with Magu at the hospital.

payment for his hotel stay during the period.

with Magu, the pastor confirmed Magu stayed
in the hospital with his wife when he visited
and had no knowledge of any hotel stay.
“The chairman then queried the church’s
source of funding, the pastor’s lawyer then
expressed his disgust at the line of
questioning. He informed the panel that the
church sources funds like every other churches
and mosques,” a source said.

the panel of misleading the public, adding that
it was serving as a tool in the assassination of
characters of innocent citizens.

pastor to make available his wife for
questioning.

every discerning Nigerian who reposed
confidence in him and his ability to do justice.

to consider all possible legal action to redeem
his image against the panel,” the source added.
