Many people make light of one of the
commandments of the Supreme Being, which
states thus “thou shall not steal”. Countless
number of times, this simple instruction has
been flouted with several culprits getting away
unscathed, but, that is not the case this time as
you are about to discover.
If you are a clergyman or you are one of those
who steal from sacred places, desist so you
won’t end your life the way this man did.
Olawore, the man with the light fingers was
employed as an accountant with the Living Faith
Worldwide a.k.a Winners Chapel some years
ago.
It is mandatory that anyone who wants to work
with the religious body, must undergo the
church’s pastoral training irrespective of the
educational credentials presented. Before
Olawore was employed, he was duly made to
understand this pre-requisite.
He was therefore enrolled at the theological
seminary, from where he subsequently
graduated and was employed as an accountant
in the church.
Mr. Olawore as he was called to resume work
and was assigned to counting and recording the
church’s proceeds after every service.
According to an insider, the church’s strong
room has close circuit cameras installed in all
the environ except the toilets. Olawore
alongside other fellow accountants are saddled
with the responsibility of counting the money
and separating the hard currency from the local
bill.
Olawore, a close family source revealed was
very close to the bishop because of his
intelligence, this paved way for him to head the
department after a few years of his
stewardship.
But despite being close to the richest pastor in
the world, Mr. Olawore and some of his
colleagues were found to be stealing from the
church’s treasury. How did they do that with
the Close Circuit TV monitors around?
We gathered that they pinned the money in
their hand and take excuse to visit the toilet
where they would now hide it somewhere they
would later have access to, because, after close
of work, everyone will be subjected to thorough
search before they are cleared to leave the
strong room……
“sometimes they spend up to three days
counting money and separating the hard
currencies in different denomination. The tithes
are directly paid into the Bishop’s account.
It became possible for them to steal hard
currencies of higher denominations because
these are monies that will last them sometime
three days to finish counting. And while
performing that duty, some of them were
always using the convenience place to keep the
money till after they are through with it the
exercise before they would later go for their
harvest” an inside source told us.
You would be shocked that many atimes the
cleaners have even made themselves rich as
they often see monies stashed in polythene and
kept in the WC or sometime use the brush
holder as piggy banks to keep the money.
Few months into this act, Olawore who is said
to be blessed with the gift of prophecies was
always seeing where others used to keep their
stolen ‘goddies’ and as he has seen it, he would
always go directly to retrieve the stolen loot.
It got to a point that the money was so
enormous and he started buying lands all over
the place mostly at Agbado area of Lagos, and
at the same time living large and enjoying life to
the fullest, but he could only do this for a short
while, as his insatiable greed and appetite for
women ruined him and all he has acquired
through this shady means all went down the
drain.
As you are reading this, Mr. Olawore seems to
have become a recluse and is often seen
muttering to himself while walking the streets
without any hope of him regaining his sanity.
