Operatives of the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) of the Nigerian Police are currently questioning the Lead Pastor of Harvesters International Christian Center (HICC) at their Abuja office.
Sources within the police revealed to SaharaReporters that Pastor Idowu is under investigation for his alleged involvement in financial misconduct.
