Abandoned Project: Pastor Adeboye's Son, Adeolu Runs to Court to Stop Probe

Adeolu Adeboye, son of Redeemed Christian Church of God’s General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has sought an injunction in court restraining the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Kaduna State Government, and the House of Assembly from arresting or detaining him over an abandoned N17.26 billion project.

According to SaharaReporters, Adeolu received over N8 billion from the Kaduna State Government for a contract but abandoned the project after 30% completion.

The pastor’s son and his wife, who secured the contract through Ronchess Global Resources Plc during former Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s administration, have been evading accountability for the diverted funds and unfinished project.

Following the Kaduna State Government and House of Assembly’s probe into the alleged fraud, the cleric’s son filed a suit (FHC/L/CS/1206/24) at the Federal High Court in Lagos.

The 8km road project in Zaria was inspected by a Kaduna State House of Assembly team on May 16, 2024, and they found the site abandoned by Ronchess Global Resources Plc, owned by Adeolu Adeboye.

The period of contract is 18 months, and the expected completion date was January 2, 2021. Meanwhile, the contract was awarded to Ronchess Global Resources Plc on September 15, 2020.
