The Ukrainian Interior Ministry has accused the pastor of the Embassy of God, Sunday Adelaja of defrauding citizens of money, the ministry's Department for Media Liaison and International Activity told Interfax-Ukraine on Tuesday.
Adelaja was accused as part of investigating a criminal case on King’s Capital opened in January 2009, the ministry said.
“The investigator accused Nigerian citizen Sunday Adelaja, who permanently resides in Ukraine and is a senior pastor at the Embassy of God church. The accusation was made under Part 4, Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (the embezzlement of funds in very large amounts via fraud),” the ministry said.
On March 14, Adelaja was again banned from leaving his place of residence. This measure had already been applied to the pastor.
