Govt shuts down popular church over £1.9m fraud
The United Kingdom Government has shut down Salvation Proclaimer Ministries Church, popularly known as SPAC Nation.
The London-based group was wound up after failing to account for over £1.87 million of outgoings and operating with a lack of transparency.
The investigation of the founder, 42-year-old Nigerian-born Pastor Tobi Adegboyega started years back.
Reports had it that he and one other spiritual leader, Mariam Mbula told their parishioners to raise £100,000 a week.
UK’s Insolvency Service in a statement on Friday said the church takeover was done in the High Court on June 9 before Judge Burton. The Official Receiver has been appointed as the liquidator of the company.
The government said further enquiries found that SPAC Nation either failed to comply or partially complied with statutory requirements, including providing data to support purported donations.
