Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Church, Dr Paul Enenche, has denied reports that he donated items worth N2 billion to the Federal Government of Nigeria to fight the coronavirus pandemic.
He said the documents which generated the reports were “fake and false.”
Enenche denied the reports on the church’s official Twitter handle@DunamisGospel.
“Our attention has been drawn to a notice circulating the internet allegedly stating the “donations made so far for the fight against COVID-19 in Nigeria” with the Name of the Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre Worldwide, Dr Pastor Paul Enenche as the 8th on the list of Donors, allegedly contributing two billion naira worth of items,” the church said.
It said though Pastor Enenche made “generous, free-will contributions towards combating the COVID-19 pandemic as part of Christian social responsibility, the alleged donation of items worth N 2 billion to the cause of fighting COVID-19 is an exaggeration of what was freely given, and God will never bless a lie.”
The church did not list the items or give the worth of the items in naira on its Twitter page.
The church said some equipment were given to a rural health care centre that was in desperate need of help, and the other materials were given for distribution to the masses.
It stated that a comprehensive list of the items donated was given to the representative of the minister at the point of presentation; showing transparency and integrity.
“The general public is therefore advised to ignore that mischievous notice and desist from sharing it. God can never bless a lie,” the church said.
“We will continue to work with the Government and Citizens as The Lord permits to alleviate the sufferings of the Masses as we have already carried out other well-meaning rescue to the people.”
