The EFCC said the funds had been identified as unlawful contributions and that Pastor Adeboye ordered their restitution, though it did not disclose further details about the amounts or the parties involved.

In the political arena, President Bola Tinubu held a rally in Rivers State, drawing supporters and underscoring his continued engagement with the region’s electorate.

Separately, the Ogun State government issued a response to the African Financial … (afod) inquiry, addressing concerns raised by the body, though the specifics of the reply were not disclosed.
