with 15 others for their role in the printing and circulation of
fake naira notes across the country.
Rev. Akubuiro, 49, is General Overseer of The Mountain of
Breakthrough Deliverance Ministry, also known as Land of
Solution, located at Plot 7, Koya Estate, Igbo Olomu, Agric,
Ikorodu, Lagos from where he and other suspects were
arrested. The "pastor" hails from Imo State.
Pastor Akubuiro, who openly admitted the crime before
reporters, said he was "an ordained man of God" until the
devil overwhelmed him.
Kogi State Director of State Security Service (SSS) Mike
Fubara, who paraded the suspects, said six of them are Pastor
Godson Akubuiro's children.
Items recovered from them include equipment and materials
used in printing fake currencies, a large quantity of printed
fake notes, cut to size blank currency notes and N1.3million
fake naira notes.
He admitted that he had been involved in the criminal activity
since November 2012 in his house, along with his family
members.
Akubuiro said he was not using the money for himself but in
support of the less-privileged and the needy in his
congregation.
He pleaded for leniency, saying men of God were often
tempted like King David in the Bible, who though a man after
God's heart, fell many times yet was pardoned by God.
