GHc1.5 million Omnibank loan ‘causes confusion’ in a church

Information available to YEN.com.gh suggests that the leader of the Voice of the Lord Evangelical Church, Apostle Samuel Dadzie, has been dismissed by the church.

According to a report by MyNewsGH.com, Apostle Dadzie was fired by the national hierarchy of the church following a series of financial scandals that have rocked the church.

YEN.com.gh understands that Apostle Dadzie contracted a loan of GHc1.5 million from OmniBank Ghana Limited without the approval of the National Executive Council (NEC) of the church.

He also allegedly failed to reveal to the NEC how the loan was put to use.

Between January to September 2018, workers’ outstanding salaries was GH₵89,400.00 with 2017 outstanding salaries being GH₵44,217.00 as the church is currently bankrupt due to misappropriation of funds by Apostle Samuel Dadzie.
