In Delta State, a pastor reportedly sold his church and congregation to another pastor before relocating abroad, creating a mystery around the details of this unusual transaction, as reported by Information Nigeria.
Pastor Samuel Ojo, the spiritual leader of Graceful Abode Church, is said to have brokered and handed over his entire ministry to Pastor Michael Ade, who already had his own congregation.
