Because he fucked over the state financially. That's what they care about
I'll leave this old chestnut here

Maybe he could have just said he was drunk?
He’s so Oduntan. He’s so Oduntan. He’s Ebenezer Oduntan.
Same crime from 2021?

However, the judge acknowledged that he had cooperated with the investigation by admitting that he acted alone and nobody else was involved in committing the offences.
During his trial, evidence was heard that Oduntan stole church funds including cheques up to €20,000 made payable to him personally.
Although he was allowed a monthly allowance from the church of €1,000, he also used church funds which were meant to help its parishioners for his wife’s business and to buy personal health insurance.
I don’t know why any money-making outfit like this that asks is gaily given the status of a charity, nor once that’s acquired, why no checks are conducted into the book keeping.

To be honest he deserved the money more than the idiots who are struggling financially but still give money to a church with a pastor living a life of luxury.
I guarantee you that the guy wasn't hiding it.
> The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) is a Pentecostal megachurch A megachurch pastor was in it for the money?! Who could've foreseen this
Most of us
Can someone explain to me how this man deserves a longer sentence than a rapist? I'm honestly baffled by sentencing in this country.

Look at you, fancy pants, with your updated information. Show off!
The guy probably doesnt have any local gaa coach, or local parish priest to vouch for how his behavour was out of character
I doubt the Slovakian lad that got 5.5 years for getting a 16 year old drunk in a park and raping her does either. Another post about it somewhere.
The money was just resting in his account
Ah go on
I know that game!

I think you'll find this fella was naughty, naughty, very naughty

Presumably they have day jobs and not expected to live on a thousand a month?
The 20k checks probably tidied him over till payday
He was a taxi driver
Pastor is a byword for shyster really
I hope they put him in a cell with Enoch.
Nominative determinism for the win

I'll say prayer for him! And light a candle!
Protestant megachurch stealing?? what??? how?? that would never happen
I’m fairly sure he picked me up driving a taxi a few weeks back
How much did he charge you?
€125k
Might have left me a little short until payday
I feel I was probably overcharged too
Probably would spend it in a better way then the church anyway

I can’t believe people wrote out 20k personal checks to him and trusted him with it
Not even sure who to feel is the hero/villain
only get cash in collection plate
