Media personality, Daddy Freeze has showered love on his friend and flamboyant pastor, Pastor Tobi Adegboyega the founder of Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church (SPAC), a Pentecostal Church based in London, England as he battles an alleged fraud case.
Kemi Filani News reported on Friday, June 17 that the court heard that SPAC Nation which was incorporated in 2012, as a charity set up to advance Christianity has been defrauding its members.
At first, the church group received positive reviews and media attention. But by late 2019 SPAC Nation was subject to media scrutiny following allegations by former church members that they had been financially exploited by senior church personnel.
The Insolvency Service received complaints about SPAC Nation before instigating its own confidential enquiries into the church group’s activities.
Investigators interviewed one of the company’s directors, Adedapo Olugbenga Adegboyega, who was also known as Dapo Adegboyega or Pastor Dapo. During interviews, Mr Adegboyega said that the church group had over 2,000 members and 200 ordained ministers and pastors but failed to provide any supporting information.
Further enquiries found that SPAC Nation either failed to comply or only partially complied with statutory requirements, including providing data to support claimed donations, and accounting records in support of £1.87 million of expenditure.
The company’s financial statements for the two years to 31 December 2019 set out £610,000 of rent expenditure. However, the company did not have a single base of its own and would hire venues across London to hold services, at significant expense.
Salvation Proclaimer Ministries Limited was wound-up after the court concluded the company operated with a lack of transparency, filed suspicious or incorrect accounts, and was insolvent at the time of the hearing.
It was also recognised that the company provided inconsistent information to the Insolvency Service and Charity Commission, and failed to deliver up adequate accounting records.
The company remains subject to a statutory inquiry by the Charity Commission, which is examining financial, governance and safeguarding matters at the charity.
Taking to his Instagram page, Daddy Freeze showered love on him.
Sharing a video of him, Daddy Freeze described him as a nation builder.
He wrote, “Nation builder”.
Kemi Filani news recalls Daddy Freeze had an Instagram live session with Pastor Tobi Adegboyega where he addressed the controversy.
He claimed that the UK government needed a scape goat and because his church is the biggest black church, they chose to use him.
He said, “We have never take tax returns before. If they have the guts or liver, they should pick us if we have done anything wrong. They need a scapegoat, we are the leaving black church here. The company they shut down is company that I don’t associate with”.
