REVEALED: Nigerian Pastors Chris Oyakhilome and T.B. Joshua stashed Millions Abroad #PanamaPapers

Temitope Joshua, also known as Pastor T.B. Joshua is arguably the most influential preacher in Africa. The founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nation (SCOAN) attracts huge numbers of people from across Africa and beyond, many of them seeking faith healing from ailments and exorcism from demonic possession.

Recently, files obtained by PREMIUM TIMES from the massive leaked data of a Panamanian law firm, Mossack Fonseca, has now shown that Mr. Joshua and his wife, Evelyn, own Chillon Consultancy Limited, a company incorporated on June 20, 2006 at the British Virgin Island (BVI).

It remains unclear what businesses Mr. Joshua transacted with the shell company which has no physical presence in Tortola, the largest and most inhabited island at the British Virgin Island.
Chillon Consultancy Limited uses the office address of its registered agent, Mossack Fonseca as its contact information in the British Virgin Island.

An April 2013 investigation by PREMIUM TIMES also revealed that Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, founder and leader of Christ Embassy, has incorporated Gmobile Nigeria Limited, an offshore firm in 2007, at the British Virgin Island.

Although other individuals were listed as shareholders and directors, that investigation was able to determine that the pastor’s teenage daughters – Sharon and Charlyn – were the real beneficial owners of the company.

Like many mega preachers in Nigeria, Mr. Joshua is reported to live in opulence. Last September, online news website, Sahara Reporters, claimed the televangelist bought a Gulfstream G550 aircraft in April 2015.

According to Sahara Reporters, the jet, registered as “Synagogue Of Nations,” was purchased using the Bank Of Utah trustee as front.

A Gulfstream G550 is sold for as much a $45 million and could take up to $3 million dollars in yearly maintenance cost.
