Amidst trending claims by Femi Jimoh implicating Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM) and Dr. DK Olukoya in his nine-year imprisonment, a thorough investigation reveals a different narrative. Contrary to Jimoh’s allegations, MFM did not frame him up or lead to his incarceration.
Investigations revealed that Jimoh, a former pastor at MFM, faced disciplinary actions due to misconduct and infractions against ministry rules. However, his imprisonment stemmed from a separate incident involving a robbery plot against the church’s offerings in 2000, wherein he conspired with others. This criminal act led to his arrest and subsequent prosecution by the Nigerian police, resulting in eight years of imprisonment.
Despite Jimoh’s attempts to sue MFM for damages citing malicious prosecution, the court ruled against him, affirming that MFM bore no responsibility for his detention. The court only granted him owed salary for the period of imprisonment. Thus, the case underscores Jimoh’s criminal actions and his legal battles unrelated to MFM or Dr. DK Olukoya.
