According to Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), he was duped by a man who said he would make him a commandant.
Adeboye said as much in a post on X, where he also disclosed how his desire to take charge of a paramilitary organization cost him dearly.
The cleric related how he was conned, but pointed out that the experience ultimately proved to be advantageous.
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.”
