Sholabomi Richard, a Nigerian woman, has leveled accusations against Dr. Daniel Olukoya, the General Overseer of Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministries.
She expressed her dismay over the unjust arrest and detention of her husband, Ayotunde Richard, a gospel singer, by the Force Criminal Investigations Department (FCID) at Alagbon in Lagos State.
Taking to her Facebook page to address her husband’s followers, Sholabomi accused the police of reopening a petition filed by the church’s chorister, Opeyemi Emmanuel, against her husband.
Sholabomi lamented that on Tuesday night, a group of policemen came to their house in Eagle Estate, Magboro, Ogun State, with the intention to arrest her husband over an “issue that had already been long resolved”
Her words;
“As we are at home now some people came banging at our door and by the time we interacted with them through the window, because we have never experienced the way they were banging our door before, they told us that they are policemen from Alagbon Police Station and they came to see my husband.
“The police said there was a petition against my husband based on past development. The petition they are talking about was the one Opeyemi wrote against my husband which has been settled by police commissioner at the highest level before now.
“It has now been revisited; they told us that the matter is now a serious one, that is how my husband was arrested. I am begging all my husband’s followers to intercede.”

During a recent conversation with SaharaReporters, Sholabomi expressed her views on the arrest, portraying it as a significant humiliation orchestrated by Dr. Daniel Olukoya, the General Overseer of Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministries, against her husband.
She further elaborated that her husband had held the position of the right-hand singer alongside Olukoya until he faced an indefinite suspension and eventually decided to resign from the church.
Parts of her statement reads;
“My husband is Ayotunde Richard and I am his wife Sholabomi Richard. I totally promise that this matter is a serious humiliation by Dr Olukoya against my husband.
“Ayotunde Richard used to be the right-hand singer of DK Olukoya until he was suspended indefinitely for admonishing a pastor that misbehaved. My husband submitted his resignation letter to DKO and all manner of issues have been thrown at him for taking bold steps.
“When my husband left the church, a woman was being used by Olukoya to petition my husband on issues of cyberbullying, a threat against a minor, and defamation of civil servants which are lies.
“They are all false charges brought against my husband. Opeyemi Emmanuel, a singer at MFM headquarters Praise and Worship singing group, defamed my husband’s name on Facebook when Ayotunde Richard called her out to stop the witch-hunt in the church. But instead, she was the one cyberattacking and defaming Ayotunde Richard.
“These same allegations had already been resolved at the Special Fraud Unit (SFU) by the Assistant Commissioner of Police. But because Daniel Kolawole Olukoya wasn’t satisfied with the parties apologising to each other, DKO revisited it using Alagbon police.”
