T.B. Joshua: found to have shell company registered in British Virgin islands

Pastor Temitope Joshua, leader of the Synagogue Church of All Nations miserably failed to shake off accusations that he has hidden assets with the busted Panamian law firm Mossack Fonseca.

After initially denying having an affair with the law firm and setting up a shell company, Premium Times, a partner of the German newspaper that leaked the Panama Papers to the world, has published four documents linking the preacher and miracle worker to Mossack.

The documents showed that Joshua has a link with Chillion Consultancy Limited, a company registered at the British Virgin Island (BVI), a notorious tax haven.

The shell company was incorporated in BVI on June 20, 2006.

The pastor had posted a statement on his church’s Facebook Page, denying ownership of the company and suggesting the report was fabricated to pull him down.

Now the documents show that Mr. Joshua and his wife are owners of Chillion Consultancy.

The documents include Certificate of incumbency which shows the company as being in good standing at least until December 13, 2006, Register of members, Register of Directors and Case Details – Shareholders/members of the company.

The documents show that while incorporating the company, Mr. Joshua or his agent provided Mossack Fonseca with details of his valid passport at the time with which he was identified in all transactions related to him and the company.

Joshua joins the league of other Nigerians who have been mentioned in the leaked papers. Others are Senate President Bukola Saraki, his wife, Toyin, Senator David Mark, Lt. General Theophilus Danjuma, Mr. Folorunso Coker, Lagos state commissioner for Tourism. Also mentioned is Dan Etete, a former oil minister.

This arguments still does not hold water. To prepare a fake certificate of incumbency is a simple thing, even for a laymen. You just need to go to google images and search for sample certificate of incumbency for British virgin islands sample. Then, download your sample and open it in an editing programme like Photoshop or paint or Microsoft office picture manager or something. then, you just need to insert whatever names you want on the certificate. then print it and scan it. voila! you have a leaked panama papers document! You also need to search online for a credible company name that you can use. Like Nicholas Ibekwe, he searched and found a company that was registered in UK in 2012 called CHILLON CONSULTANCY LIMITED. He then decided to thief their identity and use them as the company that T.B. Joshua registered in 2006. they will be hopping mad when they discover that. the next thing is to search for some sample register of members or register of directors and then copy and paste the names you want. you can even prepare it in excel if you want. very easy. Then you just need an online agency to publish your fabricated story.
if you are already a journalist, like Nicholas Ibekwe, it makes it even easier for you. it is just that it will make your reputation less credible for any subsequent story you publish as all the loopholes will be exposed.
