The leadership of St. Peter Cathedral Church,
Ake, Abeokuta on Sunday cautioned corrupt
public office holders not to donate part of their
looted funds to the church, else a report would
be made to security agencies.
The Diocesan Bishop of Egba, Emmanuel
Adekunle, said this in his sermon at the Ogun
State Police Command 2016 Thanksgiving
Service held at the Cathedral Church in the
town.
The cleric pointed out that it has become the
trend for treasury looters to donate to churches
from their ill-gotten wealth; lamenting that,
even when churches are aware, they praise the
looters.
He said, “Don’t steal where you are working
and bring to church as donation or tithe, we
shall not accept such gestures, whether as
donations or tithes.
“If we discovered such we shall expose the
donor. If you do this you will be ridiculed.”
He said that those with clean wealth should not
hesitate in bringing such to the house of God.
The cleric, however, charged residents to be
watchful in their various communities, as a way
to uncover criminal activities within.
He pointed out that criminals are not ghosts,
but reside within communities, hence the call for
community policing.
