Shocking allegations against Nigerian Pastor over N18m land scam

NIGERIA – A desperate cry for help from a Nigerian man on social media has sparked an outpouring of support after he accused his former pastor, Bishop John Mike Clinton of defrauding him N18m meant for a land purchase in a shocking betrayal that spans 16 years.

According to his TikTok post, the man alleged that Bishop Clinton swindled him out of N18 million. This staggering sum was meant for a land purchase sent by his son but vanished without a trace.

In a viral video shared on TikTok, the man recounts how Clinton allegedly defrauded him, leaving him with neither the land nor a refund. He also claims to have received threats, further exacerbating his distress.

The man describes his desperate attempts to confront the pastor, demanding to be shown the land he had paid for. However, he claims he was met with a cold shoulder, hostility and intimidation rather than a resolution to his grievances.

The confrontation took a dramatic turn, according to the man, who claims that a mysterious accident occurred shortly after – an incident he firmly believes was not a coincidence.This harrowing experience left him shaken, fearful and ultimately led to his decision to leave the church.

Haunted by a fraudulent scheme that has tormented him for years, the man is now demanding justice, his life forever marked by the fear and trauma inflicted upon him.

The man’s heartbreaking story has sparked widespread outrage and empathy with many users expressing their shock and disgust over his allegations against Bishop John Mike Clinton.
