The investigation follows Oyakhilome’s widely reported divorce with wife Anita.
The Charity Commission in the United
Kingdom has launched an investigation on Chris Oyakhilome, and his
alleged estranged wife Anita over the transfer of N941m by the couple’s
church Christ Embassy to overseas entities between 2008 and 2012.see more detail below...
The
Commission released a statement over the matter on Wednesday, September
3, 2014, stating it has opened a statutory inquiry to investigate
Christ Embassy over “a number of serious concerns relating to the use of
charitable funds, in particular large connected party payments and the
potential misapplication of grant funding.”
“The
Charity Commission, the independent regulator of charities in England
and Wales, has opened a statutory inquiry into Christ Embassy
(registered charity 1059247) to investigate a number of serious concerns
relating to the use of charitable funds, in particular large connected
party payments and the potential misapplication of grant funding”, the statement read.
The
purpose of the inquiry according to the commission is ‘to examine the
regulatory concerns raised and determine whether there has been any
mismanagement or misconduct on behalf of the charity trustees’. The
commission further explained that it is only the ‘normal practice to
publish a report on its website on conclusion of the inquiry setting out
what issues the inquiry looked at, what actions were undertaken as part
of the inquiry and what the outcomes were’.
The
investigation follows Oyakhilome’s widely reported divorce with wife
Anita. The latter reportedly accused the popular Nigerian pastor of
adultery. Reports say Oyakhilome has however denied the news,
threatening to sue media houses who reported the story of his alleged
divorce.
