Churches require EFCC approval before withdrawing even a kobo from their accounts with banks.

**most churches have to cancel their crusades because the fund to organise it were trapped in banks.

**one is confused at how pastors, especially in the South East, South West and South South have become sponsors and financial backers of Boko Haram from Sanusi’s directives.



Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor has frozen the bank accounts of most churches in Nigeria under what his office claimed to be seeking for sponsors of Boko Haram. Many churches have been stranded since the past two weeks due to their inability to withdraw money from most commercial banks due to a CBN directive that they must provide their list of shareholders and directors before they could access their funds. Sanusi is much aware that churches and Mosques in Nigeria do not have shareholders or directors.



The churches in addition are required to fill forms which will be taken to Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for endorsement before even a kobo will be withdrawn by them.

This stance of the CBN under Sanusi have crippled a lot of church activities within the past two weeks.



In Enugu, a cleric who anchors Healing Has Begun crusade, Archbishop A.A Nwodika had course to cancel a crusade because the fund to prosecute it was trapped in banks. In the same note, the preparations for the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) biennial conference in Enugu State billed for next month is being hampered because PFN cannot access their account and their State chairman, Bishop Obi Onubogu whose attempt to access the funds was unsuccessful had called upon concerned members to assist them with aid so that the conference does not fail.



This stance of the CBN was principally given as caused by the determination of the Bank to fish out financial sponsors of terrorism including the routes through which they launder money. The Christian Association of Nigeria have threatened a showdown with CBN and whosoever is responsible for the order.



The CAN leadership under Oritsejafor had asked all the churches affected not to fill any form in any bank . They asked their members whose funds have been so seized to forward such evidences to their respective state secretariat for onward transmission to the National secretariat.

The legal adviser of CAN have threatened legal redress if Sanusi and his cohorts at CBN do not lift the order. CAN leadership gave the order at Umuahia last week when they converged to inaugurate the newly elected Abia State Chapter of the organization.

They argued that churches are registered under Act C which is for non governmental organization while the CBN demands is for Act F which obtains for business organizations.



What is surprising to many is that President Goodluck Jonathan had earlier said that Boko Haram sponsors are in his government. His special assistants on Media, Reuben Abati and Doyin Okupe had alluded to the fact that Boko Haram is sponsored by certain Northern Muslims. Therefore, one is confused at how pastors and gospel ministers, especially in the South East, South West and South South have suddenly become sponsors and financial backers of Boko Haram from Sanusi’s directives.

Those involved in money laundering are politicians and public servants and these people are accessing their funds freely while churches and pastors are being unnecessarily victimized and indirectly tagged sponsors of Boko Haram.

What! Even the tithes and offerings?

Fake news!

Good!

Guys, allow the man to do his job. Coming here to tell us some northern muslims, etc are the one sponsoring Boko Haram even when no major sponsor has bee arrested, doesn't make any sense.

You can't narrow an investigation that has not even commenced to a specific section of the populace. The search for Boko Haram sponsors has become so difficult to do because some powerful people who are probably close to government are behind it.

All religious organisations must be scrutinised - muslims, christians and even pagans if they have bank accounts.

It is interesting that some people are afraid of being investigated and now beginning to wipe up religious sentiment.

Sanusi, go ahead and fish out the sponsors. We should even begin to check their previous financial transactions - all religions.

"**one is confused at how pastors, especially in the South East, South West and South South have become sponsors and financial backers of Boko Haram from Sanusi’s directives."
iz this the new slogan..... how many more will have to go through this route in the name of BH?
Hope it is a fake news as someone already said.

Please, are we to continue paying tithe which may be seized by the CBN? Can the bedroom of the general overseer contain the millions coming in every day from worshippers?

Sanusi cannot single-handedly freeze the accounts of churches. The president, service chiefs and NSA would certainly be aware and must have given such directive to the CBN. Also it wasn't Sanusi who passed and signed the anti-terrorism Law. No particular religion or group was stated in there. CAN should re-direct their anger elsewhere! Sanusi is just doing his job in accordance with the existing law!

Please, author, supply a reputable source. This is a major story, which if true, should have appeared in the mainline media.

Cant they just invoke holy spiri to strike him down!

Where yur source please?

This is wickedness at the highest order!


This man Sanusi is the real boko sponsor and his religion.

**most churches have to cancel their crusades because the fund to organise it were trapped in banks.

Reads like a tall tale.

M

If the news is true:
What is so difficult about feeling forms and getting necessary clearance??

This is one of the best moves made so far by Sanusi. The next should be restriction of amount of money a Church can have in their account and the excess shared back to the poor Church members.

The worst is that these people commit anti-christian activity in broad day light without fear. On what basis did he freeze the account and i doubt if he did notify the church.

Abagworo: This is one of the best moves made so far by Sanusi. The next should be restriction of amount of money a Church can have in their account and the excess shared back to the poor Church members.

are you sure you dont have problem? What Sanusi did is discriminatory and was done in disobedience to law. In fact,it was done in bad faith. When did church start to sponsor boko haram that almost annihilate them?

What!!! Wtf

Let us know how genuine this is first.

i really dislike bloggers. always carrying fake news to advertise their website

Professor Gerry Gana is alleged to have bailed out the late Boko Harem leader Yusuf from police custody on several occassions.

Google "jerry gana and mohammed yusuf"

Fake news!
Now this is very sensitive. I wonder why any coconut head will decide to start a story this sensitive

cogitoErgo: Cant they just invoke holy spiri to strike him down!

If the money we collect on sundays is truly for God, holy spirit will definitely strike Sanusi.

Otherwise, eyes should open.

Oya! Mountain of fires begin to call down fire on Sanusi.........
.
That's why i don't believe this new generation church's (paintcostals) and their holy ghost fire antics.
You have power to kill devil which believe to be spirit but you can not use it on ordinary human being like Sanusi
All na fallacy

Na lie

Another ..

If its true, then


THANK GOODNESS!!!

Those pastors from self acclaimed Holy Ghost Fire on the Mountain Tabernacle Church are part of the problem in the country. They are there looking at doing crusades even though it doesnt include overthrowing the corrupt politicians and arresting former Generals that looted. Nonsense

They want to imitate in extreme forms African American pastors from the West, yet no one wants to take the bullet that Martin Luther King took, or even promote what he promoted, but private jets, yes, millions of dollars, yes, patronage from dubious men with money and position, yes.

Yet, their churches are not affiliated with established churches worldwide, because what?

They are fake azz.

In fact it humors me. I cant stop laughing at people like you from the Ni.gga Area who are brainwashed by these "men of god".

But I dont blame you. You are a local boy, and do what local boys do.

If news is true then Enemys/Lovers will talk but the man is acting on behalf of FG
