He alleged that his ordeal began after he encountered Michael Gbadamosi, the then Chief Security Officer to MFM founder, Pastor Daniel Olukoya, at a native doctor's residence.
Former pastor of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM), Femi Jimoh, has reportedly died, years after he became the subject of a highly publicised controversy over his detention for about nine years in connection with an alleged plot to rob the church
Jimoh's reported death was announced by UK-based Nigerian blogger Maureen Badejo, who said the former MFM pastor died after battling serious health problems following years of detention and an alleged gunshot injury to his leg.
His death has revived questions surrounding the circumstances of his arrest, prolonged incarceration, his eventual acquittal by a Lagos State High Court and the allegations he made against officials of MFM during a viral interview with Yoruba Gidi TV in 2024.
Jimoh became widely known to a wider audience after appearing on Yoruba Gidi TV, where he gave an emotional account of his experience in detention and alleged that he had spent approximately nine years in custody without trial.
