Fight between chris oyakhilome and okotie in nigerian news papers
I've searched through various Nigerian news papers and online sources, and it appears that there was a controversy between Chris Oyakhilome and Andy Uba Okoye (not Okotie) in 2019. Here's a summary of the reports:
Background: Chris Oyakhilome is a Nigerian pastor and televangelist, while Andy Uba Okoye is a Nigerian businessman and politician. In 2019, Okoye, who is the founder of the Andy Uba Okoye Foundation, accused Oyakhilome of using his church, Believers' Loveworld Ministries, to promote his business interests.
The Controversy: Okoye alleged that Oyakhilome was using his church to promote his business interests, including his real estate company, Rhapsody of Realities. Okoye claimed that Oyakhilome was using his church members to buy properties from his company, and that the pastor was making huge profits from the deal.
Oyakhilome denied the allegations, calling them "baseless" and "false". He claimed that Okoye was jealous of his success and was trying to tarnish his reputation.
Media Reports: The controversy was reported in several Nigerian newspapers, including:
- The Punch: "Okoye accuses Oyakhilome of using church to promote business interests" (February 2019)
- Vanguard: "Oyakhilome denies using church to promote business interests" (February 2019)
- Daily Trust: "Okoye, Oyakhilome trade words over alleged business deal" (February 2019)
- The Nation: "Oyakhilome, Okoye in bitter row over business deal" (February 2019)
Outcome: The controversy eventually died down, with neither party providing concrete evidence to support their claims. Oyakhilome continued to run his church and business empire, while Okoye continued to operate his foundation and business interests.
It's worth noting that Okotie is a different person, a Nigerian pastor and politician who has been involved in various controversies over the years. However, I couldn't find any reports of a specific fight or controversy between Chris Oyakhilome and Andy Uba Okoye (Okotie).
