Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo reacts to $5million Ponzi investment fraud, says he’s not directly involved

KICC Head Pastor, Matthew Ashimolowo has reacted to news that made the rounds late last year that he was involved and defrauded of $5million he invested in a Ponzi scheme. Read the statement he released yesterday below...
“The attention of Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo and KICC has been drawn to publication in the media with the headline: ‘Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo loses $5million to Ponzi Scheme’.
“We wish to state that the headline was unfortunate and misleading and has caused damage to the reputation of Pastor Ashimolowo. The sensational headline suggests that Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo lost $5million when INFACT HE DID NOT and did not make the decision to invest.
“Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo is the Senior Pastor of KICC and not her trustee and has never been a trustee of KICC.
“As you are aware from the Charities Commission’s report, the decision to invest was solely that of the U.K trustees without any involvement of Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo.
“Importantly as the report states, it is the trustees who have the responsibility for investing Charity Funds and NOT PASTOR MATTHEW ASHIMOLOWO.
“The investment referred to were made by former trustees on behalf of the Charity over SEVEN AND HALF YEARS AGO. They believed they were acting in the best interest of the Charity and they did not and have not benefited personally.
“Their actions were totally independent and were not influenced in any way by Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo.
“KICC is a Charity whose main aim is to advance the Christian religion in the U.K. and around the world as well as provide local communities with a great deal of counseling and support, including educational, bereavement and prayer support.”

  14. For a token sum KICC could have engaged the services of a strategic communication professional, who would have crafted a well written response that would have better served the image and reputation of both Pastor Matthew and KICC.

    This kindergarten response further brings ridicule to the reputation that it was meant to protect.

    Like I always say, money is never the issue, access to it and then management are the principle things.

  15. A senior pastor and owner of the church is part and parcel of the trustees. Denying your involvement is a lie...just be honest with God and own your mistake and get the money back and make a refund back to the poor church goers. No need to lie pastor. its a sin and you know it!!!
