Fresh facts have continued to emerge over the recent presentation of a
private jet to Papa Ayo Oritsejafor, founder of the Word of Life Bible
Church Warri, Delta state and President, Christian Association of
Nigeria, in commemoration of his birthday and 40th year anniversary on
the pulpit.
According to an investigation by Sahara Reporters, Oritsejafor's jet
is a Canadian-made Bombardier jet with US registration number N431CB
which was manufactured in 1994 and previously belonged to two
different owners in the US.
The jet was reportedly flown out of the US from Morristown, New
Jersey, in September 2012 ostensibly to be retrofitted and serviced
before delivery last week to Mr. Oritsejafor.
Investigations over the internet revealed that the jet's owners in New
Jersey listed it for sale in July 2012.
The data also showed that the jet had once been upgraded to give it
more engine power. The jet's interior is furnished with gold accents
in the toilet and bathroom area.
Although the cost of the jet was not announced, investigation revealed
that it could cost as high as $4.9m (Naira equivalent at current
official exchange rate of Dollar to Naira is N769,300,000).
Now, let's move on to better things and stop condemning, or for some
people, feeling bad about the success of men of God.
