The crisis rocking the leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Ebonyi State chapter took another dimension as a new splinter group accused the Chairman, Rev. Dr Scamb Chinedum Nwokolo of siphoning the 50 million belonging to them.
The splinter group, in a statement signed by the chairman, Pastor Dr Aloysius Nweke Ogah and Rev Ogwale Ogwale alleged that Nwokolo and cohorts refused to account for the money.
A statement by the duo said, “The general public is hereby informed that due to the illegitimate and unscriptural inclusion of Rev. Dr. Scamb Chinedum Nwokolo, Bishop Dr. Anayo Ilo and Pst. Solomon Eriugo in Ebonyi State leadership structure of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, with their inconsistent lifestyle and refusal to give an account of over N50, 000,000,00.
“The members of the association have decided to abandon and avoid these three ministers and cohorts.
Consequently, a new membership structure to oversee the interest of CAN in Ebonyi State has been formed.
However, in response to the allegations, the state chairman, Rev Nwokolo claimed the splinter group are non-members of the Christian Association of Nigeria in Ebonyi.
“I don’t have anything with them, I don’t even know them. They’re not even members of CAN. “I can only react to issues coming from members of CAN, but for them, they’re not our members and you can check their antecedents,” Nwokolo said.
