailed for nine years. After our thorough investigation, we decided to set the record straight for the general public. We realized that MFM did not frame this fellow, nor was he jailed by the ministry. We found out that he was prosecuted by the Nigerian police for a crime he committed.
After speaking to a few people about this matter, we were informed that Mr. Femi Jimoh, who was once a pastor of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries, was summoned to headquarters from the branch he presided over due to his unruly conduct and various infractions against the ministry’s rules and ethics, for disciplinary purposes.
THE ROBBERY PLAN
While he was supposed to be serving his rehabilitative discipline at the HQ, he plotted with a group of people to rob the church offerings sometime in the year 2000. This insidious plan was to be deadly since they had planned to use a gun for their heinous mission. However, in the act of hiring a gun, somehow, God exposed them, and the matter was reported to the Nigerian police.
The prosecution of the matter took about 8 years, after which he was imprisoned by the Nigerian police. He was eventually released on technical grounds. He then went to the National Industrial Court to sue the ministry, claiming damages of 500 million Naira and above for malicious prosecution and various other allegations.
However, it’s obvious that the honourable court saw through his lies and disagreed with Femi Jimoh, ruling that MFM was not responsible for his detention. Upon further findings from the court, he was not granted the damages he sought except for his salary owed during the period he was in prison.
In conclusion, Femi Jimoh committed a crime and was imprisoned by the Nigerian police for all these years because of the nature of the case in court. This has nothing to do with MFM or Dr. DK Olukoya, as has been suggested online, especially by people like Funke Ashekun and Maureen Badejo, who are supporting and embellishing the story of a criminal. Are you thieves? Because it takes a thief to support a thief.
