Yesterday there were reports that a private jet was seized and two Nigerians were being investigated for trying to smuggling $9.3 million in cash into South Africa (read
here). It turns out that the private jet the money was found in belongs to the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN president, Ayo Oritsejafor via a company he co-owns, Eagle Air. But in a statement released today, Pastor Oritsejafor said he had leased the jet to another company so had no control over the use of the jet.
"On behalf of Pastor Oritsejafor, we can confirm that although he holds an interest in Eagle Air, the aircraft in question is not operated by Pastor Oritsejafor. The aircraft was leased to, and is operated by Green Coast Produce Limited since August 2” a statement from the church read.
Green Coast Produce Limited then released a statement saying that the aircraft was hired by one John Ishyaku and therefore they can't be liable for any alleged
infractions either in Nigeria or South Africa after the hire.
“On the 5th of September 2014 the aircraft was hired from us by a John
Ishyaku. The charter to John Ishyaku was upon the following documented
terms: (a) Depart Abuja-Johannesburg on the 5th of September 2014 (b)
Return to Abuja on the 6th of September 2014 (c) To wait and return with
the passengers. All cargoes were accompanied by passenger who could readily defend the
contents. We are not and cannot be privy to any alleged extraneous cargo
transported on the aircraft other than that declared in the agreed
terms of hire. We are not liable and cannot be construed as a party to any alleged
infractions, either in Nigeria or South Africa as he case may be, after
the hire of the aircraft." the company said.
The private jet carrying the money, allegedly meant for buying weapons, landed at Lanseria International Airport, Johannesburg on September 5. The money was loaded in three suitcases but attracted suspicion when the suitcases were scanned. The money and the jet have been seized by SA customs pending investigation.

More investigations pls SA
Eagle Air, and he also owns Eagle height University. Didn't Pastor Ayo tell us that the 'donated' private jet would be used strictly for his pastoral duties?
Did Nigeria not scan the suite cases? The comptroller and sss should go and review the departure tapes.
Nigeria youth are roaming around street looking 4 job and little money 2 support their families but Men of God squandering millions like its water. *only God will judge u all* ######QUEENMAYA#####
That's your man of God right there, bloody thievery and corrupt happenstances abound. Crooked as their father the devil that they pretend is God.
Hmmm, Nigeria
People are funny. Aircraft owners always lease their aircrafts to companies to run. The owners don't decide what the aircraft is used for. Abi if you lease out your car to a taxi company, wetin concern you with what the passenger carries in the car. Pls don't drag people into issues that don't concern them. Police for Lagos dey hold passenger or taxi driver with bad luggage not car owner wet fit dey im parlour for abuja dry sleep. Simple common sense. Don't let politics blind your sense of judgement, or else you remain like that forever.
Jet belongs to Christian Association of Nigeria president...hehehehe
oya, Ishyaku tell us which politician or political party or boko haram sponsor you are working for...
Pheeew! Its a pity. And to think some people wanted to crucify Sahara Reporters for saying the jet belongs to Oritsejafor.

Linda wat is wrong with u? Is dat how u re s'pose to caption it? Biko change it.
hmmm,going by what i see now,that means his not guilty,cause he leased the jet to company and the company leased it to john isyaku...so the john should be held accountable...the pastor is free
So he makes so much money by having an interest in Eagles Air? See how una pastors dey spend una money yet church members are suffering. Naija 'men of God'....una try o.
Why carry cash though? Millions of dollars is moved around the world daily, but ELECTRONICALLY, from account to account. That's how grown ups do it.
These bush thieves need to learn how to do business international style.

Please where are Linda Blog commentators?
I love reading ur comments.
The NSA should Tell us who Ishakyu is working for .
I thought the plane was for spreading the gospel? When GEJ gave him the plane, that was the explanation. How is it that the plane is now serving commercial purposes? How come he gave the plane out to be operated commercially by another company. Soon someone will say man of God and that proceeds will go to church activities.
hmmm does he really knw anyfin bout these?#iamswish#

Well, i guess all those praying to see the fall of men of God will hide their heads in shame. Why rejoice at another person's demise? Bad bele no good o! Udo!!
Why won't they treat Nigerians like dogs with these kind of frudulent acts. 9.3 Million USD, Chai. Na we dey do our sef bad and give oursef bad name
Jesus!
The things that are done, I mean the things that are undone behind the flimsy facade of your name, Oh God! If our eyes had not seen, we would have believed we dreamt it all..... Church and Church members. I rest my case.
Pastor my ass! It's the plan of him, Asari Dokubo and Edwin Clark to use Niger Delta boys to start violence in case Jonathan loses next year's election. That's why they're buying weapons.
But that's not a problem to me at all. Let them even break away with their oil right now, so other people can start building the kind of nations they want. I'm tired of this forced marriage.
It would be fun though watching them from a distance kidnapping and killing one another.
4rom what is happening in d world now. I can see anada world war springing up. Its well, let d will of God be done. (Ntichika)
I'm a Christian and this don't smell right. Private jet, owned by a pastor, with cash - lots of cash, and then weapons...a pastor just shouldn't be near this story. #justsaying#
See how our money dey take dey fly. Oh my country why?????????
Simple as quoted,,
D Richz gona get Richer,
D brokez gona get Broker..
*No double words*
Oh I see smh dis political pastor sef
We all know CAN is pro PDP an the Pastor is GEJ's person so the fingers point right back at him
Good, they are getting exposed one by one. Contrary to the lies they feed us this BH thing is beyond Northern leaders
People can be funny they read yet they don't understand, where was it said that the money belongs to pastor Ayo didn't u read where it was stated that the jet was lease? Please you people shouldn't say things you don't know about men of God.

If dis was buhari or el rufai's jet we for no hear the end of dis story. Dey for arrest the whole Apc ppl. But it's thr soo called Man of God. Anyways Allah will soon expose them all. Blood liars. Evil ppl. God punish them all.
Am sorry. You are a fool. You will die on that lvl of being a slave
Pls, read d content very well b4 jumping into conclusion. D jet was lease out to a company n hired out by d company. How does it related to d man of God. Be very careful with ur conclusion so dt u don't sin again God n man.
Weapons for Boko Haram abi? The truth is coming out
I bet if it was Tinubu that owned the Private Jet and leased it out, all of you supporting the Pastor will be ranting and crying fowl.
I trust we now see how criminals buy illegal arms and smuggle same into Nigeria:
1.Oritsejafor must be arrested and questioned - there is NO WAY he would not have known that his private jet was leaving the country and who was in it - unless he now runs flight charter services!
2. Let the South African Government not release the Nigerians arrested. They should be interrogated there, because we all know that if they are returned - the matter will die a natural death. Its obvious that there can never be justice done in this country.
3. Who owns the $9.3 million and who were to be the end users of these arms?
4. The Ministry of Defence dare not claim that this thwarted spend was on its behalf - or is that how weapons for the Nigeria Army are and have been purchased??
5. The Jet should be impounded and never released and only handed over to credible bodies like the UN or the United States to properly investigate.
SO ORITSEJAFOR IS NOW A GUN RUNNER???!!!!
Shame of a Nation!
I wonder who the real book haram sponsors are. Hmm.
Hmmmmmmm
It's a shame...wah men of God do this days having partisan with controversial pple dah gives naija bad names.
He got a jet he could not maintain. So he had to resort to leasing. thot he said the jet is strictly for reaching out to his church members. Is he paying tax for the business?
Moron! Are you that stupid. Last time I checked, its called Private Jet, not cargo or Passenger plane.
This heading is misleading, i must say that your obvious bias against pentecostal pastors is quite evident
yedepo is seeing red, T.B. Joshua is hearing voices,, Oyakihlome is consulting lawyers, Orisejafor is selling arms. So who's worshipping God?
What's wrong in this Country? May God see us through. Amen
End time stories...#Story 4 d gods
Y'all that are good at reading n not understanding, where did it say that the money is his. He only leased it out and if they can make money from it, why not? Like pastors are not humans that must have some needs met. And no, he is not my pastor
Na only the plane waka come, there is God o.
Boy separate yourself from the unlearned if you are learned.Did you read the aircraft was leased and Mr Ishayaku was the passenger that owns the money.
Mind what we say about Men of GOD
Be guided.
9ija people I hail oooo, that means there's no security in our own (9ija) Airport? So who is deceiving who? Corruption @ its peaks
I wish i could give you a hug and congratulate you for this comment. You have just escaped from slavery.

Pastor Gun Runner
This is someone using their brains. This "pastor" feels more like a gangster to me.
Don't mind the mumus.
Story for the gods. It's beyond me how some people venerate these crooks calling themselves men of God.
Nobdy wan claim ownership now o... Very soon they would say they leased it to ME
God go open their yansh one by one
U are a bastard. Ur mother completely wasted her time giving birth to u. See enh, may u suffer pain in dis ur life, abject poverty is ur portion, stagnation will neva leave u, and in d end, may u die a slowww wickedly painful death. Beast!
Gullible idiots lik u r d problem in dis country, continue being a fool all in d name of religion...oponu oshi
Suddenly dis now became a trial times for all of then,jst within a space of one month,pst chris,tbj,president of CAN,jst look at,now people will start rantin nonsense,touch not my annointed,if dis should happen to a governor or president or a native doc,d same people wil then say is their sins dt is befallin upon them,see our society where we hv dis kind of powerful people called MOG,if at least their preachin of lov n forgiveness is 10% our society wil b better but they don't at all at all,all they ask u is sowin seeds n tithes then wil receive promotions or prosperity or success,y can't they ask u to go n forgiv someone dts d only way prosperity wil come ur way,those people they tell dt is after u,y can't u tell them to go n show some luv to them n preach d gospel to them for they wil repent n dts d only way prosperity wil come ur way or pray dt thete should b peace among u n dt person or people rather they tell u sort of things dt wil make u hate d person d more,is dt d teachings of CHRIST? I knw some people wil start arguin quotin esp Psalms for me,I repeat is dt the teachings of CHRIST?
Leave then to their fate ooo. When poverty knock their door that is when they will change. Let them continue to talk evil about men of God
We are scorned at, whenever we tell them religion is just a tool for control and zombedism-and now this! Pastopreneur Ayo Oritse is just one of the criminals that bandy the appellation "pastor" to hoodwink idiotic and dumb-ass Nigerians,and then invoke the "thou shall not touch my anointed" epistle to keep idiots quiet. Only an idiot believes any Nigerian "pastor".
I think a whole lot of you guys need to go back to school. If you dont know how to read and can't accept that you are illiterate simply say so with humility!! The report says Lease just as u would lease a car to someone to use for a perios of time to pay back. Foolish people, u read things upside down with no sense in your heads
Thank U Kukere
Cock and bull story. Money Laundering by the thieving pastor and his cohorts exposed. Almighty God is exposing them one by one within a short Span of time. People shine your eyes, you have eyes yet you cannot see!!!
I dont understand the comment of some people here, do you actually expect AYO to come out and say 'the money is mine I sent them'? or better still 'its just a side mission from the Aso Rock since am the aso rock national pastor'?. Wake up people this is Nigeria!!! Afterall FG claim now the crew were on a legitimate business. Harms dealers, drug dealers, and money lauderers uses what is called 'plausible deny ability' just like this one.
Ask yourself: What bank gave out 9.3million dollars when an average Nigerian can not withdraw more than 1million cash (cashless policy they cal it)
Do not be deceived, there is more to the story and they are all involved.
I rest my case!!!
washing your hands off! maybe they are trying to set the man up! but who knows
The jet was leased indeed!!!! Lol!!. Twisting story and playing the blame game. Of course we don't expect the liar to own up and take responsibility, that's always the case. First Chris talk him own, TB talk him own, now Orisejafo dey talk him own. Birds of the same feather emeshed in controversies. N E X T!!!!!
I see why most of u will never get higher than the lvl of commenting on linda's post...all of you dumb idiot seem not to understand what ownership,lease and hire mean...you should use the Google search engine on your phone's if your able to access LIB you should be able to do that too.even Bonario or whatever he calls himself tyipcal lowlifes am sure you pple never own anything worth leasing in your family genealogy
Shameless so called men of God,they ar being exposed one after d other,oyakhilome,tb joshua,oritsejafor,d list continues
I love this guys comment that is why i pasted it. Nigerians are funny people and that is why we most of us are foolish in followership.

It seems some of u don't really read or fully understand news wen they r presented to you. Maybe u just read headlines and just make senseless comments. If u lease out a property to another, are you liable for wot the person you lease it to carries with it?

Expose what.. God will expose you too for doing nothing...strange people...quick to condemn good men but love the Nicki minajs of this world
Leave the man alone...I done see you criticizing Nicki minaj for showing the whole world her yansh
Nigerian youth should go and start a business..

Correct man...fair judgement..don't mind these anti christian fools......
So prostitutes like Nicki minaj can have jets...but good people can't...see the bias of these hypocritical idiots
Don't be stupid dude...
Amen o
So that is your plan....blame the Christians...wevdone catch una
All you people that think pastors should be poor are the problem with this country...so bad people can be rich but people trying to be good should be poor...bias of confused minds
Correct
But the man of GOD still collect interest on the Jet buz.hahaha,is that what bible tell us to be platform for evil and he will pay tithe from that interest.i am a christian,there is much wrong with this.Even,if he claims he didn't know anything in which I believe too,but he is collecting money from evil's buz.God is watching.

please lets be careful with what we say and lets wait until they are thru with the investigation only God knows that are serving him but please don't lets judge God bless us and God bless nigeria
Lease or not leased is the question, the answer is Ayo Orisejafor's name is linked!!!, that is the surprising koko of the matter. That is what ppl are talking about. And after that the remaining story fit follow.
Men of God, men of God!!! Please someone should define that properly make we hear word. scammers!!,
But he said he is no longer in control of the jet...haba Lindodo...this ur headline enh
Best comment ever...
I've always thought that they were creepy things about this man of God and his Afro big headed wife......thieves,can rapture happen already make we for see them?
Some of you just saying rubbish on here, wonder if you guys do understand what's been said....mind you he isn't the owner of the money but the person he leased his aircraft to owns it so all you peeps saying rubbish should read and understand before jumping into conclusion. Where did you guys read that he owns the money that was seized by the South African authorities.
