Over 4,000 people sign petition to ban Nigerian pastor from entering US, EU

Over 4,766 people and counting have already signed a petition stopping popular clergy Reverend Funke Felix-Adejumo from entering the United Kingdom, the United States of America and Europe.

Reports say the move to seek the banning of Reverend Funke Felix-Adejumo was mooted after videos of her trending on social media shows how she requests huge amounts as seed offering.

According to one Mayowa Olaiya who kick-started the petition, Reverend Funke Felix-Adejumo should be banned from entering the UK, US, and Europe because according to him, she is a preacher who goes around the world swindling people.

Mayowa wrote in his petition; “Funke Felix Adejumo is one of a group of Nigerian religious Charlatans who regularly visit the UK to defraud the people and the country. They ask people to sow seeds for miracles and breakthrough and flee from the country with the funds without paying tax. They go from Churches to churches; this is a religious cabal network."

“This petition may not be unrelated to several videos showing the popular pastor asking for donations from church goers. In one video, she asks for N1million and in another, she asks for $1000, Naija.ng reports.

Daniel Audu, who started a petition that wants to stop the preacher from entering the US believes Reverend Funke Felix-Adejumo, is laundering money under the pretext of being a preacher.

Daniel wrote: “We are determined to stop the extortion and money laundering going on in the United States by fraudulent Nigerian pastor Rev Funke Felix Adejumo. She hides under the pretense of being a woman of God and extort money from gullible unsuspecting members in different Nigerian churches across the United States.

“We have reason to believe this woman is laundering money from the United States through the pretense of a church. This is an illegal money laundry channel and we need to regulate or stop this extortion.”

Meanwhile, reports say when the signatures on the petition reach 5000; it will be presented to British Prime Minister Theresa May who is then expected to act on it.
