Pastor Tunde Bakare of the Latter Rain Assembly in a recent interview with Sahara reporters shared his opinion on the issue of CAN President, Ayo Oritsejafor’s involvement in the$9.3 million arms deal.

Bakare said: “You can not take the action of one person and blame it on the whole Christian body. Whoever owns the jet and involved should be named rather than blame it on the entire Christian body”.

He said if he it is true about Ayo Oritsejafor saying he leased his private jet to the company and had no issue with it, he should not be blamed but if otherwise, the truth has a way of coming out.

However, reacting to the call for Oritsejafor to resign, he said he will never asked for resignation until the matter is properly judged as he stated there is a body that should investigated the matter.

It would be recalled that on September 5, 2014, two Nigerians and an Israeli attempted to smuggle the sum of $9.3 million conveyed in a private jet into South Africa which was seized by the country’s authorities.

The seizure of $9.3m by the  South African authorities has since trailed with a lot of controversies, especially after reports surfaced that the private jet used to convey the money belonged to the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor.

Its reported, yesterday that the presidency denied Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, the national president of Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN’s involvement  in the controversial $9.3m arms deal in South Africa.

“The linking of Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor is the most unfortunate thing; to put the very respectable, responsible, honest and sincere President of CAN in this matter is the extreme of mischief”.

Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor although he said the private jet belongs to him he has, however, denied involvement in the controversial $9.3 million.

“Please permit me to state clearly before God and before all of you here present today, that I am not a party to the movement of $9.3m from Nigeria to South Africa to purchase arms and ammunition. I am not part of the deal. I know nothing about it”.
