The Redeemed Christian Church of God, Living Faith Church Worldwide, and the Deeper Christian Life Ministry have collectively denied allegations that their leaders were allocated oil wells by former President Olusegun Obasanjo during his administration.

The three major Nigerian religious organizations responded to the claim, which suggested that significant oil resources were distributed to their respective heads: Bishop David Oyedepo, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, and Pastor T.B. Joshua.

The denial comes as the churches address the specific assertion that former President Obasanjo facilitated the transfer or allocation of oil wells to these religious figures while he was in office.

While the source material confirms the issuance of the denial, it does not provide further details on the specific timeline of the alleged allocations or the precise nature of the original claim that prompted the churches' reaction.
