BREAKING: Former MFM Pastor Femi Jimoh Reportedly Dies After Nine-Year Detention, Legal Dispute With Church He alleged that his ordeal began after he encountered Michael Gbadamosi, the then Chief Security Officer to MFM founder, Pastor Daniel Olukoya, at a native doctor's residence.
Femi Jimoh, the former pastor of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM), reportedly passed away after enduring a nine-year detention and legal dispute with the church. His death was announced by UK-based Nigerian blogger Maureen Badejo, who detailed his ordeal and the allegations he made against MFM officials during a 2024 interview on Yoruba Gidi TV.
Jimoh claimed that his troubles began when he met Michael Gbadamosi, then the Chief Security Officer of MFM, at a native doctor's residence. He alleged that he was arrested, physically abused, and shot in the leg by a Divisional Police Officer while in detention. Jimoh also accused officials of torturing him before being charged with various offenses, including attempted murder, conspiracy, armed robbery, and felony.
Despite his claims, MFM denied any wrongdoing and stated that Jimoh was only held in custody due to a lack of bail support. A Lagos State High Court ruled in 2016 that Jimoh and two others were acquitted of conspiracy to rob MFM, finding that the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt.
